Grote Lighting ???'s

I noticed on Ebay from the same seller what appears to be identical lights,

82033 - Yellow, Military Green, $147.21

HMMWV APPLICATIONS:
82303 - Yellow, Military Green, $174.58

Can anyone explain the difference between the two, which may be better, cost difference justification, etc??

Looking into these for my M715.

Thanks

I get dead auctions when I follow the links.

[Hetzer]

Agreed, dead links. Just as an affirmation.

I probly messed them up with the html from applying fancy colors

Maybe he gets a higher return from the Humvee crowd (bigger spenders?)

That was my 1st hunch, but the different part # made me wonder if there was also connector differences at a minimum. Otherwise I hope they aren't identical where taxpayers are concerned. Would hate to think motor pools also pay more for the same part... with our money

I have a set of Humvee tail lights, and all of the circuit numbers matched the 715 part numbers

Thanks Flingarrows!
Was also looking at these;

Just because they have that "look" of an older era. Still not vintage, but not as far removed.

Hoping I could switch between 12v and 24V bulbs down the road depending on electrical directions I wind up choosing.
Are the bulbs readily switched out for either voltage?

EDIT!! : The description/photo of the rears shows a stencil which reads "12/24V" so that appears to be GTG

If you have to have them. Go for it. Those are the better choice aluminum case big bucket lights. They will bolt right up on the rear. The fronts will need about 1/2" spacing to bolt up.

They have regular bulbs for the non black out light lights. You will have to change to what your truck is. The black out marker and brake light will be LED and work at either voltage.

Now, if you can wait. I would imagine the guy that had several hundred totally LED front and rears a few months ago will post them up again. A bunch of us got them at less than $30 each. 7-35 volt solid state.

Make a list and be patient. Vigilant too. What you want is out there and cheaper than you think if you can wait.
