Since we are on the topic…..

my truck came with these headlights from the auction.
Anyone know if they are heated? They are LED and stock from the military.

Wish I had a definite answer. Trucklite seems to be their default on a lot of LED's.

Best answer might be to unscrew those three screws on the trim-ring and see if there is a part number on the light - Maybe?
The heated lights that I have (not my headlights) appear to have a heat sink on the back of the bulb housing - made by TruckLite.

Doug,

I can't tell by looking at the picture, but if you look closely at the front lens, you should be able to see very fine wires (like a rear window defroster) applied to it. The heating is done by current flowed through the wire matrix just like the rear window version. The wires are readily visible if you have them. Mine do, but I'm away right now and can't take a pic for you. Mine are different models, but the idea would be the same.

I want mine to be a Fire Fighting Rig at this point. Just put another 250 Gal Tank on the back now have 700 gallons total or 5,600 lbs of water to work with. Pump one dry go to the other. I can keep one real full for travel this way transferring water. No sag in the Bed I can see lots of room on the over load bumpers too. Set up my Boom in a way I can easily add a 1" Sprinkler Cannon on it 13 ft off the ground to wet down a large area. I will be testing it today coming in the mail soon. Just might rip near here today there issuing lots of Evac Notices near us. Boom worked great to load the Tank in the back by myself. 50+ Feet out from the truck 100+ Ft Full Circle happy with it. Easy to remove to and fold the boom away.DSCF7057.JPGDSCF7075.JPGDSCF7078.JPGDSCF7077.JPGDSCF7065.JPG
