Posted: Fri Mar 13, 2020 6:47 pm Post subject: Turn Signal
I know I have asked this before but need to make sure what I want to do is right.
(1) If i us a 24 volt turn signal with flasher can I use the front and back, black out lights as turn signal.
(!0 Or should I go with a step down to 12 volts and buy new lights Thanks for any help.
2 - If 24 V which turn signal system do you wish to use?
(a) Original large mechanical control box military kit type?
(b) 2nd original military style transistorized kit?
(c) A civilian HD 24V turn signal kit?
3 - Do you wish to modify your current military lamps to accept turn signal bulbs?
4 - Do you want to add separate turn signal light assemblies?
Take the time to answer all 4 of these questions and we will be bale to get you started on the right path. _________________ Wes K

I'll start with question #1 Yes I would like to stay with 24 volt system for every thing
#2 turn signal 24v # do433 and flasher # 11613431 They come as a kit with wiring. Military style
3 The rear lights all ready have two element bulbs Not sure about the front black out lights.
# 4 not sure on this question buy what you mean
Thanks for your time. and any assistance you can give me
This is my first army (m38) and have no idea what I'm doing.
#2 turn signal 24v # do433 and flasher # 11613431 They come as a kit with wiring. Military style
You have this kit?

Each of these bulbs are single element bulbs. If as you say you have dual element bulbs in your tail lamps then they are not original military tail lamps.
If your M38 is stock 24V then this diagram shows 5 bulbs in the back with only one hot wire going to each of them.
Is your electrical system stock M38 24V matching this schematic?

The original M38 had four standard military light assemblies. Two front single bulb, single filament small diameter parking or BO light assemblies, a standard full size left rear light assembly with three lamps all of which are single filament lamps and a single full size right rear assembly with two bulbs having one filament each. This yielded several functions. The left rear light with three bulbs provided a red brake lamp for regular driving (Service Drive), a red tail lamp for regular driving (Service Drive) and a BO tail lamp. The right side only provided a BO stop lamp and a BO tail lamp. By asking "Do you want to modify your 4 light assemblies or simply add a separate light assembly, 2 in front and 2 in back? means do you want 4 more light assemblies added on that only function as regular driving turn signals? _________________ Wes K
