Try a garden tractor place, if I remember correctly, that has worked for me. Take the old lamp to show the counter person!

Back in the old days, we used to run 12 volt headlights so they wouldn't burn out. You had to have a couple of RPM to make the light bright, but when your lights were checked they were working. The theroy was if you missed a shift, no jokes please, the electrical serge wouldn't burn out the element.
