My 71 Camaro still has the old, 1 candle power, sealed units - going to convert to halogens, question is, can I just fit RHD ones or are the adjusters on the mountings specific to LHD?

My Bristol has 7" halogens, but I have a set of LHD-spec sealed beams too for when driving in Europe and they swap straight over. The difference is amazing - I'm always surprised how dark French roads are with the sealed beams!

Ta, for the replies. Looks like at least one of the jobs on my Winter fettling list should be simple!

you may find that the locating lugs on the sealed beam units are in a different place to the halogen lamp units, a few mins with a file on the mounting bowls will sort this out! Also use relays if they are not already employed else you may burn out the switches!
