Here in the states we can buy what is called
"Sealed Beam Halogen" bulbs which externally look like the old style sealed
beam headlights but contain a small quartz bulb inside (quartz-halogen). And,
at least in my experience, don't work as well (or last as long) as good H4
lamps. The light pattern they put out is the same as the old tungsten sealed
beams.

No, of course they aren't as good as the
H4's but they are cheap everywhere. I've had no issues about longevity,
however.

Hi List!
I agree with
both of these people, but the reason I changed was because of:
1- Randall's
points.
2- His place of suggested purchasing (lower price).
3- It's easier to
store the replacement bulb for the H4 Headlamp in my TR4A than a seal beam
style.
4- You can purchase a wider variety range of bulbs at most local stores
(including Walmart types of stores- NFI at ALL), but ease of purchasing when
on the road.
I also purchased 'Stone Guards' at a flee market & made the
headlamp to stone guard clips (which hold the Headlamp Rings on better).
You do what you want, because it's YOUR car.
