Blackout light PLUG

[aceventura2225]

Anybody have a plug for a blackout light (the one that is hardwired into the truck). my m1008 doesnt have one and im not sure if i can cut the plug on a blackout light and hardwire it. Its the male end i need. its the one that is on the truck side. Any other ideas on how to wire up a blackout light since i dont have this plug?

If you are talking about the blackout driving light in the grill I think it is hardwired in..No plug..Now if you are talking about the blackout lights in the bumper thats a different story..The front and rear have different plugs since the rear has marker lights and brake light in them..Which one are you needing?

i need the one for the grill. i see a blackout light on ebay that has a female end plug in which you would plug it in from the truck.

Here are images to refer to, the driving light and the, presumibly, missing connector.
Hope it clears things up.

That pic isn't the style light on the CUCV..The one on the CUCV is just 2 piece and all plastic..I found a pic in the Unit Maintenance manual in the lighting section..It does show a plug but I'm not sure what type plug it is..

The plug looks alot like the standard GM waterproof connectors all throughout the truck.

what kind of plug do i need to wire upto the blackout light shown. Or can i cut that plug off the light and hardwire it? my truck doesnt have the plug that would fit into the plug shown.

If your lookin to be "correct"... That light requires plug PN MS27142-2 listed on my site here... http://www.odiron.com/store/index.php?cPath=28_85

The CUCV doesnt use the standard rubber mil connectors. it uses the same ones GM civy trucks use.

No, it uses the plastic GM weathertight connectors....

Of course, you can. If there is no other wire coming out of the unit, then the case must be grounded via the mounting bolt.
