    Has anyone replaced the sealed beam headlamp with a modern shell with LED lamp? If so what did you find that would work in the existing headlamp enclosure with or without modifying the chrome shell?

    I haven't gone to LED (yet), but I did go to a halogen style bulb and newer enclosure. I used this, then later painted it black. I attached it with some fork mount brackets, and used turn signals as the mounting bolts on either side.

    Now what I would like to use if budget weren't an issue is this, but alas my last name is not Rockefeller.

    Hey those are cool. I've been looking for something like that. Not into the bug-eye look? I think it could be neat, but I haven't really seen many with dual headlights, so I'm not sure yet.
