Re: headlight conversion

I would be inclined to take similar photos of the headlights fitted to your van and see if mountings match up or how much modifying you'll need to do............
Also with the light and indicator being of a different orientation check the plug or plugs on loom for possible mismatch

The wings are the same part so the lights should fit. As for the bulb connectors, get the wiring from the breakers  so if its different  you will have it. I think the new lights will foul the old grille so some hacking away may be needed.

Re: headlight conversion

I have both versions, and its not a direct swap.
The plastic grill need changing, maybe the hood as well. And the metall cross member that hold the radiator and grill. As the radiator is different you will probably need to do adapters there to.
