I have just fitted a vintage dual 6V relay and semi-sealed beams to my '41 Coupe. With slightly higher wattage Quartz Halogen bulbs the resulted performance is fantastic i.e. it's like driving a new car, no more dim yellow glow for me .

Here's a link to one the same as I used.

What the heck are "semi sealed beams"? Inquiring minds want to know. LOL
