If you want better headlamps have you considered new modern high quality conventional design semi-sealed units.

They should be better than 20 yo OEM lens/reflectors, and are certainly vastly superior to the old sealed beams fitted prior to '92, but with these you only get what you pay for.
I fitted Hella units with high quality lead crystal lens/reflectors.
Hella part no 1043, combined with Phillips extreme vision +100% globes - fantastic lights!!
 
I have found that not all mr2 owners realize that modern headlamps have a sharp cutoff on low beam with the beam rising to the left to eliminate blinding oncoming drivers, and to illuminate signs, pedestrians etc.
However with lens/reflectors in LHD countries the beam rises on the opposite side so don't buy these from the US or Europe - safer to buy in Aust.

If you want the best replacement 5x7 headlight available get the model 8900 LED light made by J.W Speaker in the USA. This company makes quailty lighting products so this is not some cheap Chinese designed rubbish.
 
They have a version to suit driving on the left side of the road with the required approvals ECE/DOT etc. Only problem is that they are roughly $550 per light :)
 
They are very impressive though.

I want to upgrade my head lights as well but I'm not sure I can justify $1000 or so haha
