2005 Freightliner Coronado Headlight Upgrade

Thanks for the fast response. I am putting TruckLite driving lights in place of the factory fog lamps. It is taking some work, but should be better. I would like to match the Trucklite 27270C model to the driving lights as they are cheaper, but the Trucklite model has a more uniformly round back that might not fit the headlight bucket like you've shown.

The running lamp housing are regular factory replacements? What exact bulbs are you using and are they strictly amber LED? I have seen some that are white for DRL and then turn amber when flashing. I think I have seen some kit for that conversion.

 

Here is my work done. Also have a plan to do the same with DTRL/Turn signal lights, found some 5.75 inch size on EBay.

 

I had a 2006 Century that I put in the 7" LED by Grote.
I had the same fixtures as you.
I use to have a1998 Century that used the traditional 7" round headlights. So I went to a wrecking yard and got the headlight assembly from an older truck, they just bolted right in.

 

Did you do the same thing as Petrel? i have a glider that needs new headlights freightliner wants $600 lol

 

yes I'd like to know too my stock head lites are awful on my coronado 132 glider i was looking for the easiest way out of this

 

I just bought a 2018 132 Glider, I absolutely hate the #### headlight system.
I'm looking into a cheaper, yet more custom looking as well as effective solution.

I built custom cars for years and when I come to the day of my project I'll post pic's as well as part #'s and vendors..

 

im waiting for this one.. i have a 08

 

I have a 2014 Coronado glider with the 9006 & 9005 7” headlights. I have purchased the 7” leds. I had to purchase the plug and play harness off of eBay for the 2 plugs and purchased the Harley Davidson/Jeep cj, wrangler, etc bracket. Will have to do some minor mods on the hood where the headlight goes but nothing major just drill out some holes for the bracket to fit properly.
