Sealed beam to halogen conversion

First thanks for the responce.

let me explain a little better I have a 86 bronco and dont like the one peice lights (whole bulb setup) am looking to do a conversion to the lighting system on the 87 + fords (plastic case and lense with bulb inserts ) and havent been able to find a set for older vehicles.
that would convert them.

OPTION 1 replace my front clip with 87 or newer modle. (ain't hapenen I like the older look better)

OPTION 2 biuld & desighn a set myselfe (looking in to this)

but again thanks for the responce and any additional help would be great.

Due to the fact that 87 was a change-up year ,I suspect you will need to do front end switch or a retro-fit of your own to make those lights work.
That's the problem with change-up years.

One of the parts catalogs has them. I think it's J.C. Whitney, but I'm not completely sure...

I put HID Xenon Lights on my 83 Bronco and they look awesome. Very easy coversion with no aditional items needed. Got them on the best place to buy Bronco stuff

well ok maybe not....but anyway, for $40 you can't beat the look and here is a current auction for some....from the same person I bought from....

oh by the way, it says they look the same during the day but no....they are bright. And they also have availabilty of wiring for day-time running lights....
