LED lights on my M416

[Pawnshop]

I installed a set of surplus Trucklite Omnivolt LED tail lights on my M416 today along with a NOS wiring harness, thought you all might like to see the results. The harness went in easy, once I figured out which end goes in first! I had to put spacers between the bracket and the body to give enough standoff to clear the bigger buckets. I think these lights will make the little girl easier to see AND look a lot better than the civvie boat trailer lights that were on her...

Pics of the brackets?

I used the stock brackets but had to extend them to accommodate the larger diameter of the newer style lights:

Looks good - I have to play with the M416 on this end this week, I'll use your mods as an example for mine. Thanks!

While the spacers look like they might allow wiggle, they do not. I gave them a good shake today, they are in fact very stable.
Since I am putting the bigger lights on mine too (not LEDs though) I will use the same spacer set up.

Cheers

The lights "in action"

Message headed your way, also soon to be the correct brackets.

Good idea to switch what y'all each have that the other needs.

Anyone else want to trade their newer style light brackets (for the composite lights) for my older style ones? Since I tow my M416 behind a 1009, I'm most definitely post-Vietnam style.

Cheers
