GH,
That's actually a Bob Olds light kit, he was a Pre-Duckworks garage business RV4 builder in the 1990's. There are many Fours out there sporting his lights.
The beauty of his light was automotive headlight replacement at Walmart, simple installation and low cost.
My RV4 is equipped with an Olds light kit and Bob kindly gave me the last 6 lenses he had in stock when he closed his business right after 9/11.

The replacement ideas posted above are excellent, you might add LED headlight R&R Lamps to the list, link below.
I can look around and see if I can find you a new lens if you need one. I gave a new one to the current owner of my RV4 The Bandit...

That was a couple of years ago and I suspect LED's have come a long way since then.

If any of the LED vendors read this, please email me, I would very much like to do this test at our un-lit country strip. [bill (at) repucci (dot) com]
Bill,
You may want to do a post search.
I swapped for LED, and love them.
I included part numbers etc.
