Topic: Looking to replace the bulb inside a sealed beam unit

[Tugboat]

I've heard of this being done before - somehow cut a hole in the back and remove the bulb, and then insert a replacement bulb & socket. Anybody done this before? How did you do it?

There is a kit to convert a conventional sealed beam to LED that works like you describe. Somebody on the forum posted about it within the last month or so.

If you want to stay with halogen, then I would just by the H4 conversion. I put on on my Royal Enfield and it was an easy swap, no more difficult than replacing the sealed beam unit.

This is for our C200 we're using in the $500 challenge, so budget constraints are an issue - which is why I'm looking into chopping up the stocker. Proper replacements are around $45

Lots of threads about this over at HondaTwins.net...where they ride lots of bikes with little 6 volt headlights that there is no available H4 conversion

 I'd cut my finger and still need a bulb.

Cut the original seal beam like some of done for an H4 conversion, and then put one of these in:
