Don't think they should have 12v globes. Shouldn't they be 6v?

They did originally but the 54 has a unique bulb holder which uses a different than normal type globe, i managed to fin a pair of globes that fit the
holders in 12v so they will work with a 12 conversion, the globes alone were over $30 ea.
