SW20 Sealed headlamp [WA]

Hey guys,
 
Just seeing if anyone has a spare headlamp/ headlight for a 1990 SW20.
It's the sealed type and the low beam has gone on it so i can't drive it at night at all now :(
 
Or if anyone knows where is the best place to get a new one (i imagine a genuine one would be rather costly).
 
 
Cheers.

    Hi I've got two genuine KOITO H4 headlamps (non sealed) including globes in Adelaide in good condition. This a common upgrade from sealed beam as you can replace the globes. 
    let me know if interested.
    Cheers

    Don't bother with another sealed beam.
    They deteriorate with time and are dim and useless by now after 20 years.
    Invest in a good quality a  modern semi-sealed lens reflector set and fit quality modern globes.
    The difference will be staggering.
    I have a PDF writeup on this. If you PM me I could send you a copy, but include your email cos it's too big to PM.

    That would be nifty.
     
    How much would you want for them (plus P+H to Perth)?
     
    Cheers.

    Hi, as far as I'm aware, they are not sealed.  Never the less - I have a spare complete head light unit if you require one.
     
    Regards,
    Mike.

    The ones i have (maybe because of year or Aus delivered) are sealed, i checked the other day because i had some spare globes i was going to pop in, but i couldn't.
    (It also said sealed on the front of the glass)
     
    How much would you want for it?
