I own a 1990 Bronco II and it has headlight lenses with a bulb and I want to use a sealed beam headlight. Is there anyone out there that has any information if this can be done? This is my first post on TRS and I've not learned yet how to do a search for this topic. Thank you for your time in reading this...

Why do you want to convert from a newer/better design to an older/worse design... It would also be illegal for you to change them...

the wiring is the same between composite and sealed beam lights.

converting from a second gen to a first gen front clip would be your best bet..but thats an awful lot of work to go backwards...why do you want the sealed beams?

wrong forum BTW...

Ok then, I guess my only arguing point then is that it's a step in the opposote technological direction...

i agree.

and to the OP, if your wanting to do this because your headlights have turned yellow (although 2nd gens dont seem to do that too bad), there are ways of fixing them.
