One of my headlights (Low Beam) has just blown, and I have found that they are a sealed beam (1997 80 Series). I can just imagine how much an original part from Toyota is, so I am looking at alternatives. I have read about systems like the ones ARB market, that include high power leads, but I am not sure I want to spend that sort of money at the moment. Can anyone recommend a good all round light (Non-Sealed beam) that I can use, and possibly use this as a step up to a full blown upgrade of the system at a latter date. Thanks.

they are just a rectangular sealed beam light and can be picked up any where for $25 TOPS or spend about $150 and buy 2 halogen light assembly's and replace both the hi/low lights and you will wonder why you didn't do it sooner.
repco,supa chaep,everyone who sells car stuff will be able to source the lights you need, If you don't have to coin to spend on supa doopa lighting systems INC just stick to 65/100w and they will work just fine.
I did on the 80s I used to own and never had an issue

I did the same - I bought the rectangle inserts from Repco and a set of 65/100W Navra globes and fitted them myself.
Its not a hard job to do just a little bit fiddly if you haven't done it before as there is a little clip on the side behinde the indicator light that you need to press with a small srew driver to be able to remove the head light surrounds.
Read your Toyota manual and it will explain it better.
