Blackout light colors

[combatmech]

Howdy all,
Was checking the lights on the truck last night and I noticed that my rear B/O lights are different colors. One is red and the other is amber.....Just wondering....My other 09 had red all around.

Are the lights identical except for the color?

Wondering if he has a front (narrow) assembly on the rear (wide).

 

[Westech]

the rear should both be red and the front amber.

 

[Lex_Ordo]

Fronts should be two amber, making the split wine glass.
Rears are double red, (two wine glasses)
Rear stop is a single un-split amber wine glass.

Yes, the fronts are yellow. I have replacement blackout lights....I was just wondering. Several of the "cat eye" lights are out in the back......The left side only has one light that comes on...the right has two that light up.
Thanks for the info guys!!!

The 4 side slits on the rears are red, except for the center brake light is white.

Thanks again CJ, thats what I have...'cept the outer lights on the left side dont work. I have a complete kit...I just need to hook it up. Another project for the spring.

Where did you get them? My rear ones have some signs of moisure in them when they get wet, so I figure its only a matter of time.

I got them off of Ebay. Problem is...the connections are nothing like what I have. They look like a B/O light kit for a deuce. I'll figure it out when I get to that. I'd post pics of them and the difference between the two...but I put them in storage until I'm ready to install.

I bet you got the M880 lights.. there all over the place. True CUCV lights are rare as hens teeth.

I replaced one of my fronts with a M880 light, and I cut the wire off the factory B/O light and put a bullet connector to make it work. I didn't want to cut the fcatory harness, so this was the best solution I could find. I had to tie up the slack and taped it up with electrical tape.

Any way to repair the existing black out lights? I have a few out on mine as well.

 

[Westech]

No they are sealed units. I have tried to cut them apart and it just makes a mess.

 

[combatmech]

Thanks Westech. The Deuce I drove overseas had the single plug connections with the rubber boot around it. I figured thats what I'd have to do....I plan on replacing all of them.

^^^This^^^ I cut my bad one apart and was surprised how it was constructed. Definitely not serviceable!
