Just some advice here: Do NOT get the Autooptiks!! I've had them and the only advantage to them is that you can change out the bulb. The disadvantage is that the lighting is worse than stock (if that is possible! ) I had them for 2 years and finally took them out and installed Hella 90mm's (I know you don't want round, but this is what I did anyway). I looked around pretty thoroughly and the only thing that looks close to stock and has decent performance are the Hella FF75's. I chose not to get those because I don't like the idea of using driving lights for low beams and the 90mm's are the only true low beams I found.

Here is an option for you. However, check out your housing first. I had to replace one of my headlights because it was broke, but when I did, I found that the new headlight had an adapter on the back which allows you to just replace the bulb and not the whole housing. Goodluck.
