Yeah but remember you really don't need blinding lights to do some basic maintenance or an emergency repair. These were under dash lighting from an interior of an Escalade. This was the reason I decided to install both of them. I now have the wiring installed so if I need to replace them with something a bit brighter I can. Another option I am considering for replacing these would be interior overhead lights from the cab and then LED lights could be substituted. The options are numerous if you just sit and think about it! Thanks guys

Toyota trucks 84-88 had a built in trouble light thing as well it was an option though not very popular in NA and so very uncommon to find, a dealer may still be able to get though. It mounted under the dash on the driver's side near the hood release.

What size are the bulbs? If they are 194's I'd replace them with some PIAA superwhites.
