    I know, I know, but I need help converting from Elipsoid to sealed beams

    I am converting my race car from Elipsoids to Sealed Beams and need help with the wiring, just need to know what colors to splice to what colors please.

    Unless I am mistaking the Elipsoids for something they are not. I believe the elipsoids to be desirable in the e30 community and would not want them to be ruined on a race car.

    Thanks

    Nevermind, I went back out and looked again after reading some of the other posts and realized, one hot and one ground, seems pretty simple. I am not worried about the second hot on the low beam as the lights will only be used once in a blue moon.

    Please correct me if I am missing something.

    Thanks

            US ellipsoids are a dime a dozen. He could make perhaps 50-100 bucks trading those for sealed beams.

              So are you hinting that $100 isn't worth it? If you're so well off that money doesn't matter can I have $50?
