Location: Iowa USA		Actually they are a semi sealed beam.
They are metal backed and the glass lens can be removed and a new backing from a modern halogen bulb setup added. That way you can have the classic look of the bullseye with a modern replacable bulb

The original bulbs actually had a small bulb inside a larger bulb so even when the lens was broken it would still work. Originals can also turn dark and still work

Location: Walhalla, ND		There was an article on this subject in the Plymouth Bulletin several years ago. If anyone wants a copy, send their name and address to the Plymouth Owners Club, Inc., P O Box 416, Cavalier, North Dakota 58220-0416 and I will send a copy of it to them free of charge. Make sure you specify the Bulls-Eye headlamp conversion on your note/letter.
