Unity spotlight

I have had this unity spotlight for years

and I would like to mount it on my 52. I already have one for the drivers side and here is its mounting bracket.

I have called unity and they say the bracket kit is 58.56 plus shipping

I thought about going on flea-bay and purchasing a spotlight ( prob alot cheaper than that ) and using the mounting bracket. I am thinking how different can they really be, if I were to find one that come of a truck that I should be good to go.

Unfortunately I know that things are not always that easy, anyone have any experiences with this?

I have been in contact with unity and they have told me that the light with the mirror is a collectible item worth some change so it will not be going on the truck.

I was able to purchase a matching pair on e-bay today and will wait for these to arrive to see what I have to do as far as brackets.

The spotlight that I ahve mounted on my truck was evidently ( according to Carl at unity ) intended for the R side since there is a R and left bracket which makes sense and looking at the backside of that bracket it is marked R.

That spotlight itself was in pretty poor shape, I got it wired in and working but too find a match for it would be a pain in the butt so that is why I decided to purchase this used set on e-bay.

Hopefully there wont be too much monkeying around with brackets on these.

I need to fill the two holes where spotlight were at one time mounted with a couple more spotlights.

You can buy brand new spotlights from Unity (unityusa.com), along with the mounting bracket.

"Genuine" Ford spotlights were all bought from Unity. The spotlight you have isn't from any Ford, as none had that shroud over the mirror.
