when i pulled my high beam lamps, today, i noticed one of them was lighter than the other. after looking and tapping on it, the whole thing lens and surrounding was plastic. and the front says sylvania halogen. were the oem headlmaps all plastic? the other one was what i'm normally accustomed to. the all plastic one is the one that blew out too. if it was orignal, that would explain why it gave up the ghost.

i thinks i was referring to the construction of the sealed beam lamp. one of mine was completely plastic, and it was manufactured by sylvania. was very, very light too,lolSave a seal, club a liberal.Comment

I had plastic ones on my 89 Vic. Dunno what they are on this one. But they all need to be replaced soon.
