Sealed Beam Headlight Conversion
Updated: October 11, 2024
Many older vehicles came equipped with sealed headlights. Such lights do not allow replacing the bulb only. So whenever the bulb is out, the car owner has to replace the whole assembly. This makes the bulb replacement quite time and money-consuming. So no wonder many car owners decide to convert their sealed beams to halogen bulbs.
Sealed beam conversion headlights: explanation & options
Sealed beam conversion headlights allow replacing sealed beam headlight with the assemblies feature a halogen bulb and allow replacing the bulb and keeping the same assembly. Quality sealed beam conversion lights do not require any modifications to the headlight or vehicle wiring.
To install conversion headlights instead of the OE sealed beams you will just need to remove the original assemblies and install the new lights that you select. If you pick the new lights for your specific vehicle application, you will be able to use the same adjustment and mounting hardware. The main difference is about the light output, as halogen headlights will be significantly brighter and you will see the difference when driving at night.

I've installed sealed LED headlights into my JK and it made it look custom! I totally like the way these LED beams focus and work. And halos look so damn aggressive!
