Default sealed beam headlights, where

I have a burned out sealed beam head lamp. Are any US made? Though, I have looked, only one dealer seems to have any. Are there other sources, (emergency lighting bulbs, etc ?) I didn't make the conversion so I don't have the original parts. I should have said it's 6V.

6 or 12 volt? I have a new 12V one I don't need.

Edit: I see you need 6V, nevermind.

Just Google "Sealed Beam Headlights". Results will contain eBay, Amazon, Tractor Supply, and a ton of other sources.

What size? Most cars from the 40's, 50's, 60's, 70's had sealed beam headlamps and still readily available.

My neighbor purchased one at TSC. Not made in United States but then again most electrical parts are made offshore. Wayne

Do you want old type with metal back and a bulb inside or modern all glass ones

Another option is a lens reflector unit that takes H4 bulbs-- then there are many choices for wattage and voltage

When I needed 6V sealed beam replacements, I bought them from Quadratec.com (a Jeep supply house, of all places) - Sylvania 6006s, $12.99 ea, part #97000.405
