    Peter showed me those lights and they’re probably the best looking lights I”ve seen. Well built and heavy and I understand they are non breakable. They look like this if I got the right part number:

    Could you post some pictures of how they are mounted? I would love to move away from the PIAA lights on my bus. They are great lights but lenses are vulnerable and expensive. I need to replace both lenses right now.

    Peter I have a 1986 Liberty Prevost and the way Prevost wired the headlights should have been against the law. There are individual high and low beam bulbs. As you know the headlights are a 24 volt system and the high beams are wired in series as are the low beams to allow Prevost to put 24 volts across two 12 volt bulbs. The problem is that if you blow one bulb in the string (high or low beam) you automatically blow the other as it now has 24 volts hitting a 12 volt bulb. Prevost wants about $1,500 to re-wire them so that each bulb operates on 12 volts. Anyone out there have any great ideas?

    Chuck,

    If you have headlight relays, and you should, this can be an easy change. Find the relays and make sure they and the wiring to the headlights can handle the increased load of 12V lights. If they can, remove the 24V going to the lights, not the 24V for signalling. Add a current protected 12V line in place of the 24V, change the bulbs, done.
