Default Re: Sealed beams

With sealed beams you have to go with the old kit that replaces the lenses,and you get the bug eyed look,or the behind the lens conversion.That one has an aluminum ring that holds the sealed beam bulb in place.Then the light is being tossed through two sets of prisms, and comes out kind of soft.And,you are still using lots of juice.The new LED's use hardly any,and are plug and play.You twist them in,set the beams level with the allen wrench provided,replace the lenses,and aim them.The aim is very important.The halogen conversions just draw way too much.The low draw halogen substitutes from the Little British Car Company work well,but after using the new LED's you will throw rocks at them.
