Has anybody tried fitting 5x7 (H6054) sealed beams in place of the stock Gen 2 headlights? There are some pretty nice 5x7 LED lamps that I've been thinking about.

Because they had different headlight requirements that the composite headlights didn't meet. Those models also had driver adjustable angle headlights. The panel right below the steering column had a switch that could raise or lower the angle of the headlight. (I looked into it a while back.)
