Here is the States, halogen sealed beams are about $11 each, you can probably find them even cheaper. They are the sealed units, where bulb, glass and reflector are all one piece. They are illegal in

I've been thinking of installing a set of halogen headlights in my Bugeye. I am a bit concerned that the (original) wiring harness won't be able to handle the added current needed to run them. What d

<Isn't the standard Halogen wattage rating the same as the tungsten?> I think the amount of amps drawn will determine whether or not the wiring will be overloaded. The watt rating is output. Michael

Plug em in and go. I have been running H4 halogens in my bugeye for 12 years now. Sealed beam halogens in the other Sprite. No wire smoke but the generator didn't like the H4s so I put an alternator

If you're just putting in "Sealed Beam Halogens" (same wattage, but more efficient) the stock wiring should handle it if it's in good condition. If you're going for one of the higher-power types, I

Use a couple of relays. If you use the existing wiring as the switch for the relay and you run new wire from the battery to the relay as the power source, you avoid overloading the existing wiring an
