Mu advice is to do a retro fit. As far as I know there is no aftermarket company that makes a headlight for the 2GS without the Halo.

If you mean aftermarket projector headlights, I don't think there are any. It's all the Ebay stuff you'll find with the halos. This is why members who actually want increased light output/ sharper cutoff/ wider beam pattern do a retrofit instead. To date, this is the only option for us. There are vendors on this forum who can perform this labor for you.

If you're patient and lucky (like me), I was able to get my used LS430 retro headlights for $400.
