I got mine at a NAPA auto parts store.  I don't recall the number, but 
it's 
stamped on the brass base, and it was a standard number according to the 
counterman.  I think I paid a buck and a half or two bucks each, something 
in 
that range.

Yes, the lights have to float above chassis ground to maintain battery 
pack 
isolation from ground.

Maybe, but whether it's worth pursuing depends on how often you use the 
lights and whether you find the current ones suitable.  They work fine for 
me 
most of the time, though once in a while I'd like to have something rather 
brighter - though not in quite the way yours brightened up (ouch).  Thanks 
for 
the warning.
