If you need 7 inch round ones. Try a late model Jeep Wrangler. They are light weight plastic, use a modern hi-output bulb and reflector and they bolt right in.

The 7" round units are available from Pilot Automotive as part number WI-HL7. These are the ones that Year One sells also and are 100% plastic housing and lens. They also sell one that is glass under the part number WI-HL3, so don't get those numbers confused as the glass is less expensive than the plastic. FYI, Year One sells them for $55 and bullychamp.com has them for $36.50.

The ones by Autolock (the ones I think Jegs sells) have a plastic housing with a glass lens.

would this work ?

i weighed a 7" bulb and it was 1lb 3oz and 5.75 bulb was 11oz

Yeah, the Wagner H6024 plastic bulbs went bye bye many years ago.

napa sells the kits. you can get a 7" round plastic LED light, with bulb , and connector to adapt to stock plug for 89.00 per side. i would imagine you could get non LED and be much cheaper.
hope this helps

Does this kit need some kind of relay to assist the light switch from burning out?
If that is the case then the weight issue fazes itself out.
I weighed my glass originals and If I remember correctly, they weighed in the ball park of 1.5- 2. lbs.
I was thinking this same idea a few years back.

I bought some off Ebay.I had them in my 57 and a set in the 65.My kid has a set in his 62 300 also.They are the plastic ones with the replacebale bulbs.One set has been in at least 9 years and still clear as when he installed them.Mine 4 years.All the cars are street driven.No relay needed.The relays Ive heard are a good upgrade though.The Halogen bulb actually draws less amps.Just dont try to run something like a 100/200 watt bulb.I run 55/100 in all of mine.I even have them in the Harleys.Rocky

now this is interesting and something im going to definitely look into further...never thought about going from glass to plastic. Would be nice to save some weight only change bulbs instead of the whole darn light

I used to run Halo's back in the day because I heard that they actually drew less amps and in turn less drag from the Alternator for a grand total of a couple of horses at the flywheel.

Heard that F.A.S.T guys! I bet the F.A.S.T crowd had that one figured out already though.LOL.
