Sealed Beam headlamps conversion to Halogen??
I'm struggling after dark with the v. average light output from my sealed beam headlamps (7" circular, lolocost) 
Can anyone suggest what I could use to replace the sealed beam units to take halogen bulbs, keeping the same chrome bits??
i.e. without spending too much.

glowworm headlights

Failing that any land rover accessories supplier will stock them for same sort of cost.

****Thick question alert*****
do these conversions include the sidelights?, cos the minis in particular have about four versions some with integral sides and some without.
Cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

The mini ones I saw yesterday do too.
Word of caution though; I haven't tried any on the car yet. Hope to get round to it tonight.
