They are 7" headlight inserts. I got my H4 semi sealed inserts from supercrap they were cheap but pretty crap the reflector is almost a matt finish

I had H4's in but ended up going back to sealed beams, considering i got the for $25ea new

Reasoning was sealed beams dont fill with mud...and being that tassie is full of its a good choice

As a general rule, any sealed beam lights are better than ones with H4 (or other) removable globes though

But i took the fun alternative.. 91 Accord lol

Got a similar pair from ebay in mine with relay and wiring upgrade. works a treat compared to stock. had no problems with mud/water getting into them.

Good luck with the fooly sik crystal lights....... They are NOT A.D.R compliant and could get you in more shit than having a light out. Coppers round here have made them an almost extinct species.

i have this problem too - running sealed beams i wasnt getting enough light onto the road, so i went to H4's - but the unsealed ones filled with mud and now im pretty much back to the same lighting i had with sealed... lol

has anyone managed to waterproof H4?

Also, steve - the Landcruiser sealed beams - how are they better than an aftermarket sealed beam? just curious.

I believe the Toyota lights are Halogen sealed beams instead of Suzuki's tungsten filament.

they dont have to look hard though - those lights stand out as not being factory - and theyre extremely blinding to whatever you point them at =)
