Frequently Asked Questions About International DuraStar Driving Lights
What years and models of International DuraStar trucks are these driving lights compatible with?
These driving lights are designed to fit International DuraStar models from 2002 to 2018, including the 4200, 4300, and 4400 series. The mounting brackets are specifically engineered for the DuraStar's bumper configuration. However, trucks with aftermarket bumpers or custom modifications may require additional adapters or drilling. We recommend checking your specific VIN with our customer service team if you have a 2019 or newer model, as International made some front-end design changes that year.
How difficult is the installation process, and what tools will I need?
Installation typically takes 2-3 hours for someone with basic mechanical skills. You'll need a drill with metal bits (if your bumper doesn't have pre-existing holes), a socket wrench set, wire strippers, electrical tape, and a test light or multimeter. The most challenging part is usually routing the wiring harness through the firewall - many customers find it easier to go through existing grommets near the brake booster. All lights come with detailed instructions, but professional installation runs about $150-250 if you prefer to have a shop handle it.
Are these lights DOT approved, and what's the difference between fog lights and driving lights?
Yes, all our International DuraStar driving lights are DOT/SAE approved for on-road use. Driving lights project a longer, more focused beam pattern designed to supplement your high beams for distance visibility. Fog lights have a wider, lower beam pattern that cuts under fog and precipitation. For DuraStar trucks, driving lights mount higher on the bumper (typically at grille level), while fog lights mount in the lower bumper cutouts. Many drivers install both for maximum visibility options.
What's included in the kit, and will I need to buy anything else?
Each driving light kit includes two light assemblies, mounting brackets specifically designed for DuraStar bumpers, a complete wiring harness with relay and switch, stainless steel hardware, and installation instructions. The only items you might need to purchase separately are wire connectors (if you prefer soldering to the included crimp connectors) and additional wire if you want to route the switch to a custom location. Some customers also add an inline fuse for extra protection, though the kit includes built-in circuit protection.
How durable are these lights, and what kind of warranty coverage do they have?
Our International DuraStar driving lights feature heavy-duty aluminum housings with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses rated for temperatures from -40?F to 185?F. The LED versions are particularly robust, with a 50,000-hour lifespan and no bulbs to replace. Halogen versions use standard H3 bulbs that are easily replaceable. All lights come with a 1-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship. The powder-coated brackets resist rust and corrosion, though we recommend periodic cleaning in winter salt conditions to maximize longevity.
