Gosh, this is a no-brainer . . . . The 7" Cibies or Hellas at 60/55 work great, even without a relay. There's also a place in So.Cal. (I think their name is Aardvark . . .) that sells VINTAGE quartz/halogen headlights. I've got a set of mid-60's Cibies on my 289, and they look and work great. There's no reason to use sealed beams, IMHO.
High-80's in Los Angeles today, by the way . . . .
Best,
Alan
