Headlights are foggy old, with dust and unfortunately already loosing some of the reflector chrome plating, one of the turn signals has broken amber lenses and one of the cornering lights is very damaged. Took care of it the best way I could, before I can replace all the parts. Here on the fenders you can have a clue of its original second color (yellowish gray) that was covered with blue at some point in its life.

Front turn signals before and after cleaning.

Notice one of the front turn signals missing a big part of the amber lens.

Washed the front grill very carefully, as I want to keep it chromed if possible. If not, I will try to keep at least its "eyebrow" chromed to contrast with some dark gray on the grill.

Aussies are probably too used to the Patrol looks to think of it, but the front end looks darn mean in my opinion! It is a mean looking car!

Gave the front end lights a good wash. Notice here one of the corner lights missing some part.

This is how it turned out, for the moment:

Front lighting updates:
For headlights, I got these LED ones with DRL from AliExpress:

For turn signals, on a work trip to Argentina, I was able to score these:

For the cornering lights, the only thing I was able to do so far was to make up for the missing part with resin. Not that good, I must admit, but I left extra material to be sanded once the car is painted and then will paint the surroudings with a similar gray color. I hope that it looks a bit better after that of if I can hopefully be able to find new ones for an affordable price.
