Hella non-sealed headlight upgrade

Post by rbmgf7 »

Purchased a set of these on Amazon. Dropped right in my 1970 F100 bucket. Was a little skeptical at first since people were complaining about fitment but these had zero issues during install. Like they were made for this truck.

That's great to know. I put relays on my headlight circuit recently. These made the sealed beams brighter, and I would like to take the next step to more modern bulbs. As you noted, some of the reviews describe fitment issues, so it is nice to hear from someone who took the plunge. Thank you for letting us know.
