I have a 2003DLE with the 1156 bulb. I was thinking that the newer light enclosures for the 2005 Ariens models, could be installed along with the halogen light bulb.
I have a professional 12v spotlight with a 1million candlepower bulb. The bulb holder and case is ceramic and metal . No plastic. The entire unit is mostly metal and glass and can run underwater ("o" rings). There are cooling fins around the outside of the spotlight.
I find it hard to believe that plastic will not melt.

The lens/reflector housing on your unit will not handle halogen bulb heat.
If you want a halogen bulb, you'll need replace the lens/reflector housing and bulb from a current model. You'll also need a new wire harness (or you'll need to gather the proper connectors and make a harness adapter; the plug is different).
