I have never seen one of those. But will nab them if I do. I bet they are hard to come by.

Old school.

I have one in my truck, the kind that tells the tune and has the map light but due too the light can't keep the switch pushed to stay off, it doesn't have a bulb.

I want to get one of the exploder ones and put in my truck but for how much they are going for, they arent going in my truck right now.

Well it's my transfer case control... So I gotta have it.
All B2's are hard to come by in my local yards now. 3 years ago I could find 8 at a time. Now I'm lucky to find 1 and it's usually a 89.

looks like the B2 is getting a manual transfer case... paid for the case today and now gotta find the linkage and auto shifter "boot" with manual t/case shifter.

Swapped OHC's.. Well I used my internals bc I knew they worked I just needed to face of it since mine was broken and wouldn't hold a lens in the right side. I bought this thing a year or so ago from someone on here and never put it on and just found it Saturday so.... Now it's on!

Woops..just threw a mint condition one like this the other day. Meh who needs push button 4x4 anyways.

I don't really know yet.. I have a guy local that's interested in them. I'm gonna see what he's offereing, I really don't have a use for them. Honestly If I'd use them again I'd get the Hella 500ff housing or something. These are kinda a weird spot beam... The beam looks like a "\|/" instead of just a round beam

The lifetime leds aint that great....They'll be great work lights like on a trailer, maybe backup lights.... But not good for front lights.

I have one of those too. It's on a shelf in the garage right now, one of the parts we took off Kip's truck before scrapping it. Not sure what to do with it. I've thought about putting it in the Ranger since it is the right color, but with a real dome light and a clock in the radio is just seems redundant.

well... I won't soon. :yahoo:

I swapped to a manual t-case a year ago and still haven't figured out what to do with that spot. I love the map lights, but I want to do something useful with the button space.

I wonder if I an find a back up camera screen that size.:icon_idea:

I think maybe I just expected to much, they are $88 LED lights... not like they cost Rigid money...
I kinda don't like doing this b/c lights don't picture well.... it's easier to see it in person.

low beam (4500k HID)


low beam and Lifetime LED's


just Lifetime LED's



the look pretty bright when looking at the light itself


they just don't have any kind of focus to them... they are a true flood beam, a WIIIDDDEEEE flood beam.

They look to be the same brightness but I would expect the LEDs to use less power, not that it is hurting your dual battery setup.

I can run just my top lights on my lightbar/headache rack, they are brighter then my headlights but shine in the same spot as my headlights. I need to get my flood lights hooked back up on my brush guard.

the LEDs draw nothing basically lol. Dual battery or not, I want to draw as little amps as possible.
The only thing I didn't like about my Hella's are the spot beam, I was looking for something flood. Guess I really want more of a "driving" beam than the true flood.
