Armored Spot lights

[rustystud]

Since I have the truck up on stands working on the front springs I thought I would take this opportunity to fix some electrical problems and also install these extra armored lights I got for my deuce. I ordered some PAR36 12volt spotlights and installed them in the lights. Since my bumper is not stock military at least I can have military spot lights !

I love the look of the armor lights, but have had issues with them leaking and blowing out bulbs. I think mine will be replaced with something else.

They are a great light but I had issues with bulbs. An LED retrofit would make for.an awesome light.

I've looked into it. The cheapest led I'd use in them is about $25 each. Yes there are some cheaper ones($12), but not up to replacement quality imho.

The seals get old and will not expand like they should. I use a little RTV on them, works great.

Yep most were Marines (M1030B1) which were up graded KLR650's by a company called HDT but a few were bought by Army and Air Force. Most have a stock KLR250 head light (with B/O) and shroud, but in the parts I got had one with an Army data plate and this head light set up, which just happens to look like my avatar photo that I found on line. here is a USAF one and some Rangers in 95
