6volt sealed beam

Sealed beams were a massive improvement over the bulb headlights they replaced, continental european tungsten bulb headlights were also awful and it was only after about the mid 1980s that halogen headlights made as far as the poverty spec Fiesta.

I think it's probably personal. It still works fine from here!

Describe what you mean by a sealed beam?

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember Ernest Bilko saying something like:

Yes, but anyone who actually cared about decent lighting in front of them would quite willingly shell out for a pair of Cibie halogens to replace the awful bulb or sealed lamps.

In fact, some of the European bulbed lights weren't too bad - the small Renault 8 / 10, for example, had a decent set of lights that made good use of the wattage available.

I'd expect someone of the experience of Mst Sgt Bilko to know of the whereabouts of a large cache of them, eh?

Now you're confusing old TV shows with reality. Do you often have this problem?

Meanwhile, the OP has found out where he can get the 6V sealed beam headlights he was looking for, even though you seem to have a problem acknowledging their possible existence.

Sorry to mention it again, but for some (no doubt perverse) reason, I find it funny.

Now you're confusing Usenet with reality. Do you often have this problem?

Damn! You're quite right.

I don't know what came over me, I don't usually have that problem.

Still can't access the site, Looks like it is a DNS thing. Ahh well never mind, though it's a good job I don't need a sealed beam replacement.

It works ok here using Oregano.

I don't think these were ever made. I would go to

and purchase a halogen conversion kit - which they do for headlamps. I shouldn't expect too much problem modifying it to fit a fog light.

I thought old tv shows were real - not like the current so-called "reality shows"

You may find that the base too bulky when putting it into a fog lamp. But this would be a very practical idea as there are a mulitude of lamps and semi sealed units that would fit.
