These came from LMC, but not the truck catalog. Look at LMC's British Victoria catalog for little sports cars (MG, Triumph, Sunbeam, etc.). After I broke a light in the back country of Arizona I was looking for these like I had on my ’72 K5 back in the early 90’s. I couldn’t find these anywhere then my FIL said he saw them in is catalog for his little Triumph. Sure enough, they are in the British Victoria catalog. Cheap too! Not sure why they don’t put these in the truck catalogs.

new lights look good Larry, how are they for light?

btw, if there from the same co as mine were, you prob be hitting them with some paint, i belive mine got all rusty looking in less than a yr.

I didn't notice any affect on the light beam spread. Seems the same as it was before. Yeah, I expect these to get rusty too. The ones I had on my K5 back in the early 90’s rusted up within a few months and we don’t even use roadsalt here. The ones I just put on the K10 haven’t rusted yet but if they do I think I might plastidip them in black.
