Peterbilt 367 Lights

Frequently Asked Questions About Peterbilt 367 Lights

What years of Peterbilt 367 do these lights fit, and are there any model-specific compatibility issues?

Most aftermarket lights for the Peterbilt 367 are designed to fit models from 2007 to present. However, there are important differences between pre-2015 and post-2015 models due to headlight housing changes. Always verify if the lights are compatible with your specific year, especially for LED headlights. Some fog lights and auxiliary lights are universal across all years, but main headlight assemblies often require year-specific fitment.

Will I need to upgrade my wiring or add resistors when switching to LED lights?

In most cases, yes. LED lights draw less power than traditional halogen bulbs, which can trigger hyperflashing in turn signals or error messages on your dash. For turn signals and marker lights, you'll typically need to install load resistors or an LED-compatible flasher relay. Headlights and fog lights usually don't require resistors but may need a CANbus decoder if your truck has computer-controlled lighting. We recommend having a professional install LED conversions to ensure proper function and avoid electrical issues.

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

Installation difficulty varies by light type. Marker lights and turn signals are typically straightforward 30-minute jobs requiring basic hand tools like screwdrivers and socket wrenches. Headlight assemblies are more complex, often taking 1-2 hours per side and requiring removal of the grille and possibly the bumper. You'll need metric sockets (10mm, 13mm common), trim removal tools, and electrical connectors. Many customers report that fog light installations can be challenging due to tight spaces behind the bumper.

What's the real difference in visibility and longevity between LED and halogen options?

LED lights typically produce 2-3 times more lumens than comparable halogen bulbs while using 75% less power. In practical terms, LED headlights can extend your visible range by 50-100 feet at highway speeds. For longevity, quality LED lights last 30,000-50,000 hours compared to 1,000-2,000 hours for halogens. However, cheap LED options often fail within 6-12 months due to poor heat dissipation. Look for lights with aluminum housings and built-in cooling fans for headlight applications.

Are chrome or black housing lights better for durability, and do they affect light output?

Black housings generally show less wear over time as they don't suffer from the peeling and pitting that can affect chrome finishes after 3-5 years of exposure. However, quality chrome housings with proper triple-plating can last just as long. Housing color doesn't significantly affect light output, but the reflector design inside does. Both finishes perform equally well optically. Choose based on your truck's aesthetic and whether you prioritize long-term appearance (black) or traditional styling (chrome).
