LED lights on M101 trailer

[chadande]

I picked up some boxes and LED lights on eBay, painted them and bolted them to the trailer. Man is it nice not to have to screw around with the magnet lights any more!
Although I have no current need for the military lights, I thought I'd keep them just in case I find a CUCV that I just can't live without.

Looks good.

So are those boxes, manufactured by somebody. They reall look good - especially on gravel roads, its important to have the rear of the light protected, as the gravel will sand blast them to death.

Yes, they are pre-made and arrive unpainted with the holes cut out. The design of the box is sturdy and offers good protection for the lights.
The whole setup cost around $60 including wire.

Very nice and protects the lights too.

Are these wired 12 volt with different trailer wiring?

 

[chadande]

I ran new wires to the front with a standard 12v trailer connector.

I bought some of those lights also for my car trailer, nice lights

can you give details on the company in Ebay? I would like to get the same box and light setup.
thanks

I just went and got the LED lights at Tractor Supply. They came with the harness and connector. Even have a license plate holder.

You can get boxes like that from NorthernTool.com, or proabably any trucker supply site.


Looks good!

I'm planning to add some lights to my 101. I've converted the military to 12v, with a standard 7 pin RV connector on it. I know, I'm a heretic.

But I sometimes need to haul logs that hang out the back with the tailgate level, and I want some lights that will be visible in that configuration.

I use the 7 pin to military adapter and leave the correct trailer lights in place. 1 adapter for all of my trailers.

Most of the LED lights are 6-36V so you can use them with your POV and MV, just pick up the adapter plug and leave the wiring harness intact.

They look great and look OEM.
