LED Headlight Upgrade

Post by pwrwagonfire »

I was wondering if anybody had tried to install these, or another equivalent into their M-37

I may be interested in trying it...

I have a set of 24 volt Truck-Lite Military LED's on my truck . I like them, They give you more of a whiter light And appear to be brighter then the incandescent ones. Also they use less amperage.

Those are both nice lights. How do they work with high/low beams?

When you have the low beams on only half of the LED's light up and when you put the high beams on all 10 LED's light up. Like in the pictures.

A little pricey, but it seems like it'd be a worth while conversion if you don't mind straying from stock!

Once I get on the road I'll save up for 'em...I be sure to let you guys know how they work out

Sal: Is the difference in light considerable?

Compared to the old incandescent bulbs I had on the truck these are much better.

I agree with you. Unless you want the truck 100% stock for judging I think any upgrade for safety is a good thing.
M37s are HMMWV in my world!

I think 07370 is just the bulb and 07372 is the bulb Mounted in a Green bucket...
