Thanks Bill.
After not getting a response here, I turned to Facebook. A guy with a ‘55 had good luck using a light he found on EBay, so I went this route.
No time to hook it up yet, but he did similar to you, and mounted it in the hole in the hood, as opposed to attached to the light insert itself.
