Which Kind of Headlamp?

How do I know if I have a sealed beam or regular Headlamp other than taking it apart. I don't think it says it on the window sticker, and it doesnt say in the manual. Is there any way to find out.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

Idk of too many vehicles with a sealed beam anymore, other than farm equipment. Yours should be the type that the bulb & connector pull out the back. Usually have to twist oneway and carefully remove it.

The only reason I say that is because the owners manual has two sets of instructions for changing bulbs, one is aerodynamic, the other is sealed beam.

sealed beam healights usually only come on the work truck type f250's....it will have plastic all around the glass square headlight with grooves for screws down each side, they set further back in the houseing.....same thing as jeep headlights........most f250s will have composite headlights with h13/9008 bulbs....these stick out flush with the front end and you can see the bulb easily inside...hope that helps..

Well I know I have the H13 bulbs, if the sealed beam has a different bulb then I know for sure that I don't have those.
