oh yeah, thanks for the link to Quick Fist. They look like they'll be the answer to a few of my little projects.

 

I did the maglite mount mod on my 4runner about a year ago. It is really easy, I got the brackets from amazon.com.

That is the one I bought, they have some new automotive mount but the general one works fine. You'll have to buy some nuts and bolts from the hardware store to make them mount correctly, and you'll need a drill and a center punch. I mounted mine on the metal seat bracket. You just find where you want to put the mounts use the center punch then drill the holes and mount the brackets. If you want more of a description on how to do it, just message me.

 

got my mag light brackets at BIG 5 Sporting Goods. They had TONS in stcok near the check out counter

 

No problem... they seem to work quite well.

 

I converted one of my "D"cell maglites to LED. Took about 2 minutes... Big difference. Longer bulb life, longer battery life.

I think I bought the bulbs from pocketlights.com

 

So just purchase from pocketlights.com and swap out and your good to go then?

 

reply to PM sent...

 

Thanks.... It would help if I followed the link before I inserted foot. That is a pretty easy mod! Thanks again.

 

anyone care to provide a writeup on the HID and LED upgrades?

edit:I really should learn to read, or just stop posting...

 

I was thinking it was hard to do, all you so is go to www.pocketlights.com and buy the replacement bulb. I was thinking the same thing basically when I seen those pictures on the 1st page (lots of work), but just a replacement.

Edit, just seen your edit.

 

i picked up my magllight holders at a bass pro shop (right next to the mag lights)... i had looked for a long time at all kinds of places.

oh and i love my stinger also. but kinda hard to compair a $15 flashlight to a $75 one now isnt!

 

You will notice a huge difference!

 

for $9.95, I got one of these from Harbor Freight

not bad for a 15 LED flashight.............

 

i carry both a mag light and a sure fire tactical in my 4runner... the surefire is for lighting... and the maglight is for whacking! (if needed )

 

I'm with you SnoViking! I've been thinking of getting a nice compact & bright light but, I know that 3D Maglight will still be in there close at hand .

 

I stopped buying Mag-lites and starting to buy the Inova brand. Currently got a couple of X-5's and a T2 I just picked up.

The T2 will use my old red filters and caps from the AA Mag-Lite.

I gotta admit though. Having a reliable flashlight that uses AA batterie has it appeal though.

 

I have a BassPro close to me ill go there for the mounts, Thanks everyone.
As far as the l.e.d bulbs are concerned they are good for close up lighting and not so good for distance, they dont have much of a beem.

 

That is what I thought until I got my T2 from Inova. A different lense design than a normal LED.

At least check them out before you rule them out.
