1977 Headlamp conversion

I need to fit UK spec headlamps on my US Import 77 911S
It seems I can either replace the existing sealed beam units and fit a white lens on the existing side light in the bumper.....does anyone make a white lens to fit?
Alternatively I can replace the sealed beam units with a headlamp with a side light built in, and rewire the side lamps up to the headlamp.
However it looks as if I am trying to retain the Hella headlamp bowl most aftermarket 7" headlamps with side light would hit/foul the bowl
What have you all done as I'm sure I'm not the first to come across this issue and any links would be appreciated
I'm not too concerned if the solution is not original
I can cross that bridge later
Ta...

I got some 7" sealed beams, think they were mini ones. Then put a clear lens over the top. Or you can go the whole hog and replace everything for euro H4 units.

Euro H4's look much better than the US sugar scoops
