My apologies to the List.  John's reply caused me to do some exploratory
surgery which revealed that on the back of the "sealed beams" around the
plug is a red rubber cover.  Removing the cover reveals to my surprise
replaceable bulbs!

I didn't notice that when I had the lights out during restoration.  I
was happy just to reassemble it without worrying about the particulars.

Now, I've got to start looking at what kinds of bulbs are available. 
Maybe some that shoot a beam 5 miles down the road.... Hmmmmmm!

Regards,
Joe
