Default LED headlight replacement for 6v. sealed beams

Is there an LED replacement unit available for 6v. sealed beam units? I have a burnt out sealed beam unit on my 51 ford and it would be a good time to make the switch, Thanks in advance. Barry

I've seen bulbs, but no sealed beams. The best way to prolong bulb life is to eliminate vibration and be sure there is a good ground. When I owned my '50 Ford I ran a seperate ground wire to the socket, also most LED's are not focused correctly to use as headlights.

Look for 7" H4 conversion kits then buy a H4 led bulb.
The curved glass ones looks real good as a substitute.
Cheap led headlight bulbs has a dodgy beam...sometimes it´s even a hazard for people meeting you in traffic...so pic a good led bulb.
