ARB bumper turn signal woes - new solution

[bamabrock]

Anyone know the measurement of these? I got an old style ARB bumper for my project j**p and would like to upgrade its turn signals to these if I can.

I can find them in clear but not black.

Those are the ones I run in my ARB in 100 series but take the time to seal them or they will get full of water.

Looks like ebay and amazon are sold out. Found this company out of Canada.

Going to order this week.

Disregard - out of stock.

Looks like no one makes these anymore.

Not worth putting them in. Mine after a few years you can’t see unless it is dark.

Also use RTV and seal them completely or they will leak.

@Bomar what is the best turn signal for the Arb bumper? A vendor could do well offering something up in led.

 

[Bomar]

I don’t know of a good solution. I have tried ARBs and these type and nothing last long.

My next step is to put a fog light in that area.

Anyone find a fog light solution? Or even
An alternative turn signal source?

I tried these after making a top mount bracket. They are completely crap though and have zero sealing. There are amber versions on ebay.

Also got in a pair of triple LED that I think are 30W from ebay. Quality is promising but they are larger and require more clearancing before they'd fit. They also are more of a flush mount so to adjust them would require a new way of mounting as well.

I looked at those on Amazon and one of the reviewers said that they didn't fit correctly. And mentioned that this forum is where he got the idea. Have you actually used them?

Looking at these Hella

For the signals? Those are to be 5700K white unless I am missing something.

 

[Bomar]

There is always colored film.

I am trying to find something that will last a water crossing more than 4 or 5 times.

I have siliconed the others many times over the years.

I've had the same issue with the marker/turn signals and found that the 84-89 Toyota pickup turn signals are almost the exact same size. I've had them in my truck for a few years now and with the exception of 1 burned out bulb, they have been flawless. When I changed the bulb, everything was still clean on the inside. They are a mm or 2 longer than the arb ones, but the screw holes line up and tighten down fine, only difference is they are not dual filament bulbs, so you have to choose if you want them as marker lights or turn signals. I chose marker lights.
