Two stages to the latest changes:
First stage:
Change original orange reflector headlights (orange details on cars is my pet hate...) to newer white reflector ones (although internal indicator part is still orange, unfortunately). Initial problems with bulb failure indicator, because the sidelight/parking light became LED, however this was fixed with tracing the new wiring and installing an Osram 5W ballast resistor.
Much happier with the new look. And less crazing to the headlights has improved lighting - an unexpected bonus.
