Default 8" LED total lamp replacement

In this era of full-system LED replacements for the whole reflector, has anyone come across an 8" unit with high/low settings to replace the OEM 8" unit?

This is a 7" unit which replaces the whole reflector.

8" wasn't that popular so I am sure manuf didn't see a market for it
Motorcycles also used 7" that's why so many variations.

Your best bet is to remove the outer glass from your headlight when your wife is away (you need the oven), install one of those mini Morimoto HID units from The Retrofit Source (no affiliation, I wish) and re-install lens. I did it on my Honda Ridgeline 3 years ago. The HID unit is installed from the front of the reflector (hence, the glass removal is mandatory) and it is held on with a large screw that attaches it against the reflector at the back. Did not vibrate or shake.

Just saying!

Or get an H4 7" or 8" head lamp and install a Hi/Lo LED headlight bulb a pair of LED's can be had for ~ $80 bucks.

What does the cut-off look like up against a wall for low beams on those?
