Got these headlamps from here. They also to the bowls etc.

Headlights are very good, have used them for over a year without problem. Straight wired to original switch (should probably go via relay - but working ok);

That's strange R2, the damage doesn't look so bad from here!

Series 2 lights mount on painted plinths and are not handed, its the plinths which are. Early Minor 1000s had a bigger handed chrome base and didn't need a mounting plinth. No reason why you can't use the early 1000 type on a Series 2 - many do and few would notice the subtle difference!
