    sealed beams to ellipsoids mounting bracket?

    I am getting ready to get make the conversion from sealed beams to ellipsoids and I had a question about them.

    I read there is a mounting bracket that is needed for the conversion. Anyone have a picture of it as I am unsure if I have it.

    You need the complete ellipsoids. With light housings and brackets. It will bolt right on.

    You can not use the sealed beam parts at all.

      I have the complete housings I think. That is why I was double checking.

        If you've got a high beam and a low beam both mounted to a big black plastic bracket then you're good to go. It's really pretty simple.

          Okay cool yeah both headlights are in the black plastic housings. I thought there was another bracket and got scarred. Should be dropping them in Friday I am excited.

                Can you fit the H1 highbeams into sealed beam brackets? I found a pair local that I want to snag without switching full assemblies. I have good lows already

                  Hey guys stupid question, How hard is it to replace the headlight bulbs on the sealed beams, or (I know this might be stupid) do I replace the whole circular light? I can't see where I would get in to change the bulb

                    you have to buy the whole light. the bulb isnt removable.

                      hence the term "sealed" beam
