The tail light on both the Honda CA95 & CA160 (and maybe others) uses a standard 1157 dual contact, staggered pin base bulb. I sourced a 6V 1157 L.E.D Red bulb and simply inserted it into the original socket.

The replaceable headlight was purchased off of eBay. The Canadian lights at the time were replaceable bulb type. In the USA during the 1960's and up to the 1980's, sealed beams were law. That law has since changed.

The light purchased from eBay had to be modified. The blue wire needed a dual connection to connect to both the high beam switch and to the high beam indicator on the speedo.

The rim had to be widened a bit using a dremmel on the inside to allow it to fit to the headlight bucket. If I was to do it again, I would transfer the bulb body to an original headlight trim to avoid the fitting step.
