How to tell if you have sealed beam head lights or ellipsoid healights?

[accident]

if you have removable bulbs on the back side you have ellips

Not true, there was an H4 upgrade that also had removable bulbs but no projector.

i have a question.
my car came with seal beams. and i found some guy willing to trade me his ellipsoids. but i was wondering if i can just swap out the low beams from my sealed beams for his low beam ellipsoids?

Nope, sorry. Reason being is that they mount completely differently. The headlight frames for sealed beams are metal and for ellipsoids they are plastic.

Both mounting points are vastly different. Why dont you want the high beams that are paired with the ellipsoids anyway? they are better than sealed beams too.

Dig out an old post, what do I need to convert from seal beam to ellipsoids other than the headlight assembly?

just custom make the new h3 or what ever harness. Really easy and simple to do.
