The demountable pedestal lights were used first on artillery halftracks due to the shock of firing the weapon. On the early fender mounted headlights the bulb or glass lense would break due to the shock. Eventually most halftrack were converted to this later style with demountable headlight or blackout light. I will be selling a complete pedestal light set up which includes castings, guards, socket rebuild parts. Two headlight assemblies and two blackout light assemblies. I'm asking $1000 for the lot.

Having just bought most of that separately, that is an excellent price and knowing the condition it will be in, a 'deal' not to be missed.
