If your looking for the sealed beams then good luck, in my opinion I would upgrade to halogen headlights cause the sealed beams are as good as candles in jam jars. You can pick up a good convertion kit on eBay or even places like Huddersfield minis do them

Just put the angel eye headlights in our mini because the sealed units are dull, had them from Mini Sport, but Huddersfield Spares do them to

I've fitted a few set of these in the past and they've always been good. Clicky
They are very good. The Cibie or Hella are better, but a lot more expensive.
'Autopal' lights are excellent as well and inexpensive for what they are.
