There are lens reflector units that take H4 bulbs, they can be 6V(many voltages and wattages in H4 bulbs), would be direct fit --no modifications in place of seal beam

But what does it take to power them? Is there enough generator output?

Your best bet is to clean up what you have for starters. Make use all the connections are clean and tight, especially the grounds. Adding additional grounds is a fairly cheap why to improve current flow.
