Headlights were next on the list. I had to buy a few replacement parts for the brackets and things. I used pop-rivets to attach them to the housing. I tried several running light sockets and finally found a design that worked. You can see the roughness of the rust pitting under where the parking light fairing goes. Fortunately it'll get covered and won't be seen.

I got some LED orange lights for the parking lights. I like how they look. They're quite bright and I think it's pretty cool. You can't really tell they're not original from the outside other than how much brighter they are.
