Mini Light Kit Instructions and TIRES

[jonesal]

I see someone in 2008 asked for the instructions (drawings sheet 19207-12301024 ) for the mini light kit. It was never posted. Does anyone have one now they are willing to share? I have the kit pieced together but no instructions... I'm sure I can figure it out, but I'm just curious.

I'm also looking for stock 9.00 x 20 nondirectional tires in eastern South Dakota or western Minnesota. Any leads are appreciated via a PM. I will post a classified when my count gets to 100...

Thank you,

what does a mini light kit look like? i have no idea what that is.

Here's a pic I stole off the net. The kit I "made" consisted of the lights, clamps etc. from vendors but I had to make the brackets based on other mounted pics from this site and others. The round lights I found already had the brackets. The marker brakets are easy to make. It would be interesting to see what the instructions say about routing of the wires and such. The wiring itself is simple.

What I can't figure out are why are the lollipop (two way) ones red when they go in the front of the vehicle? Shouldn't they be yellow or is this something connected to NATO? The current plan is yellow.

If you look close at the lollipop lights you'll see that they are amber and red, they just happen to have the red lenses facing up in the picture.

The red lens would face back so that a vehicle in the next lane would see if you had your signal on or not.

The lollipop lights are one sided and face to the rear.

I've seen the lollipop lights both ways. Well more than that red only front or rear or both. Yellow front or rear or both. And last yellow to the front and red to the rear. I think the last is right. In the field I think it depended on what they had and who put it on. And who supplied the lollipop light.

On a side note I do not think you are supost to have a rear facing red light that far forward on a truck/trailer. Most mid monted trun signals are yellow.

Thanks for the clarification. The parts book does say the correct one is two way fronts, but does not break down the lenses. So the red/yellow makes more sense now. The ones I found are one way yellow. Gets me half way there!

Thanks,
Allen

Parts List Drawing

The installation drawing for the Mini Light Kit is TACOM 19207-12301024 which I have never been able to find (can someone post it?). Attached is the parts list drawing 19207-12301023 for the Mini Light Kit.
I used the parts manual TM9-2320-361-20P page 324-1 under Group 33 Special Purpose Kits as the best info I could get on what goes where. The quantity and part numbers in the manual match the list in the attached parts drawing. Unfortunately exact locations and wire routing are not shown in the parts book.
The red/amber light that goes on the lollipop has the red facing the rear and the amber facing front. The red/amber lamp assembly is the correct part as verified by the attached drawing and the parts manual.
The rectangular brackets with the one "ear" folded (-1 and -2 parts)holds the amber side lamp that goes on the front lamp assembly.
The other bracket with the "L" bend at the top holds the red side marker and it goes on the bottom of the bed near the rear of the truck (one each side).
The other two brackets with the single bend at the top are used in the 5-ton installation.
