Well I finally got around to mounting up the LED light bar and work lights on the new tractor. Of course I took twice as long as really needed to get it all together, but it came out pretty nice I think! Everything sits tucked right up next to the ROPS so they should be somewhat protected from branches.

I added a AUX fuse panel for any future accessories too. It is fused at 30A, the ALT only puts out 40, so there really isn't a ton extra to run, but it is weather proof as are all the connections and switches. I will add one more work light, probably out on the backhoe arm. Most of the mini ex's we rent at work have a light mounted right near the boom/dipper joint that works pretty well.

I also swapped out the headlights for 1156 LED's. I had to cut and switch the + and - on the headlight outlets as they were wired with the center post as ground which wasn't allowing the LED's to light up.

It's interesting that you mentioned the headlights being wired backwards. I had the same issue with the tail lights on my B2650. I just reversed the wires at the pigtail plug that attatched to tail light harness.

I wanted to just switch the wires around at a pig tail, but I couldn't get to the head light wires without pulling apart all the loom. It was easier and cleaner to just cut and splice them. I also tried to take apart the weather pack connector, but I couldn't seem to get it apart.

Where did you find the aux fuse block?
