OD Work Lights

Found a couple of OD work lights on eBay a few months ago I wanted to refurbish and install on the Deuce. Not difficult to do, but since you Guys like pictures so much, I thought I'd share my efforts. The light will turn around 180* for changing a tire at night, I'm going to do the same thing on the passenger side.

Good luck with them but the vibration should be a killer out on the mirror arms. Wayne
Didn't think about the vibration....at low idle they move a little, but smooths out at about 800 RPM, which is idle speed for warming up. I'll re-think my mounting if I start going through alot of lamps. Thanks for the tip.

Good luck finding a place on the Deuce that they won't rattle. They must be pretty tuff.
They are 28 volt G.E. lamps specifically made for heavy equipment. I agree Doc, try finding a place that doesn't rattle on a Deuce when the engine's running. I was also thinking about having a canvas bag with a drawstring on the bottom to cover and protect them when not in use. Wow, sometimes I think I have way to much time on my hands.

No, that's a good idea and I am going ot do the same when I mount mine.
