I don't know how well the new aftermarket headlight reflectors hold up. When looking for used reflectors, the earlier ones seem to be less prone to corrosion than the later ones. The reflectors on my 1990 were very corroded, and I replaced them with reflectors off a 1981 model, which were still fine despite over 30 years in tropical Cairns. They were just a little dusty, suggesting the seal wasn't perfect.
I don't know what year the rectangular headlights were introduced -- 1981 must be near the beginning?
