Head and tail lights

[Stewart Loy]

Juan,

It looks like you have plenty of lights!

The big ones are for a MkII Universal Carrier or CMP truck. The blackout covers are in nice shape.

The small 'marker lamp' and the tail lamps are jeep parts ( for T-16 use). The tail lamps may be in metal cans with bases that bolt to the back of the armour. The lens covers are as you have them - one has a clear lens while the other side has a red lens. The T-16 had a brake light with switch - just like a car.

The T-16 stuff can be sorted out from the jeep parts by checking voltage. The T-16 is 12volt while the jeep is 6. The jeep parts repro folks make various types of small lights and I am not sure which is correct for the Carrier - the base stem on mine is thicker than the one you show.

Prices are seldom cast in stone. Remember that the more you pay for them the more they are worth!

You may have seen pix of my T-16 with a clear lens on each side of the rear. The red lens was a distant backorder from a jeep parts place not worthy of consideration. I put a clear lens cover on to keep paint overspray out of the housing until the correct part could be obtained from John Bizal at Midwest Military.
