Here's a link to the people I and many others have used: https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk . If you are changing the indicator bulbs, you will need to fit this https://www.classiccarleds.co.uk/pr...-classic-car-with-oe-click-x-l-p-2-3-pin , if you don't the indicators will flash too quickly.

Good luck, the company is very helpful and will answer queries over the phone. Fitting LEDs is an incredibly worthwhile mod, in my view, virtually essential in an older car such as yours, with very small and probably by now, rather dim bulbs.

For clarity pre April 1986 cars do not have to comply with above regarding fitting LED bulbs to original headlamps. I believe this exemption was due to a regulation change made at that time.

Correct Richard the law changed. Same headlight but different rules.
