I need a headlamp before I get busted! Existing one reads WAGNER 24 volt 2D4 E04 Does anyone know where to buy these or a crossover code? Having trouble finding one. Thanks in advance for your help.

In a pinch you can make a regular SMP bulb work by removing the military connectors, replacing them with crimp on tab connectors, and plugging them into the LSVW connector.

I can get you the proper part number tomorrow if nobody comes up with it in the next 24 hours. I am off today.

Had a look and the trade number for the LSVW headlamp is 4800. NAPA carries them (although they may have to come from district warehouse rather than your store location) and they list for $28.25 ea or around $20.88 trade price.

The NSN for these is an old American one as these lamps have been around for a long time. They were common on 24v buses as well as industrial equipment back in the day.

Found a deal on these headlamps at Rock Auto. Heaven knows that if you own an LSVW, you will be buying a lot of parts, so will want to save where you can.

Rock auto lists two of these lights as a dealer closeout for $3.80 Canadian each. I tested to see if the postage was going to be crazy: 2 of them with postage to Canada was just $20.60.

Their regular inventory is $8.12 a light, so two of them with postage adds up to $29.24. So for the price of one from NAPA, you can have two delivered to your door from Rock Auto.
