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.

i just got a pair of halogens for an MGB £23 inc vat and bulbs from MGBhive,should be a straight swap as they are meant to be an upgrade from sealed
glowworm headlights![](/images//smilies/bigsmile.gif)

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.
