Hi Mick,
If the insides that hold the bulbs are rusted away an LED replacement insert for a "magnalite" flashlight will fit in quite nicely. I found some tiny connectors off an old computer hard drive fitted exactly over the two prongs on the insert. Wires could be soldered to them but keep the heat from getting to the LED's . Lens's cut from a diffuser cover from a flourescent ceiling light worked well.
Wire a 1watt 100R resistor between the led and ground if it is a 6 volt system. Polarity is important. If it doesn't work
swap the leads around.
Some gasket sealer will keep the dust and water out.
Cheers,
