The lights on my 416 are going bad, the contacts are going and im looking into replacement options that look the same but more importantly fit the same.

Went and looked at them, i liked them but I want to run my own bulbs, i dont like hardwired leds.  Found these on ebay for about 12ea.

They usually work well but if one diode fails you cant fix it, then you have to find another matching replacement.  I mainly ran into it with my trailer lights, they had them built in and it was fine intil half the brake light ring on one side failed and i couldnt find another single light so i had to get a while kit

Any place that sells trailer lighting will have what you need.  I drive I94 daily and pass by many gas stations that sell them.

Got them on.  Used the factory holes, put in led bulbs, they frame ground like oem, connected 1 wire each and off it went..both sides took about 5mins to mount including drilling the stock rivets.

@RED-Z06  like the led,s do a lot of roadside plowing and like the road view , never had an issue , that horse paint , could use an areosol lubricant spray down , let it sit / soak a day , rub it down till dry  with a soft clean cloth , do it again , second rubdown will probably bring out the dull paint . I  use a 6"  palm buffer with any cleaner wax , makes it quick easy , having done my horses , the paint just is very solid red , rub them down with a lubricated cloth. regularly , started with a dull finish . they all look clean , all workers , pete
