Pigtails for sealed beam headlights..

[GHall]

I recently ordered wagner 28v sealed beam headlights from the local parts house for my M932A1. They don't come with the military style pigtails and the pigtails on the origional units are soldered on. I searched around a little bit and found universal pigtails for sealed beams that SHOULD plug right onto the new lights from JEGS and ordered a pair. I havn't recieved them, have not test fitted them and am not positive if they work yet. I will report my findings as soon as I recieve them.

I hope it's ok to post this link, just trying to help out..

Do the 900 series have that style pigtail? I would have thought they would be the same as a deuces???

Those will work fine. Also almost all auto parts stores have those in stock.

I guess they're different, I've never seen a deuce pigtail before. My truck has 3 seperate wires.

That's what I thought. Just remove the old pigtails and resoldier. I've done a set and its very easy.

If you don't want to solder the military plugs to the new headlight, just splice them to the H4 pigtail you posted. It is available just about anywhere.

Did that on a M715 with the same light.

Warthog is correct and the easiest fix. Use the same wires with the wire tags in the same position as the old bulb on the new bulb and you will be fine using the universal 3 prong sealed beam pigtail connecting to the bucket with the packard connectors.

Yes sir, thats what I figured.. I'd rather solder once then plug and play next time one goes out.

HMMWV's, 800, 900, HEMTT, M35's all use the same lightbulbs with the 3 wires.

This is what confused me, by "that" I think hndrsonj was asking if the M939 series came with the plug and I didn't understand what he was asking at the time because In post #1 I had spoke of the military pigtails and how they were soldered to the leads on the bulb (on my truck) so I thought he was asking about those.
