When I moved to France in 2009 I had to replace the headlight units on our L200 pickup with dip to the right units for driving on the right. A local brit-run garage supplied a pair of Depo aftermarket units, made in Korea, together with some uprated tungsten bulbs they were the best headlamp set up on any car I've ever had, you could see for miles on a country road at night here when it's really black out conditions - no street lamps ! EG -www.eurocarparts.com/p/depo-headlamp-471820241

Those Depo aftermarket units are sometimes fitted to 120 Series (there will be others needing them) Landcruisers by switched on owners, seldom see a derogatory remark about them, indeed lasting at least as long as the OE units, OEs need regular buffing after about 12 years due to sun damage but in the end the crazing gets too deep in the lens to polish out, they Depo units also have the correct fittings to accept the electric motors from the OE units, keeping the ability to alter beam height from a dash switch.

Dedicated switch for headlight aim that is not hidden in some sub menu in a hideous digi screen only visible if you have the vision and computer knack of a child, i've spent the last week enjoying the, er, benefits of digi dashboards whilst my regular truck has been off the road with major mechanical failure, its only 18 months old but thankfully made just before everything went digi that come with umpteen bings and bongs going off all day long, as i said on another thread there's never a 12 year old child handy when you need one to find and delete all that garbage.
