I am not sure what these are called. *I think they are called step lights.
From the driveway, I take three steps up to the landing that leads to the
front door. *On each side of the steps is a 32" wide 24" tall concrete
"block". *There is a pole light on top of these block, and in the front of
these blocks is a recessed rectangular light.
These lights are falling apart. *The glass were broken and I pulled the
cover plate off.

There is a piece inside that the two bulb sockets are attached to:

If I pull the piece out the inside look like this:

The wire came out of the top corner.

My question is are these lights standard? *Is it easy to find a replacement?
I am not sure which part is part of the light itself, and which part is part
of what someone might have attached to the recessed cavity to anchor the
light on to.
Is the best thing to do is to find a smaller version of this, install it
into the cavity and fill the seam with concrete? *or fill the entire cavity
with concrete and attach two * surface mount wall lights?

I think with the right kind of glass in front, it might not matter too
much how finished the inside of the cavity is. You can probably find
glass that diffuses the light and hides what's back there pretty
well. A glass shop, or a stained-glass supply shop would be able to
cut pieces to fit your frame. == H
