Hi List...

>> Does anyone have some follow Me lights for a CUCV that they would
>>like to sell.

>What are follow me lights?

For those listers who HAVE NOT heard of "follow me lights", they are
infrared or low-intensity visible spectrum light marker lights that
are used in blackout lighting conditions for vehicle convoys at night.

In the case of the CUCV, they are rectangular lights with potted LEDs
about 3" long by maybe an inch tall that mount in holes in the rear
bumper (and smaller ones in the front too).

There are stories of entire convoys going into ditches or over
embankments because in such convoys, you follow your lead vehicle no
matter what...because all you can see are his "follow me" lights. I
have driven in such convoys, and you really have to trust the guy in
front of you!
