BKrois Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I know they've come up in the past. My question is I have seen newer Mack MR garbage trucks with LED headlights that are brite are look great. Want to try and get the part # to see if they'd go into my 86 R model or 82 U model. Want to do something different on my dumps Quote BryanMy Photo Albums Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44434-led-headlights/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mackey58 Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Man I just saw an ad about the leds that they now have a sensor that when there on they warm up to keep the snow off the plug looks like the 3 pin gotta look for that info it was either grate or truck lite Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44434-led-headlights/#findComment-328389 Share on other sites More sharing options...
r686st Posted March 25, 2016 Share Posted March 25, 2016 Peterson has "plug and play" whole assemblies for any Mack with the 7" round headlights and 3 pin plug. They are pricey but in my opinion well worth it. I have a set in my 1991 RD690S and love them. I enjoyed them so much I ordered a Truxx Accessories brand set for my 1992 RW613.(4"x6" high/low beams) Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44434-led-headlights/#findComment-328392 Share on other sites More sharing options...

grayhair Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 (edited) I expect the price of LEDs to continue to decline as the quantity manufactured continues to grow. What's not to like, low current consumption, long service life, usually won't fail from vibration. It's just that the equipment to make them is expensive. Or, you could follow the diagrams below to try to make some LEDs at home.

Timmyb Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 I would expect anything with a Mack part number to be more expensive than an aftermarket product. My brother has jb speaker brand lights and he likes them.

grayhair Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 OK cool. While you are out maybe you could swing by Tractor Supply and pick up some more Xenon Difluoride. (The dog peed on mine and it vaporized.) Thanks! 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44434-led-headlights/#findComment-328607 Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatcity Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 would a second hand flux capacitor do? got one just collecting dust Quote Success is only a stones throw away.................................................................for a Palestinian Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44434-led-headlights/#findComment-328630 Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayhair Posted March 27, 2016 Share Posted March 27, 2016 OK, Flux capacitor will work. I thought we were good to go, but now, you can see below, mice ate some of the wires in this thing. And my wife wants it out of the kitchen anyway... b 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44434-led-headlights/#findComment-328636 Share on other sites More sharing options...

41chevy Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Will Necco Wafers work as good as silicon wafers?

grayhair Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I think Necco Wafers could work. Silicon crystals, sugar crystals, what the hell, it's worth a try. Let's use the clove flavored ones. They taste just bad enough to work. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/44434-led-headlights/#findComment-338878 Share on other sites More sharing options...
