Ive never done a sealed beam conversion, but it would be similar to the regular swap. If you want new head lights go on ebay, they have several options like these:

NEW 99-04 SUPERDUTY EXCURSION CONVERSION 07 HEADLAMP HEADLIGHTS SET 00 01 02 03 | eBay

99-04 SUPERDUTY EXCURSION CONVERSION 07 HARLEY HEADLAMPS HEADLIGHTS 00 01 02 03 | eBay

As far as the HID conversion if you stick with the oem style case just buy an HID kit, I have DDM tunning HID's in my truck right now, but i would not recommend them, I've had several problems with mine and I'm shopping for a new set now, maybe someone else will chime in and have a good brand recommendation

You could get some really good drop in headlamps with upgradable bulbs. Lots of good european stuff available.

Hi,
I have purchased two kits form this guy on Ebay and have been very happy
each time First time was my 2002 Ranger the second was my 2006 F-350.
They seem to be very good at answering questions and ship fast

Ebay user ID : quality_autoaccessory
Do a advanced search on Ebay for them.
Good luck
Sean
