Took your advice Chief1900 and polished them.........al I can say is WOW! Thanks for the tip, works a whole lot better than using Brasso too.
I recently gathered together all of the lights I wanted to use. I am replacing the original taillight asemblies with the Harbor Frieght units. They fit...
Thats what I'm looking for! Something with a single bulb or something so that I can gut the receptacle of each fender mounted turn signal and install one of those clearance lights without the lens. The turn signals on the fender have cone shaped lenses and for the sake of keeping things original...
I would acually opt for thos or if they just sold the lens and it fit then I'd use my old buckets. I really wanted to get away from the incandescent bulbs because they just dont seem to pierce the darkness in rain and stormy weather like the LED's do and this truck will get allot of roadtime...
Crud...so I may be rewiring my harness for these I guess. That's cool and not hard to do, I will just cut the negative wires and run a + 12V lead to the lighting circuit in the fuse box and then that ought to cover the whole thing I think (unless you think the + ground to the frame at the batt's...
Ah, I see where I will run into problems with this now :? I know what you mean about the angle of the lights now, I recall overhearing something about this concerning these bulbs froma customer that was purchasing them at AutoZone. Would they make good headlights though?????
Gotcha boss! 8) So do I need to look into finding a resistor to wire into them? If so would you have an idea of what voltage? As it they are now, it's 12V to the socket, would this resistor help with with the brights?
Do you reckon they will work on a positive ground system too? Hmmmm :?
Re: RE: Have any of y
So have they been fairly reliable David or have they ever given you any trouble?
These are an almost exact overall size to size match to the original Czech lights I have now so it would be a perfect swap! 8)
Sweet I remember when you first posted that conversion Bjorn. What is the purpose of the circuit board in the back though? I don't seem to recall seeing one of these when I last handled those LED's from Harbor Frieght????
I also did some digging around at AutoZone today and found these bulbs...
RE: Have any of y
Nah you may just not specialize in that area, thats all! :wink: Thanks for the reply and I hate those super bright lights too! I think the projector beams are what you mean cause Halogens are often times OEM equipment. I in fact had one of those little speed racer rice...

I'm thinking about scrapping the originals because it seems no amount of buffing or polishing with Brasso will clear them up and also because LED is so much brighter and when I'm running the roads during hurricanes God...
