Looking for plastic lens sealed beam - 04/14/18 04:30 AM
Buddy of mine is looking for some sealed beams with the plastic lens in place of the glass version. For a 68 Cuda.
Used to see them all the time back in the 80's but can't seem to find them now.
Anyone have a source for them ( and part number if you do )?

I don't remember ever seeing plastic 6024 headlights. That's a new one on me.

You can get modern day plastic Chinese headlamps on e-pay but are too bling blingy.
I remember seeing plastic covers you put over headlmaps,but not plastic housings.
Square headlamps in K cars and M bodies were plastic,yes,but not older Mopars.
Older Marchall,Cibie,Carello halogen conversions were made of glass.

Ok, thanks, maybe he is confusing the round with the square ones

I remember this discussion here a long time ago, somebody made them in the past. However there were very hard to find at the time and probably impossible now.
I would like them for my 69 Cuda also.

Headlamp? Like for halogen bulb?

The whole headlight - instead of glass supposedly there was one made in plastic.
I told him if he can't find plastic ones he could probably eliminate the same amount of weight by wearing silk undies.

Cibie had them,not sure if they are still made, they use a replaceable bulb ?

I was thinking the housings that take halogen bulb. But then that wouldn't be a sealed beam.

He doesn't care if it's a sealed beam or not - looking for the plastic housing then - and install a halogen bulb - that would be fine.

Recently there were some that were weighed. They were actually heavier than the glass ones.

I used vision x. I can't remember if they were glass or plastic. The last set I converted I used the new jk housings Everton upgrades them so you can get them cheap. they need an adapter for the different bulb plug though.
