Any thoughts? Might bid on an item on eBay that ends in 4 days. . .

The lens/unit size will be the same.
Aren't federals sealed beam? Ours are bulbs and reflectors.
I would imagine that (unless they changed connectors on the looms) the connections would match.

Good point Sy. Didn't think about the connections.
Yes, the Federal are sealed beams. I have this unnatural fascination with HID which will eventually lead me to toss the sealed beams in favor of the bulb reflector HID type (sealed beam HID exist only in complete sets, but what happens when one of the bulbs go out?!).
I saw a set of the reflector and lenses on eBay.co.uk and that naturally got me thinking. . . :wink:
