Pretty sure you can just convert it with a kit?

thanks will google it

can't find anything

Hmmmm, I am sure you can convert sealed units to halogen.....

I'll have a look

That's unlikely because the sealed beam don't have any sort of bulb-holding flange. It's just a glass vacuum sealed unit with a filament(s) pre-fitted. I think you may be thinking of the Lucas SLR700 'Flamethrower' spotlight which has a tungsten bulb, but which can have an adaptor to take a halogen bulb.

Well I expect if your handy with a cutter and some glue I'm sure you could take a flange off another light and attach it to it if you want to keep it that bad

[Cooperman]

A sealed beam unit is just a big bulb. You can't cut the back of it as it's all glass with the filament inside, just like a bulb. Break the glass and it will 'pop' just as a bulb does.

Hi

 

Bit late to reply to this but I've just put a post up on how to use these and before putting up notice your question, maybe you still have them? Anyway if you have then worth a look.
