On top of that recommendation I would also recommend Hella and IPF 
conversions as well.  I have IPF lamps on my 1960 Land Rover and am very 
happy with them.  The cut off line for these lamps are very sharp and 
they have a diagonal cutoff at the right side of the lamp that 
illuminates street signs as well as pedestrians/animals alongside the road.

The TR3 has genuine Lucas PL-700 lamps that work well as well.  But not 
quite as well as the IPF lights.

I once had the Moss fake PL-700 lamps which were the poorest functioning 
lamps I've ever had.  Get real and get quality.  One of these days you 
might get caught out after dark.
