kuhar69 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Ok so its been brought to my attention like a repeat bad dream that the clearence lights on my 2003 RB788S are not the correct lights. Now when I bought the truck it has 2 LED bulbs per light x 5 lights. On 3 different times Mack fans brought to my attention that these are not the correct lights the last owner must have pulled a fast one and switched the torpedo lights for these cheesy lights I have now. I wanna put on LED torpedo lights but I cant find the short center light so that I can open the roof vent. Does anybody have any advise on these lights suggestions are welcome Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/15996-led-cab-lights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

kuhar69 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Have you tried Iowa 80?www.iowa80.comI have seen those on Iowa 80 but they all measure 15 1/2" long. The middle light has to be a little guy so you can open the vent. Im wondering if I can cut one down to the size I need and retap a mounting hole seal the back of the light of the section I cut off and call it a day??????

Greg Rider Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Can't you get an LED bulb to fit into your current housing? There are tons of aftermarket bulbs for just about every standard bulb application. Most LED's fit in the same space and are the same shape as their old counterpart.

Lmackattack Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 What I did a few years back was ordered the center bullet light from mack and then bought the other 4 lights from a chrome shop. the style and bulb type were all the same, If you want LED you can buy LED "bulbs" that fit the socket. you can get the bright LED bulbs from $5-$14 each.

Speed Posted November 11, 2010 Share Posted November 11, 2010 This is why I love this site!!! Ok let me try that idea.Thanks a lot I'll let you know how i Make out How about some business cards to hand out when someone heads for the cab lights subject that say "If I wanted the same cab lights all the other trucks of this model have,I'd be concerned,but I don't,so I'm not. Thanks for looking." You can get em free except a little shipping online. I ordered cards a couple of years ago from Vistaprint,and they only cost me about 5 bucks shipping.
