I assume you have quad headlights,so yes you can get halogen for that size. Also I have heard it is a good upgrade to rewire the headlights with thicker wire and use a relay to switch them,and you get less current drop throught the thicker wire,hence brighter lights.

They are 5 3/4" and were used on allsorts of cars like Capris and Rover p6. Any half decent parts supplier really, or ebay I should think.
