I purchased halogen bulbs that are supposed to fit the original sockets. What is the difference between those bulbs and a halogen sealed beam with adapter that I found on Barn?

This is a sealed beam a totally different animal
To use these they take the place of the stock lenses and you'll need new wiring pigtails and retainers to hold them in. This may not be the route you want to takeYou do not have permission to view this gallery.

Thanks Mitch. This answers all.Comment

Phil, if you are 12v neg you would be much better off running LED lights. I know you already have the halogen bulbs, so once your wallet heals from that, look into the LEDs, MUCH MUCH brighter, and drawing WAY less juice!

Okay. Sounds good, Thanks Wiz.

I bought the 6 volt halogens and ended up sending them back. For the cost they really were not any better than the 50/32 bulbs at $1.45 each vs $27.00 each for Halogen.Comment

I also have a new set of halogens, which I only bench tested to see if they were much better than the standard bulb.Originally posted by old31 View Post
Mine are the 25/25 bulbs, and I thought they were about the same as my stock bulbs.
I'm actually satisfied with my original bulbs.
The main thing is to have good aim, focus, and good reflectors.Comment

i actually do it completely different, I run 32/50 BUT they are setup as a DUAL filament system. meaning I can light both filaments at the same time giving me over 1215 lumens of light vs, 649 lumens on a 35 watt Halogen OR even 927 watts on a 50 wt halogen. The best part is if they blow...its 1.45 to replace.. I use a modified wire system connected to a floor switch to illuminate both filaments OR just leave it at the standard 32 cp....Its pretty amazing and have been running it this way for about 4 years...it MUST be done with a Alternator and a 12gage wire to the alt..not the standard 14....there is also some other modifications that are done but I had a new custom Model A wire harness done with it the way I wanted by Tree Harris and blade fuses built in also...You do not have permission to view this gallery.

Mark, that is impressive, and still at 6V?
I use these at 12V and with them only using 25watts, at 12v, the total draw is only 2amps, and I get 3500 lumens each!

I really must do a side by side photo comparison. I'm not so sure you folks out there appreciate just how bright these light really are compared to even halogens.
Mark, everyone, what would you have me do to convince you that using any style of incandescent bulbs, including halogen, is living in the stone age?
I know change is slow coming, but since I have done all the leg work, it seems simple to me.Last edited by DaWizard; 11-07-2017, 07:16 PM.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!Comment

Just dropped another dime to the folks that sell those, and still no 6v luck. About the lowest voltage they can run on is 9v and that is barely activating the drivers. So for now, sadly, those who run 6v are still in the dark.You wana look waaay far up da road and plan yer route because the brakes are far more of a suggestion than a command!Comment

Has anyone ever tried to use the behind the lens sealed beam adapters and use LED sealed beam type conversion bulbs?...12-09-2018, 05:29 PM -
I was reasonably sure my headlights had been converted over to sealed beams (6V). I opened one of my headlights and that is correct. Typically when this was done how much has been changed inside the headlight housing?
How hard would it be to convert them back? At the least back to a reflector and lens...10-22-2018, 04:22 PM -

I just installed LED headlight bulbs. They plug right in to the original socket. Quick and easy. I want them for day time driving so the others on the road will see me. They work great for that with absolutely no draw on the ammeter. Focusing them is another issue. Probably not going to happen. But if I am caught out at night, which is not likely, it only takes a minute to swap the original bulbs...12-04-2018, 07:57 PM -
We've been trying to locate 5 1/2" diameter 6 volt LED or non sealed beam lights with lower wattage bulbs to use as turn signals. The present bulbs are sealed MAZDA 401-2A similar to the 35 watt Westinghouse bulbs available from Taillight King and others which fit in housings and retained by a chrome trim ring. Looking for a source for LED or single replaceable bulbs out there, before we try...07-20-2018, 09:20 PM -
Ok, first off I would like to explain that you will need to purchase the reflectors with the mounting for the Halogen bulb, the 3 ear mount and this LED light set.

Now, in the following pictures I will make a comment under each one to try to explain what is needed and what was done.

I had bought some 50 - 32 CP 6VT Headlight Bulbs from one of the vendors recently to replace them in my 29 Tudor. I wanted to change both headlight bulbs at the same time so they would have the same brightness.
When I installed the bulbs in the headlight socket two of them had filaments that were parallel to each other like they should be but not horizontal.
