Application
Designed for military jeeps and lorries originally or subsequently converted to 12V electrical system. Blackout lighting was primarily used during night-time convoy operations where minimal light emission was required.
Installation notes
The blackout tail light is mounted in the standard tail light position. Note: original WWII jeeps had a 6V system, this is a 12V conversion part. Check the wiring and ensure proper earthing to the bodywork.
Compatibility
Note: original WWII Willys MB and Ford GPW had a 6V system. This 12V blackout tail light is suitable for vehicles converted to 12V or for later models that had 12V from the factory. Some Dodge WC models had 12V radio version from the factory.
Historical context
Blackout lighting was an essential component of military vehicles during WWII. The perforated cover plate allowed only limited light through, making the convoy difficult to detect from the air whilst drivers could still assess distances between vehicles.
