I believe these are the bullet lights bigdog is speaking of....

I bought them for my MH and they are indeed plastic.

The old ones KW and Pete used were solid metal,plated aluminum or pot metal and heavy. All the ones I remember,back to the ones on my Dad's first '72 F model were plastic.

Why the heck do they cost so much?

[Superdog]

depends on where you buy them.Walcott had them for $99.95 for a set of 5. I made the mistake of buying mine from Mack so I could get the short center light,thinking there couldn't be that much difference in price,I never asked. Had to order them as they weren't in stock,cost me $454.75. I about shit.

The Chinese are demanding higher wages and/or the "boat trip" is expensive?

It seems to me as a deal of Mack trucks inc.

The ones I bought cost me $14x4 long and $12 short from Trucklight, as the watermark on the picture above.

It was without shipping of course.

They look almost the same as the ones on the cab wich are no doubt originals.

We recently had another thread on these lights. I just received the ones I ordered from SLC lighting for $13.25 each and they seem ok despite the fact the box was about half untaped and mashed when it arrived. There was $12 shipping so the 5 lights cost about $78. Of course they are plastic but so were the originals.

EDIT: Here is a link to SLC lighting.

In the post a while back someone had the Trucklite part#s for the LED bullet lights both long and short. I can't find the post, anyone have the #s for them.
