A sealed beam headlight is just that. The unit is sealed and you replace the entire light. A composite is made of pieces that's why the name. To replace a composite you put a new blub in the back.

Need to specify which headlights you have... you either have the dual composite headlights, or you have the sealed beam headlight.

In the case of a sealed beam headlight, you have to replace the entire assembly.
