I would rewire it myself if everything is accessible, otherwise maybe get new headlights, got myself some new one from DEPO.

the depot headlights have been great for me and wayyyyy less than replacement stock ones cost.
Pros: great performance, less cost
I’ve finally pulled the trigger on getting the original US Sealed Beam headlights swapped out for some new Euro/WW Composite glass-lens units. The install was super smooth and straightforward. I found a pair of new DEPO headlights on eBay. The new DEPOs came with a janky headlight wiring adapter but, I opted for a OEM-quality install with 2 new 6-pin headlight connectors. The headlights have full functionality including the W3W City Lights which I soldered in.
Pros: smooth install, full functionality
Cons: janky wiring adapter
I have had DEPO lights on other cars, they are fine replacements, espcially for an older car.
Pros: fine replacements
that Depo crap isn't worth the work
Cons: not worth effort, poor quality

don't spray ANY harsh cleaner on those Depo's. Soap and water only and make sure you put some kind of UV protectant after every wash. Depos are good until they aren't, you can search this on the GXOR main group page on FB to see what happens 8-12 months with Depo bc they use the cheapest and thinnest lenses which will yellow and get stress cracks from the sun and heat if you don't care for them. Don't let the honeymoon phase fool you, there is a reason why Depo's are significantly cheaper than OEM NOS. I had the same sport depo's on my 470, and after 2yrs they were trashed.
Cons: yellowing, stress cracks

Installed new depo sport headlights. Makes the front end look so much better than old faded ones.
Pros: improved aesthetics
Bought DEPO oem ones off rock auto and they are great
Pros: great quality
Just search for e-code headlights. I have Depo and they're fine, but not as nice as OEM Valeo.
Pros: fine quality
Cons: not as nice as OEM
So I just bought some depo headlights to upgrade form my foggy oem ones. Went for a drive and the low beams seem decently placed, maybe a little high but somewhat dim output. The high beams unfortunately are in the trees and absolutely useless. I’ve used the adjustment screw on the back and I’ve run out of adjustment to bring them down. Photos added for detail. Not sure what to do at this point, disappointed to have spent 400 on lights that might not work out.
Pros: low beams decently placed
Cons: dim output, high beams useless, run out of adjustment
