I would be grateful for advice regarding which indicator bulbs to fit on LHD light housings ? Seems to be dual bulb fixture on front housings but single on rears ?

I suspect it depends per region. Mine has US lights which have yellow or red sidelights to the side and I think I'll be pulling it all out and wiring new but I assume this is different on Euro LHD models. I'm guessing though tbh.

On previous earlier 911's that I imported from the US I used to rewire the sidelights at the front up to a pilot light in the new RHD H4 headlamps I fitted so that then only the 21w element (for the indicator) in the dual filament bulb was used.
I removed/discarded the small outer bulbs (parking lights).
I also used to change the front lenses to the 'Euro' version as I preferred the look.

FWIW I removed the sugar scoops and fitted H1's in my US car. H1's have no integral sidelight, so I bought new indicator lenses with the integral white sidelight to the front and will wire independent indicators and sidelights in the lower unit. However for the time being I just drive it as it came - with yellow sidelights and the brighter indicator filament. Additionally, I believe the segments of the sidelight/indicator unit aren't separated out the same way in a US unit so light spills from one segment to the next. You may have to add a divider.
