Well, now that there are detailed pictures, could some knowledgeable person give some advice as to how I could properly and safely wire these two 12v bulbs into the circuitry?  Obviously connecting the wires through the spring connections was a bad idea, but the path of the electricity seemed to work.  As Vernon said, it was a sloppy job and a risky experiment.  Where else, properly heat wrapped and insulated, could these connections go to safely provide the same power?

They could go to those connections- hopefully soldered.  That said, I'm thinking based on labeling that was front directional headlight powered by the R2LC headlight output. Maybe that was your intent- cab interior lights based on direction. That's fine- otherwise, tap into constant power.

I think a road too far would be using the R2LC smoke output and then changing the type code to one with interior light control.

Again, 97% of the comment was concern of your wiring shorting out, where you connected it to is one possible option and obviously worked.
