I have the Bosch H4s in a couple of vehicles (including the TR4) and agree
they are superior, but...  I still have the sealed beam halogens in the
TR3A because I like the way they look and do not do much night driving in
that car.

The Bosch's have a very flat lense whereas the old style sealed beams have
more of a bulge to the lens and (to my eye) look better on the TR3A.

BTW -- the Bosch's in the link cited (Bus Depot) actually say 'motorcycle'
on the lens -- no that I can see where that matters.
