    Electrolysis?

    I found a little 3 battery Maglight and went to take the end cap off, I have went to putting this thing in a vise to the point of distorting the barrel and putting a two foot Pipe Wrench on the cap and it laughed at me, it didn’t budge. I have never seen anything like this. Now it was not a pipe...

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    You have the headlight switch and you also have the high beam floor switch. But most of all you have 33 year old wiring harness leading up to the relay on Dan's harness. The wiring in the truck has already given me trouble. It is one of the reasons the headlights are so dim even after I grounded...

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    That sure sounds like the way to go, center position, everything off, rock the top, top accessary on bottom accessary off, rock the bottom,bottom accessary on, top accessary off. No way to leave both on, just have to wire one circuit, less dashboard clutter, just have to install one switch...

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    He compared me to Red Green, the master of rig jobs and then provided a link to one of his videos. He said since I am using two rocker switches, one for low beam and one for high beam, do not leave both of them on because it will probably explode the bulb destroying the housing. But it will work...

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    That thought occurred to me, a violation of privacy, and Dan Stern reiterated the same thing when I mentioned it. So I will keep my E-Mails with him private and just paraphrase information if I think it is useful. Which for a variety of reasons is the way he would much prefer.

    I was told as much by Dan Stern. I will try and publish his EMail if I can figure out how to do it.

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    All good points well taken and good information. But you are still talking a minimum of $408 plus tax and maybe shipping from JW Speaker to get a warranty. I got the pair of Hellas which are the best readily available replacement bulb conversion and a pair of ceramic headlamp plugs for $105...

    Posts 5 & 6 by Mr. Merc and Virgil snuck in while I was typing post #7, a response to Virgil's first post. I did not know they were there. I was not ignoring them.

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    I got it, looks like I will have to buy the units as single items. Beamtech is junk? I did not know this either I will check out Dan Stern. Going to direct wire from the battery. No old OEM switches, no old OEM wiring, no relays to go wrong. Direct current to the good bulbs from Dan Stern...

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    That is what Mr. Merc was telling me. Caught me by surprise. How could ya'll tell? Sounds like Dan Stern is a legit company, I will look into what they have. What is the highest wattage bulb I can put into that housing? Clear this up for me, there are H4 bulbs which are Halogens which some say...

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    Thanks, I almost made a huge mistake. I thought it was the same light packaged as a pair. I will check out the Philips. I am going to direct wire the lights from the battery with some 12G to two new ceramic plugs through a lighted rocker switch mounted on the dash yaps sing all told wiring and...

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    That is the Hella unit I was looking at, HLA-003427291 and HLA-003427811 which I think is the same unit sold as a pair, unless I am wrong. Though at the time I had no idea if it was E-code or SAE. Ironically some people on the reviews said the E-code was a better pattern. You are saying the SAE...

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    Okay, I am certain the JW Speaker Lights are superior. The 8900-EV2 Non Heated Black is $204 apiece, chrome $220 apiece. The Hella Lights I were looking at were the HLA-003427291 at $44 apiece and the HLA-003427811, which I think is the same light sold as a pair, for $77.63 a pair. Am I...

    5X7 Sealed Beam Conversion

    I have an old work truck, 1983 Ford E250, with 5X7 Sealed Beams and I want to convert to a much better system. What is the best way to go? I looked at Hella H4 lights for about $100.
