On sealed beams:
The quad sealed beams on my Power Wagon are VASTLY superior than the terrible excuse for headlights on my old 1997 Dakota. I had upgraded bulbs and the housings were clean. They output as much light as a pair of freebie Harbor Freight flashlights with old mismatched batteries.
I do prefer modern lighting if it's done right (like our CX-50) but not everything is created equal in that respect. Sealed beams aren't that bad.
