Stop in for a cup of coffee

There is a difference in the glasses for 5 3/4 lamps, look at these from Summit. Look at the lamp from the side, how the glass is. It does not look like the original sealed beam lamps. I used to have these for the upper lamps for my '65 Galaxie, the high beams and low beams. And regular sealed beam halogen for the lower ones, which was only high beams.

These are not ECE lamps, but the picture shows how the glass looks like from the side.

The next link is for the same 5 3/4 lamp, ECE approved,

Then, the 7 inch, they have a look more like the original sealed beam ones,

I don't really know the reason for the glass on the 5 3/4" lamp being moved more forward. But, I wonder if it is to give the glass a certain distance to the bulb / filament for the glass to properly adjust the light pattern.

It is also possible to find these in big and small rectangular sealed beam conversions. And the same H4 bulb fits in those too.

I thought this was for an A-body?
The 4 lamp systems with the smaller lamps have less room for good placement of the H4 bulb hi/low. :(

There's all sorts of bulb designs. You can find lamps with flat lenses, concave lenses, and convex lenses.
And then there was the Lucas Flamethrowers...
