[T3] Voltage Regulator

[Bryon Garvin]

I was going thru the ole inbox and found this email because I meant to ask
about the halogen bulbs.  I read the writeup on the type3.org page (
http://vwtype3.org/info-headlight-conversion.txt) and got somewhat
intimidated awhile back, but then saw this thread and wondered if things had
changed.

So, there are halogen bulbs that I can buy and just swap out that won't
require additional wiring/relays?  A quick check found some for about $17.
 Here's one example:  http://bughaus.com/type37.htm

<http://bughaus.com/type37.htm>Is this just a swappable sealed beam that
would work with original wiring?

Thanks,
