Superdog Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 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.

Bigdogtrucker Posted December 24, 2013 Author Share Posted December 24, 2013 Why the heck do they cost so much? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33998-bullet-lights/#findComment-222926 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 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. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33998-bullet-lights/#findComment-222929 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vladislav Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 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.

MHfred Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 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.http://www.slclighting.com/Cab-Marker-Lights_c6.htm 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33998-bullet-lights/#findComment-222991 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAD DOG Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/33998-bullet-lights/#findComment-224253 Share on other sites More sharing options...
