    Try autobarn.com,The piia's and hella's work well,but cost accordingly. The lights in the picture are probably OEM. You could go to the bone yard and look around and save some $$$

    I would guess that JC Whitney carries lights that would fit,..

    And probably way cheaper than any dealer,...

    159 for the kit?---what all does that give you---the w9s i worked on were all wired for the lights--should be a connector--think it was on left side--bottom corner by rad
    i put those same lights in t600 bumper--got them from kw--think they were about 30 each

    I dont know whats in the 'kit'.
    I already have a dash switch and relay and 12v is at the pigtails on each side near the light mount area...

    Maybe I can buy them separate from KW. I will find out once I visit there...

    :biggrin_25513:

    I looked in JCWhitney...nothing that I could find that measures up to around 5x7

    i would try kw--the ones i got were ok--no screaming hell--but it helped in the snow with aimed at center lane
    you can go all out and get the 800 dollar moose lights--but i dont think there is any place in the US you could use them--kinda need nobody around for at least a mile with them--but they do light things up

    I'm just looking for a nice light...nothing major..so maybe KW will be fine, if I can deal with the cost...

    I picked up the KW 'kit'.
    It is actually a Per-Lux #6021-4. (600RM family):

    Here are the specs on them:

    All Weather Louvered Lamps, Incandescent, Pair, Swivel Mount 100w/7.7amps 25,000 cpr
    Wire harness/switch
    Mounting brackets and nuts

    • Stainless steel housings
    • Large louvered all-weather driving and safety light
    • Pairs include wiring kits
    All-Weather Louvered: Louvers direct the beam low to the road so back glare from fog, rain or snow is safely avoided. Pierces 100 feet through the densest fog.


    KW list is $244. My cost after discounts was $145. I was OK with that cost, since Per-Lux aren't all that cheap online either.
