Posted: Fri Jul 24, 2015 12:32 pm Post subject: Turn Signal add-on |
|
|
I have been looking into adding turn signals to my M38A1. I searched for turn signals and got no hits so thought I would surface the issue
I see the signal arm and flasher module are available for M151. Do these two items work well in a modification?
I am hoping to install amber LED lights in existing front black-out lights and LED bulbs in the rear. I supposed I might need to convert the right side tailight assemble to a drivers side type.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
All the help in the past on vent lines and heat shields on exhaust stack have been great.
Thanks so much

Thanks for the tip. I load the screen under the search next to FAQ just as you indicated in your message and search line doesnt let me type in anything. I know it must be simple but somehow, I can
If I cant solve this I will never be able to do the turn signals.
I'll keep poking at the site but not sure why the hangup

Mikeabn - to answer your original question - yes, you can use a military M-series electronic turn signal system on your jeep. My M38A1 had the system when I bought it and I added one to my M38 when I installed a new wiring harness. The harness was made with the needed connections - all I added was the flasher and turn signal switch on the steering column. Originally, I converted the blackout running lights to a amber lens but later added separate M151-style lamp housings to the fenders so I could still show the original blackout lights. The right rear stoplight housing was converted by adding a left housing. I also used the full red gama goat style rear lenses for better visibility. Since the system was used on a number of M-series vehicles, parts are still available.

I was trying to type in the light beige area of the form and found that I needed to type in the darker green.
Got the system. So much there my head is swimming
Thanks for the patience from everyone
