Yes, I do have a method of rebuilding the sealed beam pancake lights to allow one to reuse the old lenses/reflectors. I will describe it here, I am also planning to put together a tech article with pictures on Farmall Cub Dot Com this spring when the weather warms up in the shop.
What I do if take the old lens and carefully pry it from the old reflector. Then unsolder the original bulb holder and remove it. Go to Autozone or the like and get a two prong metal bulb holder and solder it in. Also solder on a short bit of bare wire for the ground to the back somewhere. Then simply paint the reflector with silver paint, clean the old lens with 0000 steel wool and RTV the lens back on the modified reflector. I then crimp on a small bare ring terminal to ground the reflector to the housing. When you get done, it looks 95% factory. Only thing that isn't right is the missing screw terminal on the back of the housing.
