H4 Halogen headlamp conversion

Well, I really did try to search the SS site to find the answer to this one but to no avail. One of my trucks has Bosch headlamp assemblies with 24 volt 75/70 watt H4 bulbs in it. They are incredibly brighter than the headlamps on my deuce or 5-ton. I was fiddling about with the H4 assembly and happened to compare it to the stock US sealed beam. Woo-hoo! they are a bolt in swap. Except the wires connecting them must be altered. No problem, every auto parts store sells the connector for $3 or $4. Here's my problem, I found the 24 volt H4 bulbs on line, but I cannot find the headlamp assemblies. I did find a few 7" conversion kits, however, they had fancy pants diamond lenses that belong in Star Trek, not on my deuce. Can anyone (who is more computer savvy) help me find these? Believe me, I have already spent a couple of hours searching Al Gore's internet.
I have attached photo's of the Bosch lenses.
Thanks!

I can check that yellow tag's number on Tuesday when the parts places are open. A friend has an account with some suppliers so I would be able to get them at a reasonable cost.

This is just unbelieveable! I posted my request for help shortly before midnight on a Saturday evening. I'm not sure I expected a reply at all, never mind two replies within a couple of hours.
Gimpyrobb, thanks for the offer to look for me but it's no longer necessary. Blackdog's reply with the URL going to Garbee's page was exactly what I was looking for. I went to the website and ordered 6 Hella headlamp lenses, 6 H4 female connectors, four 75/70watt H4 bulbs and four 100/90watt bulbs. I am now $331 poorer but also $331 happier.
Once again, this list is just amazing!
(I'll have to donate now, just to make me feel less guilty)
