Eagle Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I have always been frustrated by the fact that AMC designed the Cherokee with amber turn signal/hazard warning lights that are fully independent of the brake/tail lights ... but they did NOT do that with the MJ. I'm back to wanting to add some auxiliary lights to operate as dedicated hazard flashers, without interacting with the brake lights and disabling the turn signals. Money's tight, so this has to be a low-budget project or it can't happen. I can't open up a Gall's catalog and buy a set of professional-grade strobes. I was in a Wal-Mart yesterday and I noticed that many of their clearance lights have gone over to LED. Has anyone ever tried these? I'm curious as to whether or not they are bright enough to serve as hazard flashers on a bright, sunny day. If not ... I won't waste my time on them.
Harley Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 I've bought a couple of the small oval red LED lights and use them as alternative interior lights. I think they are about 3" or 4" long. Red is easier on your eyes at night. They are plenty bright and IMO I think they would be just fine for flashers. Maybe for exterior ya might wanna try the larger ovals.
battleborn Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 A service truck that I had couple of years ago had 2.5 inch marker lights that used in conjunction with the OEM lights as flashers while on mine sites. They are plenty bright enough for daytime use. The service truck that I have now has 3/4" Optronics LED markers which are extremely bright for their size and the space they take up is minimal.
Harley Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Another option ya might want to look into is going to a truckstop or 2 if ya have any in your area or shop around online. Think outside the box, there is a lot of options when it comes to semi truck lighting. most of which are not badly priced. Your sure to find something in the size, shape, color and brightness that your looking for.
battleborn Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Glad to know there is someone else from Nevada here, was beginning to think I was alone out here!
