Found some Chinese ones on ebay that look the same for about £1.80 and they work well

Basicaly just needs a bit of dremel work on a spare bulb holder to make room for an H4 socket (Halfords) which I glued in place with plastic metal. The spring in one of the pictures has since been replaced with a piece of spring wire similar to the original. There are variations with the holders so the actual work to make the lamp fit might vary slightly, both mine were slightly different but both perform very well.

Done one on my GP, I just had to make the hole in the bulb holder slightly bigger to accept the H4 bulb and remove some existing prongs on the GP holder, it's a tight fit so helps cure vibrating loose, the 3 pronged affair is easy to remove from the bulb [unlike Colin's above, you need to remove the 3 prongs in a GP set up]. H4 fitments are only a couple of quid and H4 bulb sets from Pound shop make it a cheap convertion. You can get 35 watt bulbs but they're much more expensive than the 55s.
