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
