Hi and welcome to this forum lots of experience here do not be afraid to ask.
I changed my headlights to ones with parking lights built in, then used the existing parking lights with orange painted lamps ( same opaque lenses)for indicators. I fitted bigger halogen lamps in the semi-sealed headlights,
For the rear I bought small twin globe orange clearance lamps hanging under the rear bar on 3 inch door hinges sideways, when showing the car I fold them up and car looks "standard" front and rear.
I used the existing indicator arm, wiring to lights went through the body.

After a late run from Sydney to Dubbo one Australia Day I found I was using more amps than the 28 amp D40 genny was making, in fact when I turned the car off a home it would not start.
So I fitted a new Sprite/Mini Lucas 40 amp alternator, that I bought on e-bay.
I just connected the two wires on the alternator then with the regulator I removed it stripped the inside out then joined the first two contacts together on the rear, join the next two on the back together and fitted a tail on the last terminal connected to the body behind.
With the "dummy'" regulator in place and the coil mounted over the alternator it looks quite standard,
