Removing whale fin on W900

Oddly, KW was $6 for each OEM/Grakon lens replacement and it included a screw and gasket. Iowa80 sold generics for $5 each with no screw and no gasket. So you never know with KW... The $140 hood spring from KW and the $692 alternator was way over the top- Got the same alternator from TruckPro for $450 delivered....big savings

 

$160 for 5 is what I expect KW will come in at. $40 each or so....I think 4 states truck parts has a kit that they sell 5 look-alikes. I think for that I would go with LED..the cab is incandescent and thats OK, since it's easy to reach. I wonder if I open the exit door on the sleeper, climb out and pull myself up on the roof - that might work, at least for getting up...getting down? - Hmm.

 

They do make somewhat cheaper 'drop' in lenses that have LEDs so you dont need to replace the entire assembly too...but even that was a bit pricey.

$27.50 each for basic

Geez....I will keep looking of course

 

That might explain the broken cheap black plastic thing under the windshield...I didnt break it but most of it is missing when I bought the truck.
