Was just speaking to the Gent restoring a mini for me and he mentioned maybe getting rid of the sealed beams and replacing them , I just nodded as had no clue then ran to TH-cam, this was the first video I tried luckily, thanks for all the info this was perfect 👍🏼
Yup no hazing of the lens or brightness from the bulb. I have generic flashlights that are brighter than the brand new sealed beams my car had before I switched to LED’s
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 LUX at 25ft for a sealed beam headlight? I have the round 7 inch on my 944 and want to keep oem look but looking to install the oem Jeep headlights to see if Its even better or not
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?
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.
@@HeadlightRevolution wow thanks for replying to an old video! 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...?
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.
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...
You skipped over the 5 3/4 round. For a while only 5 3/4 and 7 inch round whare the only legal ones. Then they aloud the two square sizes. Then composites
the 90s was a dark time for some manufacturers when it comes to headlights. im talking to you chevy, ford, and volvo
Tell em Randy!

Nothing wrong with 90's volvo headligths bruh

Still think sealed beam were more waterproof and you didn't have hazy lenses.
Glass doesn't go hazy

Really?!? 🤤
I miss the old sealed beam lights. Cheap to replace.
Now I've got a yellowed plastic POS assembly that costs $300 to replace.
The sealed beam headlights were bright enough. The new LED lights are blinding.
And now you have to tear the whole front end on some model vehicles... just to change one bulb! "One step into the future."
Haha That's very true, a lot of the newer vehicles are getting a lot more difficult to work on! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
Thanks for the video. Very informative.
Headlight Revolution omg IKR! Like all the LED array headlights!.
U can't even retrofit the new civic headlights.
It's all an attempt by manufacturers to make you not able to work on your own vehicle, so they can make more $$$$$. But I digress.
Have been looking for the knowledges for longtime, it’s become cleared from your clips. Thank you so much!!!!
You got it!
What is the proper way to aim them? How can we improve the light pattern?

So...has anyone fit one of those sealed LED housings on modern cars that don't have a 4x6 home?
What do you mean by this?

why did america demand sealed beam?
Right?!
Thank god for this channel, it really cleared up some things for me. Great content!
Hoovie sent me here. I had no idea about this.
The 90's Era Pontiac Bonneville has glass lenses with a replaceable bulb. It contains three bulbs
How convenient!
Thank you, nicely explained, regards from Australia
Glad we could help, thanks for tuning in from the down under!

A sealed LED housing is almost always better in terms of beam pattern.
thank you for quickly getting to the point of the video
Is the halogen sealed beam out ?
I'm sorry, I don't know exactly what you mean?
Informative
Wish you guys had an upgrade for 1998 to 2004 GMC Sonomas.
Meanwhile the original sealed beams on my 89 k1500 are dying finally
I just recently replaced one of the original sealed beams on my '87 LTD Crown Victoria. It's remarkable how long the sealed beams would last.

problem is .. those led headlights have no cutaway ... and blind the crap out of oncoming traffic
Good video, thanks
Glad you liked the video, thanks for the watch!👍
Fun fact: the Very last Vehicle sold with seal beams was the 2017 Chevy express/gmc savanna work van
Damn - who are you? Some kind of headlight wizard?
@@HeadlightRevolution you can find more about it right Here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chevrolet_Express
I wish they would bring them back, they were easy to change and never needed all this restoration crap😂
And they are still used today on newer vehicles. So terrible.
They sure are. There is a large aftermarket for them though.
1:10 prove it! Lol
we threw some away a few weeks ago. Should've taken the opportunity. shoot!
