Headlight aiming on 96

Is it just me or are these rear reflecting headlights a total waste? The kind that the lamp aims forward into a reflector which sends the light backwards to be reflected out to the front of the vehicle. I've had these to two diff. shops and they can't figure out how to aim them since there's no direct beam of light as on most headlights. One said to go on a dark deserted back road and try and aim them there. help..

Is it possible to replace these kinds of headlights with the straight ahead shining kind?
