My main source is The Lighthouse Directory that you already know.
Talking about French lighthouses, my second best source is Les Phares de France which provides detailed information, historical background and drawings for most lighthouses, included the ones no longer in place.
Wikipedia articles on single lighthouses often provide good quality pictures and rough world coordinates. The quality of the articles themselves varies, but sometimes you can get from there information not found elsewhere.
openseamap.org, that you also know, is a great tool for locating small and/or little known lighthouses and beacons, whose exact position is not clear from other sources.

Sure, that was the initial plan

I made every effort to only include the lighthouses and beacons that are known to have been in place during WWII. I might have done some mistakes though. Moreover, in case of doubt on the building or demolition dates of certain lighthouses, I often decided to list them anyway, postponig to a second moment the decision whether to include them or not in our mod.
Talking more specifically about the Phare de la Petite-Foule or Grand Phare de l'île d'Yeu, if that's what you meant in your example, the current lighthouse was built in 1950, but before and during WWII there was another lighthouse in the same station, built in 1830 and destroyed by the nazists on 25 August 1944

Okay, I will give it low priority then but I think I will update in anyway and make it available in case anyone else might need it. Great discovery on the constant terrain / unit coordinate offset btw

I got you now, but don't worry, the effect will be even nicer after separating eaves and railings from the current tower-top model, and making them destroyable

Btw: if you have no other remarks, I think the damaged tower model is ready:

While working on those broken/bent rebar rods, I have discovered an important exception to the second law of thermodinamics: no matter if, given an ordered system, its entropy naturally tends to increase over time; simulating its effects requires a lot of work anyway lol
