I'm curious to see if there are any of these lights still available for purchase.?
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
so how did you mount them. I discovered the same thing when I opened the box and compared it to my stock set up....I bought a pair of these ones a while ago and they came with buckets that needed to be removed. Think that's what's going on. Was just a little bit confusing when I opened the box.
I thought these came with buckets that replaced the original. I have not tried to install mine yet in my deuce but the appear to be the same 3 bolt mounting pattern, but maybe my memory is failing me. To be clear I am speaking about the Truck lite brand 07379 which is the black bucket version.Remove the housing from the new lights and they'll fit right into the old headlight buckets.
I just purchased these head lights from Ebay so it will be some time before I receive them.....http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/e...ngler-truck-lite-led-headlights/photo-02.htmlI got them installed last night, and let me tell you they are ridiculously bright !!!
Easy installation as well, I added the military rubber connectors to the new LED lights and plugged them in, done.
I need to adjust the direction of the beam today, cause now that I can actually see my headlights they are a bit too high per the TM.
Here's some pictures of them; Low Beam = only top half illuminated, High Beam = top and bottom illuminated.
Thanks again for the posting!
i bought a set from a vendor on the fleabay. I bought them on Friday and had them Monday. I'm not going to cut the plug off of the Truck-lite, I bought an H4 female plug at local auto parts retailer for $3 and will use connectors off some old MV lights I'm not using to solder to the female plug making my own adapter.I just purchased these head lights from Ebay so it will be some time before I receive them.....http://www.fourwheeler.com/how-to/e...ngler-truck-lite-led-headlights/photo-02.html
My question is where do I get the military rubber connector plugs for these at??..as I understand they do not come with them and come with the standard 3 prong plug.
I've seen the H4 to H13 adapter plug for Jeeps like this one....http://www.fortec4x4.com/Trucklite-...7-up-Jeep-Wrangler-Wrangler-Unlimited-JK.html
I'm not sure what I need so hoping to get an answer.
All the Grote LED's on our busses are garbage too. They said the taillights should last 10 years. Well they have lasted about 2 years on average ! We have warrantied so many I cannot even count how many I've replaced ! The LED markers are the same story. Now the new headlights are a different brand and seem to hold up OK so far. Don't know the brand yet.A lot of the military Grote lights are garbage. I've not had any of the headlights made by them yet though.
