Both. The XL has sealed beams, all others have halogen bulbs.

If you find a conversion kit to go from sealed beam to:

A) HID

B) LED

Let me know... I am looking.

If you look into Hella lights, you should be able to find a replacement for your sealed beam that uses replaceable halogen bulbs, then you should be able to find a HID kit to replace that halogen bulb. I didnt look for your particular application, but they make replacement housings for most sealed beams, to convert them to regular halogen bulbs.

Thanks there. I know that solution, but it seemed kludgy to me -- especially with the motor to move the base of the HID to give high beams.

I am more interested in a more engineered / integrated solution.

That is why I am stalling and using my sealed beams still.
