Toggle up and down arrows in a simple accordion widget

I have followed few tutorials and then created a simple accordion widget, it works fine as you can see in this fiddle

However, I am trying to add a downward arrow when the section is closed and an upper arrow when the section is open - at the right end of the head of each tab in the accordion, just as the image below shows:

enter image description here Here is the arrows font codes:

.icon-arrowUp:before {
   content: "\f077";
}
.icon-arrowDown:before {
   content: "\f078";
}

Here is what I have tried, I added the downward arrow by default using CSS:

.accordian .accordian-head:before {
        font-family: 'icons';
        content: "\f078";
        float: right;
    }

This added the arrow nicely, however now I want it to replace that arrow with the upward one when the section is open, I have no clue what to do! I tried to add the following CSS and toggle it with JavaScript, but it didn't work:

.accordian .accordian-head .accordian-head-active:before {
        font-family: 'icons';
        content: "\f077";
        background-color: red;
    }


//Accordian
    $('.accordion').each(function () {
        var $accordian = $(this);
        $accordian.find('.accordion-head').on('click', function () {
            $accordian.find('.accordion-body').slideUp();
            if (!$(this).next().is(':visible')) {
                $(this).next().slideDown();
                $(this).addClass('accordian-head-active');
            }
        });
    });
