I have done this on my Spider and it was dead easy to swap the old 7" units with standard H4 ones. I just used cheapo ones from a company called Ring and it cost me less than 40 quid including bulbs. You could probably spend more money to get something similar from Hella or others.

One thing you really must do if you go to halogens, but it's a good idea even if you don't, is to rewire the headlamp circuit to use relays instead of pushing a whole load of amps through the fragile stalk switch.
