Swapping Headlights

I have a new 2019 Hybrid LE with the stock base model multi-LED headlight and hate it's lack of brightness. The dealership and Toyota won't do anything to help me upgrade so im looking at alternatives. I'd like projector style LED lights as I feel they'd be more bright. Unfortunately swapping to projector style requires exchanging the entire headlight which costs over $1000 each from Toyota.

I'm wondering if anyone knew if it's possible to switch from my multi LED headlight to a non-hybrid 2019 model headlight such as a halogen or xenon projector headlight such as the one here from eBay.

I'm concerned it may not be as plug and play to switch from LED to more energy consumptive xenon or halogen. As in if the hybrid would be able to output the power required to run them. If it would work I could possibly even then swap the xenon or halogen bulb with a LED bulb.

Well for one, gen 5 was new for 2019, with a totally different design. Here's a picture comparison, top left taken from the image of a gen 5 headlight on the top of this website, and top right a gen 4 headlight from another ebay listing, with one of your links at the bottom. Don't believe everything you read on ebay.
