M998 dome light suggestions

[Mario]

Check "Those Military Guys" as well as e-pay. Under M series dome lights.

Will do.

I also ordered some 24V RGB LED strip lights to see if I like the red, blue or some other color in there.

Have any of you wired the dome to the existing light control box?
I was thinking of wiring my future dome into the high inside light selection of the main light control box (the 3 lever one -- whatever it's called).

Nothing that I can see or feel......It is the first one I've ever seen...It appeared to be hard wired to one of the 12V battery's terminal (they disconnected it when GP put in new batteries for me to take possession) .....the wire comes off the light assy. an is routed via inside the "B" pillar......I was thinking it was a Kansas NG Mod that was applied through out that Guard's vehicles....Some one with more knowledge could share some info.....interesting......and to my surprise it works......

Do you have a part number off that guy? I believe my HMMWV has that hole pattern drilled out, but no light was there. Would be neat for a bolt-on installation since someone else did the work.

I believe that light is off an ambulance box.

I ran my electrical inside a 1/4" diameter air hose and used hose clamps to secure the hose to the pillars. I like that this light has the additional button needed to move the switch to the "white" selection.

Question; so in this configuration is the low level blue-ish light on during normal operations (I presume except during blackout mode) and the bright white light comes on with the unit mounted switch?

Guys, what's the item called? I searched fleabay from "MRAP map light" , dome light and few others and I'm not coming up with anything.
There is a chance that there aren't any for sale now...

Never mind, searched for "MILITARY DOME LIGHT" and came up with a bunch of hits.

Normal operation, nothing is on. move the switch one way, you get the blue light. Push button and move switch the other way, you get the white light.

Got it.
So dome light is not tied into vehicle's lighting infrastructure at all.

correct. You just supply 24 vdc to the fixture and tie a ground wire to the case of the fixture. The light has its own switch. I suppose like an above post suggested you could take the 24 vdc supply off of the wire coming off the main light switch. Presumably you would take it off of the bright interior light lead. this would allow the dome light only to work when the bright interior panel light switch position was engaged.

I opted to take 24 supply from horn circuit. It is very accessible, as you just splice into the correct wire at the horn (very easy to get to). the horn circuit has 24 volt going to the horn and the switch happens on the ground side of the circuit.

Thosemilitaryguys have a nice overhead console for the humvee, it's a little spendy but it has a dome light 24 to 12 volt converter, speakers and an amplifier that takes sd cards. A couple of extra toggle switches and breakers.

I saw that. I would like to know what kind of amplifier they're using before dropping that kind of cash

I notice that the newer LED models have a connection on each end. Can they be daisy chained together with only 1 connected to the battery? Also, anyone know where to get the cable?
