I converted my '36 coupe to 6v sealed beams shortly after I bought the car in 1952. I omitted the original switch on the bottom of the steering column in favor of a dash mounted switch and a dimmer switch on the floor. A relay was added to the system to minimize voltage drain and a '39 Ford 2 brush generator with a regulator was added in lieu of the original cut out.
I have driven my Ford over 94k during the years I have owned it in all kinds of road condition, city, rural and the open hiway, never had a problem with the lights, in fact on high beam, people that failed to dim their lights did so very quickly when I flashed my lights at them.
The bulbs that are currently on my car are G-3, G-E..

If I read this correctly, You went to a whole lot more work to improve your headlights than just replacing the bulbs?
