Some of the cheap ones from Harbor Freight, but they are bright enough and work great.

Made it outta scrap in about 30 minutes. The conrod/piston assy is from a junk 4-cyl. That's version 1.0. the new and improved version is on my S'Crew.

Devino246: could you post a pic of the inside cab view of that spotlight. I was going to get one off a F250 today but the grill and fender kicked my but.

It was mounted on the post rather than the cowl...looked pretty tight fitting...maybe too tight.

Just went out a took a few for ya. I dont wanna crowd this thread so just check them out on my photobucket: http://photobucket.com/devino246

There was a spotlight on my truck when I got it but it was too far gone. I didnt want a boat anchor in my post so I went out on a whim and bought a used light on Ebay. It was about 2 inches shorter than the old one so I had to cut down the outside bracket. It fits, but barely.
