41 stock 6v headlight sealed beam

I'm not aware of a 6V LED fully sealed beam unit, however I use semi-sealed beams here in New Zealand i.e. with replaceable 6V H3 quartz-halogen bulbs and am very happy with the results. I have tried several LED bulb options without success. Even ones recommended by a 'Barner' some time ago didn't prove to be suitable. Hopefully someone might have a lead on a better LED solution?
 
Hi Meric42, fellow Kiwi here, love your 42. I flew down to Christchurch/Oamaru around 1988 with a friend and drove a 42 Coupe back to Auckland. It wasn't mine but I ended up doing a lot of work on the car so it became a favourite model. I have a 54 Victoria, where did you get your sealed beams and H3 bulbs? Cheers Geoff Kiwi
 
Hella makes an H4 halogen headlight housing that will take a 6v led halogen style bulb. To my knowledge, no one makes a sealed beam 6v led headlight.

I’ve had so many led bulbs, household and automotive, fail. I just can’t trust Chinese electronics for my headlights.

A tried and true method is sealed beam headlights from NAPA or OReillys and headlight relays. My 6v headlights are as bright as every modern car now.

Hi Geoff, I sent you a PM :)
 
Found at the local NAPA sealed Beam H6006-N. I really like the increase in intensity I liked it so much I went back purchased a second one for the passenger side.
It is rated for 6.4 V 50/40W and contains a Halogen bulb. We will see how it holds up
