Although I'm not a spotlight person, my guess would be if you have two wires, one is ground and one is power.
If the wires are long enough, stick one on each battery post. It won't make any difference which wire goes where...it should illuminate if the lamp is good and the switch is ON.

You'll probably find there are a couple sweet spots on the spot as you rotate it due to corrosion & hardened lubricants inside the pivots, but for the most part they were fairly hard to kill. Just takes some time & work to clean em up & get them goin again.
1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber" 2007 Chevy Avalanche 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, 2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
