What have you done to your HMMWV today/lately

[Mattguy]

Mattguy- Looks factory which is absolutely my preference. What did the project end up costing you? Is there any issue finding 24v h4?

It's way cheaper than led complete lights. And looks just like stock. I went with cheap hella knockoffs that didn't fit then purchased the real deal. $35 a piece from Amazon.

HELLA 002395031 HLMP 7" 165MM H4 ECE,2395031 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005OULUQO/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_ET1DACXFCW0X5QN4F5WG?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Any h4 led bulb will work, all you need is h4 pigtails to match up with the factory wiring. You can cut wires off old bulbs!

In the listing for led h4's they will show you voltage range. I used these and they are perfect and cheap.

Pretty affordable awesome option!

Added some new dash indicators because the marines painted over the old ones and it looked like crap. And yes the sideways indicator is STILL better than what it was before.

I tried to tell the sideways led epay seller that the light is not for hmmwv. They disagreed with my opinion. Now you see why it isnt fir hmmwv.

I knew it wasn’t. I bought it because it was the only one on eBay and I knew it’ll work. My old one had the words painted over anyways. Sideways or no words at all. This will work for now. The wait light was much MUCH more difficult to get out.

It's for hard braking and coming to a stop sideways, CAMO

Rookie question that I put in minimal, unsuccessful effort to figure out….

What’s the MGC button? I don’t have that on my 1165.

So you can use the glow/start the truck without the PCB box being involved?

Everything works as normal. Glow plugs are now my responsibility instead of a dumb box. Great solution.

Started fitting new seats on the truck today.

Where did you get the glow plug indicator light. I have the same box from camo and now "wait" doesn't seem appropriate.

Wire leads are too short so make them longer before you take your whole dash apart.

Humvee MD front guard installed. Had to change frame brackets to fit.

New fuel filter. Ended up replacing every hose connected to the separator. You wouldn’t believe what 10+ years in Yermo weather would do to rubber.

The occasional severe fuel leaks in driveway indicate otherwise.

Caactus, I’m late to the party here and I haven’t caught up. ( If I’m asking a dumb question, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking with it!) You sure the IP isn’t leaking. ?

Or a leaky hose that's not tight, I actually fixed that today on mines

I’ve had a few hoses split before or after the filter. OR the clamps got loose. Plus a pesky fuel drip when I filled it up all the way that turned out to be a really loose connection at the tank. Still smells a little diesel-ly in the cab but Arizona is blessed by windows open (or doors off) weather most of the year.
