My M109a3 going 100% LED

[Darwin T]

Has anyone checked out or purchased lights from Trucklite Military LED Lamps - Truck Lite???
There prices don't seem to crazy and looks like direct replacement

it is a direct replacement, but, make sure you get the 24 volt stuff. 2 of my decues have LED Headlights, 2 have LED Front turn signals, all 3 have Rear LED Tailllights. my M109a3 has all the interior lights LED and the License Plate Light is LED. when i take the dash panel from the first page (of this post) off i am going to paint the back glossy white and move it to one of my M35a2's. the other one has the old style dash and it will not fit on that one. they make all the difference. i drove my M35a2 with the LED headlight to Fort Polk, LA monday to pick up my New M105a2 for that truck. it was heavy rain and overcast all day. i don't think the old lights would have helped me, just the people coming at me.


PS. i bought some of my stuff from that company but unless you are in a hurry keep an eye out for sales and auctions, you can get a better deal sometimes.

Ok well the only 24volt headlights they have are over $400!! And thats for a single 7 inch light without bucket... I've heard of some guys getting the headlight pair for that price, any ideas where?

From time to time you will find them on fleabay. I just picked up a set for under 300

from time to time you can get a good deal on the LED rear tail lights and LED front turn signals on there also. i have seen the tan tail lights for $25.00 each last year and black turn signals for $75.00 in the past few months (i bought 4).

Hi, Great Looking setup Darwin! On the Dash Lights, where did you get your colored replacement light covers??? I need some of those as mine were painted over, and they need replacing. Thanks!!!

 

[Commander5993]

Oh, and where did you get the new instrument panel id labels?

 

[Darwin T]

Ebay on both. i check the web everyday or two looking for stuff i might need. with 3 deuces and an M1028a2/3 i need to get parts while i have money and it available. i think i got some at www.saturnsurplus.com also.

i will try to find the bulb # for the ones i used in the cab. i used the same LED bulb in everything in the cab, even though there were several different regular bulbs. as for the tail lights and stop lights i replaced the whole light with an LED light. if you search the web for LED and the bulb # you need you should be able to find several places that sell them. they come in 12 and 24 volt so watch out.

if you want to keep your composite light but upgrade to LEDs saturn surlpus has the kit for you. under lights and reflectors "28V Composit Light LED Upgrade Kit " keep it looking old school but be high tech. check it out before you buy it just incase i am wrong, again. i just replace the whole thing on mine.

would this still be considered 100% LED or somewhere around 125% LED.

Did you find an LED bulb for the stock tail lights? I have back up lights on my truck, and they use the same bulb as the stock rear lights.

If anyone is looking for a set of the LED headlights let me know, I have a friend with one pair left.

Anyone? Would like to convert the stock tail lights and clearance lights on my trailers, but would like to try just replacement bulbs.

I am liking how you did the New front add-on lights. My question is, is where did you get all the parts needed for them? Are they fabbed up, from something else, etc...? Thanx in advance and glad to see this thread brought back to life. Sheds new "Light",,,lol.

Go to superbrightleds.com they can get just about any bulb needed. Prices seem reasonable also.
