Headlight conversion
Just wondering if anybody makes a decent sealed beam headlight which would replace the current setup in my 87 F250 (plexiglass lens). I was driving in a snowstorm last month and the plexiglass lamp covers diffuses the light in such a way that it was almost impossible to see the road through the snow. I changed vehicles with a friend who had regular sealed beam headlights and the amount of reflected light was greatly reduced, much better visiblity. I was just wondering if anybody had discovered this problem beside myself, my eyes are still good for a 40-something guy. A replacement system would be great but I really want it to match the way the headlamps are integrated into the body on the 87-88 pickups. thanks, bob

they would help but...
I'm still dealing with the diffusion of the headlights in the snow; the fog lamps would help but probably won't help as much as getting a new lens cover (glass) or really big sealed beams. Thanks, bob

$120 from summit http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?part=hla-74500
PIAA has some nice ones but I think Hella is better quality. They come in driving or fog lamp. You'd prob want driving.
If you poke around summit for hella stuff you can find other ones. Those might look a little small on a truck. only 4" x 2" x 3". These ones are 7" http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku
