sealed beams
Wadey - January 25th, 2006 at 12:56 AM

hey there

my headlights are old and rusty and in need of such serious work that im thinking it would be much easier to replace them. so my question is about sealed beam style (US spec?) headlights for a 64. are they easily available (and the replacement lights of course) or would it not be worth the while. its just im trying to make my herbie a bit more accurate and since im replacing them anyway, plus its something you dont see that often really so i thought itd be cool. anyone know much about this?
