Gama Goat taillights
Anyone here upgraded to Gama Goat taillights for safety reasons, over the standard blackout light style lights? Just wanna see pics of the completed conversions, and hear the reasons why folks did that mod.
Do you really think it's worth the extra $$$ to change to the Gama Goat taillights, or the newer LED lights?

RE: Gama Goat taillights
I run them on my M37, M38, M101, M416, and flatbeds...
I most likely will install them on the XM708 although I will keep the stock lenses around for shows...
I have LED elements in all the lights (use the versions that are direct replacements for incandescent bulbs...
Photos of my stuff are all over my website. In particular, you might want to look at:

Well worth the cost and effort to go with the full red lens. I don't have any decent nightime photos to show the comparison between what I did have, but I can say that followign a M38 with stock lights versus following one with M561 lights is a huge difference at night...

Uhhh, I thought just about all Gama-Goats had the full red lenses, sometimes referred to as "Nato" lights?They are about 4 inches around, with a diffused effect in the glass to spread out the light from the bulb. I looked at a bunch of pics and I can't remember seeing anything but the Nato lights. (Not to be confused with the newer style taillights, such as on my M151A2)

I do this every time. After I post something, I have to post again to clarify what I said the first time....age, the final frontier. Anyway, Most Goats had the old style tail-lights with the small rectangular glass lenses, about one half inch tall and a longer one with a shorter one above (or maybe the other way around). Then above those were the infamous Nato lights I just spoke of. At night, with the Nato lights on....they are as bright as cars on the road.
