Application
This 6 volt blackout lamp fits CJ-2A (1945-1949), M38 (1950-1952) and M38A1 (1952-1971) jeeps, as well as Dodge WC series trucks (1941-1945). Please note: early M38 and M38A1 models used 6 volt systems, later M38A1 variants were equipped with 24 volt systems.
Installation notes
Check before fitting that your vehicle has a 6 volt electrical system. For 12 or 24 volt systems, the lamp must be replaced with the correct voltage variant or a voltage reducer must be fitted. The lamp is fitted according to the original TM (Technical Manual) for your specific vehicle type.
Compatibility
PLEASE NOTE: This 6 volt version fits ONLY vehicles with 6 volt electrical systems. Many M38A1 jeeps have a 24 volt system and require a 24 volt blackout lamp. CJ-2A and early M38 had 6 volt as standard. Dodge WC series trucks used 6 volt systems during WWII.
Historical context
Blackout lighting was essential for military vehicles during WWII to enable convoys to drive at night with minimal visibility to enemy observation. The small marker lamps projected a dimmed light allowing vehicles to follow each other without revealing their position to enemy aircraft.
