You can clearly see the high beam headlights is sealed beam and the low beam is non-sealed beam.... |

?? I agree they look a little different from each other in the photo but both should be sealed beam units. All American cars used sealed beam headlamps from 1940 until the advent of composites in the 1980's. |

That is right, Commander 57. The low beam has different beam pattern design compare to the one we have in our market. The low beam is required to shine at the high left in England instead of high right as in our market. |

But aren't they still "sealed beam" units, meaning the entire unit is replaced when it burns out rather than just the bulb inside? |

That is right. The sealed beam headlight is entire light bulb in the older generation. With the introduction of halogen bulb, too it is fitted inside the headlight as a sealed unit as well. That is what happens with my sealed beam headlights on my old 1985 SAAB 900S that even one part of the filament inside the halogen bulb burns out, I have to replace the entire headlights (not the assembly) just because the low beam filament is actually burned out and the high beam filament still works. I know it is pain in the butt to do that when I had to paid around US 7-8 dollars for the headlight. But, hey, the original headlights I had on my old car did last 20 years by then  -- Last edit: 2010-01-24 21:28:50 |

Same with my '85 Ford Crown Vic. They usually have to be replaced because they get water inside, causing them to loose their interior reflective coating. Wish I could find a way to prevent that! |

Looks like you have the newer sealed beam halogen headlights that has the rubber breather in it. The rubber does deteriorated as it ages and that's how the moisture gets in the headlights. Looks like you got the cheap end  |

Yep. They are halogen. I wonder if some kind of sealant could be used? |

btw.: were sealed beam-lamps allowed in Britain? As I know they are forbidden in the most (all?) European countries. Otherwise once I've seen a K 70-wreck in Ireland (fully loaded with rotten clothes and paper, in a Messie's garden ), which had RHD-sealed beam-lamps (so the Japanese version). |

Yes, in Great Britian. Dunno if this was based on USA sealed beam headlights concept. Dunno when GB switched to their own format. |
