Any problems with 6v sealed beams and bulbs is usualy due to poor electrical connections. Poor grounding at the lite and back thru the body ground straps.

Also keep in mind that most modern day 6v electrical components are MODERN REPRODUCTION parts that may not meet OEM specs.

There are very few mechanics that know how to clean electrical connexions. Just because they are clean to the touch or show no significant or conspicuous corrosion does not mean that the connexions are good.

SPECIFICALLY: Electrical connectors MUST BE SCRAPED with a knife blade OR FILED to a BRIGHT SHINY VIRGIN METAL appearence!!

Use serrated tooth (shake proof) washers under any type of connector that is intalled with a screw.
