Patrol Headlights...

So I have decided to change my headlights.

My Patrol has had HID conversions on since the day I bought it and I hate them.

I hate the way other drivers feel they need to flash at me to turn off high beam.
I hate the way high beam makes no difference to the darkness in front.
I hate the way they have scorched the original reflectors.
I hate the way they have to warm up.
I hate the way sometimes one decides not to come on and I have to turn them off and on again.

Did I mention I hate them?

So I need some new headlights and I'm just going to put some decent Night Breakers in them...

Looking at the headlights available for my year and model, and I think I will have to get the manually adjusted version. (i.e, I wont be able to use the little numbered control in the cab to raise and lower the beam angle)

I had wondered, because I can't seem to find an answer, if the headlights from the 2005 (GU4) shape onwards might fit?

I know that the headlights and indicators in mine are two separate bits, and in the newer shape they are one whole unit... But the general shape of the lights look like they may fit?

Oh wat to do!?
