over the weekend I restord a WWII blackout ligt I got for free (had to buy the light part) form one of my cub members and installed it on my 2009 Jeep. I got it working with a power resistor. here are some pics. I was thinking of painting it a darker matt green so it would mach my Jeep more. Next step when I get some $$ to burn is a WWII jeep horn!

I love what alot of the jeep green guys have done to retro their rides to wwII. Of all i've seen, this is the best!

Love the switch too.

Is that solder job going to hold up though?

"Blackout lighting is a requirement for certain combat operations. The purposes of blackout lighting are as follows: To provide the vehicle operator with sufficient light to operate the vehicle in total darkness To provide minimum lighting to show vehicle position to a leading or trailing vehicle when illumination must be restricted to a level not visible to a distant enemy."

In short, just enough light to see the trail, just enough light for the convoy to see you, and works like a bright ass light with NODs (Night Optical Devices) on. When I was still in the Army, we were required to have a "guide" walk in front of the vehicle while running "blackout" to prevent running over sleeping soldiers or into foxholes.

On a civilian jeep, its just cool!
