Most of the suspension style seats I have seen in Hmmwv's went with a 5 point harness. I am guessing the reason they did this is due to the same problem you are having.
I got all those dang radiator hoses changed and a new heater control valve installed. Next on the list is the belts. I a trying to recruit an anorexic midget to assist with the removal of the line going to the fan motor.
Don't buy the sealed bulb. Hey the Hela H4 housing and the modern bulb of your choice. If you blow a bulb you can stop at you local Napa and grab a bulb.
There is some great info on the swap here.

Another option would be to remove and put in...

Has anyone successfully mounted a warn industrial 18 series winches on a HMMWV?

Has anyone successfully adapted the cobra seats into a HMMWV?
If they would work if anyone has spent any time in a cobra seat I would appreciate some input as to if its worth the time and money to do the swap.
Please forgive me as I really have no idea where to start. I have a HMMWV and I have been working on getting it up to par. One of the guys that has been helping me gather the parts I need gave me a gift yesterday.
It is a new in box complete setup to install a radio in the truck. It's...
