ARB bumper turn signal woes - new solution

[ckkone]

I don't know about anyone else but my ARB turn signals are garbage always filling with water and corroding the terminals causing the light not to function. I found a set of amber LED lights for a VW Golf MK1/MK2 euro spec bumper and they fit perfect. They cost a bit more than the ARB replacements but I can't imagine they would hold up any worse than the ARB. Yeah and I need some new screws...

I got them here:

Some cell phone pics of them installed:

And a video:

Pretty cool. This is a good alternative for replacement signals. On my ARB, I just used some simple silicon caulk and it keeps the water out no problems.

The reason they fit so well is because the lights that came with your bumper WERE VW lights. I've got emergency lights for turn signals

Nice Lights. What ever crawled out from under your truck looked like a bear.

Crap. Wish I would have seen this before ordering new ones from ARB. Cost almost as much.

 

[ckkone]

Oh yeah, mine are still working fine and I haven't had any moisture issues with them.

Ckkone,
The info says something about harness and connections.

Can you advise on what electric connection is coming with the harness?

Will these fit the newer style bumper?

 

[ckkone]

I cut off the connectors and hard wired them.

Ckkone or anyone else with these lights, can you take a measurement from screw hole to screw hole? As well as overall height and width measurements if possible? I am interested in finding out if these will fit the newer style arb bumper.

I'm also wondering if anyone has replaced them with OEM VW lenses and if so how they have held up and if you can get them for a reasonable price.

 

[Bomar]

Are these lights still working for you all?

 

[uzj100]

The black ones look good. If someone out there has these installed, please post pictures turned on and off. Thank you.

These will not be a direct for to the new style arb bumpers. A bracket will have to be fabbed. I plan on doing this soon.

Does anyone know if the ARB turn signal size is consistent throughout the Land Cruiser line? Wondering if these will work for 60 series?

 

[S.CarolinaFZJ80]

Yup. I've had these on my 80 series ARB bumper for years.
