I'd get rid of the entire assembly and buy Cibie E-spec (European Code) headlight assemblies. I think about $60 each or so. That's what I'm getting.
I want a better headlight, but I don't want to go through the hassle and expense of changing over to HID's. This seems about the best choice and I've had Cibie conversions before. Excellent product!

I went with Sylvania Silver Stars for the low and high bulbs, upgraded the fogs to 885 bulbs, and reaimed them (the fogs tend to come set low from the factory)

I would like to hear more info on the ability of the stock wiring to support the 80/100 watt combo, especially as I tend to pull the stalk back to illuminate both low and high beams when entering a blind right turn (as a warning to oncoming vehicles that can't see me yet to stay on their own side of the road)
