LED bulbs for older lighting

Anyone who is an electonics person with amps and volts out there. Wondering if there is a way to update some old lighting that I have had since 89/90. The front light takes a Halogen Bulb that is 2.5V - 0.5A. The rear is a small screw in style that is 2.5v and 0.3amp. Is there a way to get a brighter bulb like an LED? I'm getting new lights for the road bike, but If these can keep on going, why not use em. They are ok as is, but if they can be improved, i'm all for trying it.



In case anyone remembers them, heres the old lights.



Front bulb image from Cateye, they don't show parts for the rear light since its so old.
