does anyone know where to get 7" round quartz halogen sealed beams.
ryans in melb used to sell these 5 years ago.
i need some good lights that can survive a good melbourne mud and water dunk that wont let the tadpoles in.
i'm sick of cleaning the water out of the ipf inserts Mad

Is this going to require a periscope or a snorkel Very Happy

Seriously though why don't you raid a zook and get the headlights off that which are sealed beams and run relays to help with the power and just fab some mounts for them.

Have you thought of supercheap/autobarn/etc/etcand as stated before repco. If you don't want water in your lights drive faster Embarassed

i'm spending more time driving through mud puddles.
the ipf inserts keep getting muddy water inside Mad

even with the rubber boots on.
my dad used to have cheap $30 quartz halogen sealed beams that are literally waterproof Cool

i can get sealed beams anywhere and have upgraded the wiring including relays and circuitbreakers(fuses suck on lights Rolling Eyes

)
i do my fair share of night driving as well so find the qh inserts very handy

I took a set off my patrol and threw em in the bin when I bought my hella H4's go figger eh. but at least the old Qh's are cheap to replace I live in Mt Isa and have seen the sealed beam lights here so you sure as shit should get em in Melbourne TRY NISSAN ASK for original headlamps for an easly GQ you might be supprised.

why not buy a tube of silicon and just seal em up nice and tight

qh lights need too breathe and would burn the silicone off.
i'm looking for wattage 55/65 or greater.
have tried hella,narva,phillips. none of them have made qh sealed beams for years. Crying or Very sad

What would happen if say you had your light, ran a hole up the top connected to say a air input so air constantly blowing in, and a pipe down the bottom acting as a breather. Would this force any moisture out of the lights? and would it take out the globes ?

i'll look into breathers, it is a lot easier than trying to presurise the insert.
thanks guys
