I'm not sure is if they do a replacement panel with the low lights?

I'm pretty sure in fact they don't unless someone else knows of anyone!

VW heritage do the lower panel to take the low lights and blanking plates for the high indicator holes.

you get a late panel then have to weld a bottom section in that has low indicators. next you weld up the high indicators with the blanking plate and put the grill conversion in.

Also you'll have to source some clipped out indicator brackets and weld them in behind the new lower panel, or fabricate some as the Heritage panel doesn't come with them. It is a job worth doing, I hate to see a early that has been converted to hi lights. It'll end up looking like this....
