[Healeys] Lucas headlights

[I Erbs]

I was going to place inline fuses on the headlamp wires and call it good. I
have a pair of Cibie H4 lamps/lenses for my car. Right now Ill keep the
sealed beams in it as I have not restarted the car since the loom
replacement and I don't want to introduce any additional unknowns, as the
bulbs are old.
