If you take the adjusting clamp off, you should be able to dismantle the column enough to get the wire correctly routed. It can be a pig of a job but it shouldn't take too long if you have the right tools to hand. I had to buy a set of pin punches so I could get the pin out. Once the pin is out, the clamp can be easily removed for access to the steering column where the wires are routed. If you're worried about the indicator stalk burning out again then fit relays to the headlights. It is worth doing even if you stick with the sealed beam units. Some contact cleaner might help as well.
