HMMWV Grote LEd lights don't fit housings

[Hollywuds]

Maybe this has been covered, but I can't find it. I bought some Grote LED front turn signals. The top and both bottom holes line up, but not the other 2. Does anybody know which brand housings that I need?

Metal if you are talking about the buckets.

The headlight buckets are standard military pattern and mount on 3 rubber anti-vibration mounts. The inner headlight carrier is mounted on 3 spring brackets so they can be aligned and the front retaining ring is also a 3 hole mount but be aware, they aren't equally spaced and will only fit oriented one way.

Grote uses a specific bucket for their LED turnsignals that has a different hole pattern than standard buckets. Their LED taillights use standard buckets. The Grote turnsignal buckets are plastic and are a bit difficult to find. They'll say "Grote" on the back and mention "10-34v".

This is what is partially visible on the back of my Grote buckets while mounted on an M923. I bought the lights with buckets but it took months to find another pair of buckets for spares.

The original cast metal ones worked for me with Grote. You just need to find the older metal ones instead of the stock plastic unless they are the specific Grote or Truck lite ones.

That's interesting because the original buckets on my truck were metal and were wrong. I also tried another metal set that came off a Husky route clearance vehicle thinking that they would be newer. They were also wrong. I would much prefer metal buckets...

Let me see if I can find a part number. Mine came with metal buckets and metal frame lens. It was bolt on for me.

A friend of mine had one of those aluminum ones and it worked. Now I guess I just need to find one more

There has been so much to this, so many different threads, someone needs to create a sticky. One of those tl;dr things to me almost. I've seen that you have to replace the turn signal bulb with an LED as well.
