92 U240 Driving lights

The mirror finish on my driving lights have failed. I wouldn't care as much but I use them for night driving as the headlights from a 90 Ford F250 are so weak compared to the modern HID headlights I've become accustomed to and I need something to see the road in front of me 🙂. What have other Grandvilla owners replaced their recessed rectangular driving lights with?

I replaced our Hella lights with LED flood lights 9 years ago.  They still look, and operate, just as good as the day I installed them.
I'm sure you could do the same basic type of mount with driving lights made by any number of manufacturers.

What did you do to your coach today IV

Stump.  Those look really good. I'd be interested in the details. Like which kit , maybe with part numbers.
  I did LED bulbs some time ago and there better but I doubt legal cause I can't dim them. I hit the dimmer and changes nothing.  Although I've only been flashed once by a truck in Nevada desert.

Stump, thank you. I was looking at the Aussie conversion awhile back but I never found a supplier in the US. I'm with Bob and Sue hoping for more information about where you got your kit. I'll check out the link you included.  Thank you.

The kit is on the link. When I bought mine it did not come with headlights.  I bought the headlight ones on mine on Amazon. You reuse the black plastic housings that are on the original and the Aussi adjustable brackets fit into them. Yes it is pricy but it's just money.
The improvement in the quality of light too me makes it worth it and I think it updates the front some.
