Ok so my low beam went out on my bike and they wanted to charge me any where between 30 and 60 bucks for a new light.

Well I really didn't want to pay that for a crappy light so I modified the one I had

I went to advanced got a halogen bulb for 6 bucks bent the tabs that held the old sealed beam light bulb in, broke it out and stuck in the halogen bulb, put some goop on it to hold it and seal it. Works great and I get to keep $24 for something else

A sealed beam is a type of lamp that includes a reflector and filament as a single assembly, over which a front cover (lens), usually of clear glass, is permanently attached. If your headlight has a removable bulb it isn't a sealed beam.
