If you find you cannot modify them can I have them?

yes if I find that I can't.

by the way good looking M1009 you have.

I've taken the BO lights apart and replaced one of the rears with leds. It is not easy the hard part is removing the back to get to the solder points because the backing is an epoxy and I had to break it apart. You will find the 4 red led's are on one circuit and the yellow is on it's own.
I don't have picture, sorry.

Thank you.

I just received my GL title last friday and took it for the missouri inspection today. It passed and now is titled and tagged (street legal woohoo). It is in pretty good shape, I want to clean it up and CARC it in the new pattern. It came from the MONG and I would like to maintain it just as if it were still in service.

Question:

I have 1 rear blackout light that's noticeably dimmer than the other. I didn't think LED's would really get dim, but then again these are some old LED's made before I even knew LED's existed.

Is it normal for them to go dim and if so do I just need to replace them, or may something else be wrong?

I didn't know what the blackout light where so I was going to make them Emergency flashing lights for our fire truck. I have not seen any work on any of the trucks we have gone thought.

If one side is dim check your wiring and grounds, most likely a poor ground.

I was walking through Wally world and saw some lights that would work great for your emergency flashers, they are red leds for trailers and looks like it just might fit in the bo light holes. The bo lights are 12v so this should be an easy wire in.
