Ah-hah! That's the curs--er, um, fun part of working with these old machines.
Is there an ammeter somewhere? If so how is it mounted? What do you have for an on-off switcvh for the ignition> Is there room there somewhere to add a simple toggle switch? If so, I can direct you to some drawings (courtesy of Bob M) that you could adapt to get some basic lighting going, though it will be a little challenging to get bright and dim going.
The original set-up would have been a racetrack-oval-shaped box mounted a little below halfway up the vertical part of the steering wheel support. In the upper half was the ammeter and below it the 3- or 4-position switch I spoke of earlier.
If you don't have an ammeter, then we'll need to figure out what you do have to figure where we could draw power and put in a switch for your lights. That or find an original or reproduction panel, or fabricate something that would hold an ammeter and switch to get you back to something near the sort-of-generally-accepted version of a 12v conversion that would make any future troubleshooting easier to work with. (I think that makes sense????)
