HELP!! I need lights!

The sealed beam head lights on my 05 F350 are dangerously dim and I really need to upgrade them to HID or LED units.

Here's the pinch though....I live in Dubai where the 350 was never sold so finding on the shelf parts is next to impossible.
My lights design are like these...but SEALED BEAM. Mitula cars

Since there are so many variables of Ford F350 lights on the market I have to be sure that I get the order right first time so I'm counting on you guys to help me.
What would you recommend as s straight swap over light unit to take me from Sealed Beam to brighter vision?
Next question is direction to an on-line store that has the exact items that I wish to purchase.

Thanks for the help guys.

I have tried a couple of aftermarket HID systems on a 2011 f250 and the glare other drivers see made me remove them, I used to drive a ford van for work and an easy lighting hack was to turn the sealed beams upside down and aim headlamps again... I know it sounds stupid but it worked quite well.

I'd go to auto parts warehouse. Purchase a set of the composite beam headlights and bulbs. I don't think there's anything else to buy. But I could be wrong.

Per my original post...the F350 was never sold in the UAE hence the auto parts shops don't have spare parts or aftermarket items for that matter.

Looking at Google Images I can see thousands of aftermarket headlights for the F350 but which one is the one for me?

I would get these. They have others that are $50 less but these are CAPA certified.

I just don't know if there is more to swapping from a sealed headlight to a composite.
