They were about $40 each, have high and low beam headlights with H4 bulbs and a parking and turn signal bulb socket added inside the reflector. The parking and turn signals are "very bright" with the headlights turned off, and are "acceptably bright" when the headlights are turned on.

    I did not run conduits, and was able to get all the wires to run through the hollow headlight mounting bolts.
    John,
    I appreciate the answer. I checked out CW Moss' Accessory catalog and did not see a unit like you describe. I'm "OK" with the units I have, but a more stock sealed beam look would be better for me, too. Having both park & turn features is a big plus. Can you give me a pointer to where you found your lights?

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.
