Are there any better headlight options that have the sealed beam convex lens look? Everywhere I search is either those cheap clear lens or the flat lens that Hella and the smiley ellipsoids have.

Better lighting with sealed beam convex lens look?

No, not really. I mean, all the Cibie/Hella plug-and-play lenses are going to be flat as well as far as I know, and it's because a flat lens is just better at its job. Is it an aesthetic thing?Interested in vintage cars? Ever thought about racing one? Info, photos, videos, and more can be found at www.michaelsvintageracing.com!

I am thinking about getting a reflector and use a sealed beam lens. Beam pattern will just suck but at least it will be brighter.sigpic

I know this is reviving an old thread but, I too am searching for a replacement lens for the sealed beams that allows me to use replaceable H1/H4 bulbs and still retains the OEM look convex lens.
Autopal makes a convex lens 5 3/4" "E" code H1/H4 sealed beam replacement . These are a similar design to the Hella, Bosch and NLA Cibie lights. The light has a metal reflector and glass lens, though I have heard that the glass is thinner than that on the Hella and are made in India. I am running the flat version on my M6 and couldn't be happier.
