sealed beam conversion kit 700

Has anybody here converted their sealed beams? I thought about this for a while, and it's a real pain in the butt to replace the original lights - compared to the newer style H4 bulbs, which just twist right off. Not to mention that you can use the xenon white/blue bulbs. I did some research, and found a few places where you can purchase these. I believe the 1988 740 uses the 4656 or 4 1/8"x6 1/5' housing. Here is a link: http://www.midnightmoose.com/housings.htm
Anyody interested - take a look.

Too bad I live in Canada, because I couldn't find anybody here involved in selling these things. I guess I have to spend some big bucks on shipping/duty, if I want these puppies.

Iikka.

    Have used good condition H4/H1 for sale 700

    Hello Iikka

    I have used H4 sealed beam conversions from a variety of manufacturers and I would say that they are the best investment that you could make to your car so that you can see better at night.

    If you are having trouble sourcing these lights in toronto, I do have a few sets of used but good condition H4 and also H1 lights kicking around that I could sell to you. I am in Calgary and at the very minimum you save the duty and shipping can be via canada post + it is used pricing. I can provide pictures of the lights if you want. Email me at t*i*m*q*u*o*n@shaw.ca but MAKE SURE TO REMOVE ALL OF THE STARS first.

    Tim.

    There's quite a few on this board that have done this. To take full advantage of this, relays and a wiring harness of heavier guage wire is necessary. I did the full H1 highs and H4 lows with realys and a custom made wire harness. One of the best mods I've done. See http://www.rallylights.com/hella/headlamps.htm
    Also do a search on Daniel Stern Lighting.
