sealed beam is the type where you have to replace the whole thing, you
can't access the bulb. I know the 88'-91's have them, but I don't know
much about the other years. I'm pretty sure 92'-95- have them too...

   I could be wrong, but I believe the sealed beam type are the kind
where you can't take the light apart and replace a bulb. You basically
have to replace the entire headlight. (Its got a plug on the back of
the headlight that plugs into a receptacle.) I think my Father's last
car (91 Voyager) had them, although his current 94 Caravan has bulbs
I think.
