You're welcome Alan, i thought she might, hence adding the links for the conversion bulbs designed to fit as well as the converter rings to allow H4 bulbs to fit. Being pre-1986 there's no MoT problems with LED bulbs although those linked to will give a perfect beam pattern.

Fitting the replacement headlamp sockets should be fairly easy, as long as the full beam tell-tale works and full beam works at the same time then dipped beam should also work.

There are other headlamp options available for the 7" round headlamps but i would suggest the simplest choices rather than going for a full on crystal lens with faceted reflectors as they would just look wrong.

For the time being i'd definitely agree with getting everything working to a basic standard and from there decide what needs upgrading/enhancing.
