Patti,

Do NOT buy the entire outer headlight assembly. It is not necessary, and
also is not
a sealed beam headlight. As an example, go to the bus depot site and look
at their
offerings of headlight assembly, AND the light bulb (9004) itself here:
http://www.busdepot.com/lights-and-lenses?p=1
For one thing, the price difference between $200 for the assembly,and
$13.00 for the bulb,
is scary.

Yes, you can find these bulbs at almost any of your local auto supply
stores. They are common.
Both the high beam and low beam headlights have separate bulbs, and are not
sealed beam lights.
