    Yep, sealed beam type, off of my 78. It is what it is
    '78 E "Stormbringer"

    Purrs like a kitten, roars like a lion, runs like a gazelle (being chased by a cheetah).

      You have to shorten the Special ears by about 5/8", and will need to fab a headlight adjustment bracket if you don't get the special bracket...

        My special headlight adjustment bracket just does not work on my standard with my special headlight.
