Those are much beefier than the originals. I put a set on my M818 last March.
The kits are for good for M809 and M39-series 5-tons also.

Finished the LED light bar. 300 watts very bright!!!!
Changed out my governor, PPV and one check valve that is just ahead of the air dryer. Everything is working good now. No air dryer over pressurizing.
Installed a flaming river battery cutoff switch with lock.

Daily driver...... if only the place I work had the parking space. We already have people parking down the street going to our building.
But the boss man does want me to dive it to work so he can see it... even said he would pay for the fuel.

Added 4 more LED's on the back of the truck. Also added a lighted license plate bracket. Will upload pictures as soon as it is dark and they come out.

Pics as promised...
The lighted license plate bracket works fairly well as best I can tell with the big security light right behind me. The LED's look pretty good on the back of the truck in my personal opinion. I have four more lights to wire up on the front of the truck mounted to the gun ring posts (no I don't have a gun ring, but I am kicking a few ideas around with help from a friend). Once those are wired up I will look for some sort of extra lighting for the front of the truck. One of the other electrical items I want to do is some kind of lighting in the bed. When it gets dark with a cargo cover on the bed it's hard to see what you are doing.

I have a dome light in the cab which is part of my overhead console I bought from Those Military Guys. Although something like an armored dome light (which I know some are for sale in the classifieds) might work for what I want in the bed. I want something to give a little bit of light in the bed but not so bright it's blinding.
