Title: Replacement exterior running lights?
Post by: Jnbroadbent on February 12, 2014, 04:35:20 PM

So the lights on the rear are all leaky and kind of rusty (the metal square on the inside of course..) And the rubber is a bit hard. So I figured I should replace now.

If the plastic casing is good and its just the rubber that needs to be replaced - you can always "rebuild" the lights by replacing the rubber and getting LED lights that fit on the inside of the case. Might be cheaper than trying to buy all new lights.

Based on what Manny did over on the eagles board, I bought some LED truck tailights that fit inside the casing of my eagle tail lights and left the casing in tact. The LED lights are sealed. Its a light inside of a light casing but they work well.

I'm fed up with mine, lens always falling off or one of three set out.

I bought some LEDs and will give them a try. They have to be better than these!!
