Greetings all! Once upon a time, twin sealed beam conversion kits were available commercially. Even into the '90s. No doubt because of the number of diesel locomotives which had reflector, single bulb incandescent type headlights. Anyone know of the supplier, if they are still available??? Thanks, Jason |

Jason, What size and manufacturer headlight? In case you can't find one check this patent for drawings. http://www.freepatentsonline.com/2644076.pdf Mike Tillger |

Jason, Have you tried Trans-Lite? http://www.trans-liteinc.com/exterior_lighting.html They took over a lot of the Pyle-National lighting years ago. Richard Wilkens |

Why not use a standard two bulb (PAR) headlight assembly mounted behind the existing lens ? You will also need a double voltage dropping resistor and a new headlight switch. This can be sourced out of generic (EMD) material available from distributors such as PowerRail in PA. Dave |

Jason, have you found a source for your twin sealed beam light fixture? We have been removing them from restorations and replacing them with the older style 14" single beam fixtures. I can make one or two available to you (less mounting bracket). What do you have to trade? Bobb |
