International 9900/i/ix Lights

Frequently Asked Questions About International 9900/i/ix Lights

Will these lights fit my specific International 9900 model year?

Our International 9900/i/ix lights are designed to fit 1987-2017 International 9900i, 9900ix, and 9900 models. However, there are variations between early models (1987-2003) and later models (2004-2017) that may affect mounting points and wiring connections. We recommend checking your OEM and model specifications before ordering, or contact our support team with your truck details for exact fitment confirmation.

Are these lights DOT approved and street legal?

Yes, all our International 9900/i/ix headlights and marker lights meet DOT (Department of Transportation) and SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) standards for on-road use. Each light includes proper certification markings. LED options provide superior visibility while maintaining legal light output patterns. Always verify your state's specific requirements for auxiliary lighting if adding fog lights or additional work lights.

How difficult is the installation process, and will I need special tools?

Most headlight and marker light installations can be completed in 1-3 hours with basic hand tools. Headlights typically use existing mounting brackets and plug-and-play connectors for 2004+ models. Earlier models may require splicing or adapter harnesses. LED conversions sometimes need load resistors or flasher relay replacements to prevent hyper-flashing. Our tech support can walk you through any challenges.

What's the difference between halogen and LED options for my 9900?

LED lights offer 50,000+ hour lifespan compared to 1,000-2,000 hours for halogen, use 80% less power, and provide brighter, whiter light output. However, LEDs cost more upfront and may require additional components for older trucks. Halogen lights are budget-friendly, work with all electrical systems without modification, and provide a traditional warm light appearance. Both options are available in various beam patterns including spot, flood, and combination.

Are replacement lenses available if mine get damaged?

Yes, we stock replacement lenses for most International 9900/i/ix light assemblies. Polycarbonate lenses are available for durability, while glass options provide superior clarity and scratch resistance. Many customers purchase spare lenses for quick roadside repairs. Individual components like bezels, mounting brackets, and pigtail connectors are also available separately to extend the life of your existing lights without full replacement.
