1991 MH 600 cabover headlight buckets

[South of Heaven]

Hi gentlemen,

 

I need headlight buckets for my1991 MH600 cabover.  They aren't available anywhere!

Can I use any 4x6 bucket? Like a late 80s Chevy K1500 or Blazer etc?

I want to switch my headlights to LED.

 

 

Ty!

Whatever you install make sure they are well grounded! I've heard stories of loosing headlights at night with Mh's due a bad ground. Late 80s chevy headlights look like they have the same bucket but I'm sure the mounting/adjusting will be different. 

LED brights with standard dims is what I've seen a lot of people run on quad headlight stuff. Not as annoying in town and such.

Ground is needed to those buckets indeed since the body panel is fiberglass. I had to use an off-brand headlight assembly because could find only one used original bucket. Bought a set off some old Audi car with US style lights. The base was made of steel and the closer to the center bucket was fit with offset to the front. So I had to cut the base in halves and attach each portion to the body panel separately. Not a big deal but hand job with drill bits and screws.

You can also purchase a double bucket with a pair of lights of a style similar to what was used on Superliners. As I remember MH attachment is different but my memory doesn't serve well since I provided my deal 9 years ago. Anyway you need to have something to start with and that option seems as a good choice. Check out SLC lighting or Bigrigchromeshop and you will find them in "healights" folder of the catalog.
