    I am looking for something to replace the headlights on my 1967 Cougar. It uses 4 (5.75") sealed beams. The outer lights are low beam and the inner two lights come on as high and all 4 lights sway on. Can you direct me to a link on your website where I can see what options I have?

    What is the best but cheap LED option for a H4666 headlight which is on the 94 to 97 Chevy S10 and 87 to 92 Dodge Dakota? All the 4x6 options that I have looked at does not have the slanted pin like H4666 sealed beam. It seems like that I might need to do some rewiring.

    I have a vintage Honda motorcycle headlight (1960s CM72) . I need to change out the sealed beam for a halogen/LED in order for the bike to be compliant. I can't find a housing for it. (I bought the halogen bulb) but I have no means to mix it to the old light. I drilled out the old sealed been fixture for the bulb so there is a hole, but it is an arc and with no housing, there is no way to hold it. Any ideas?

    So what's the better sealed beam upgrade: a composite / conversion lens with an LED bulb (like a Hella 4x6 with Morimoto H4), or a sealed LED housing (like JW Speaker)?
    That would be a great video...

      A sealed LED housing is almost always better in terms of beam pattern.

      What I mean is, for example, take a 4x6 LED all in one and custom fit it into a modern car that doesn't use a sealed beam, like a Toyota camry or something haha. I guess the work required to modify the housing to make it fit the 4x6 would be too much...?

    • @HeadlightRevolution
      @HeadlightRevolution  2 роки тому

      No problem!
      It would definitely be more work than its worth, now if you just wanted to custom fit them for something like some huge oversized fog lights that double as high beams then yeah sure something like that might be easier but modifying everything to fit in a vehicle that doesn't normally use 4x6 wouldn't really be worth it.
