Yep, I agree. I think they need a complete rethink on the styling. I do the -150's.

I know they sell LED lights for the 67, with plastic covers. I'll be avoiding those.

The last time that I looked, we had some old all glass hi/lo round head lights in the storage cabinet at the fire hall. Both pumpers run single rectangular head lights ('92 & '98) but I think that the rescue ('84) has the round ones.
