Those look like they were factory made. Great fabrication skills.

Very nice job, I'm going to buy mine from Paul Short, I already have the ones for hazard lights. My wife will break a couple of sets a year.

LoL,

about everything I do is a "one off"

probably paint em black.

mounting, yeah I wanted to stay away from using the small lens screws..

I like a little overkill.... :D

Nice!

I;m down to bare bulbs myself, but I have not yet figured the value of tail lights on a tractor. By Night fall, I'm home, and the tractor is in the shed.

Winter work needs work lights, but that is different.

I sometimes need to run over to the neighbours, etc and drive on the road at dusk. People drive too fast on our rural road, so lights on the tractor are important to me.

If anyone needs the part numbers for

BX23s lenses

Here you go.
They are about 11 bucks each @ dealer.

There’s a fabricator up north that makes guards for the flashers also, probably for that shape. Look up Specialty Repairs.
Nice job on the lens protectors!

Nice!

I'm gonna do something very similar ... I think the expanded metal instead of a center bar to protect the lens area....

Good job!
