Has anybody installed these lights? Do you like them? Thanks!

I have a 3 light set on my L3901. I like it, the install was really easy and they are bright. You probably could source everything separately cheaper, but for me having everything in one package was worth it. I wish I would have gotten the 4 light set.
I have thought about getting a set for the zero turn for the late season mowing.

If you keep the lighting amperage below the charging amps of the dynamo or alternator you can go as nuts as you want with LED's

Adding electrical devices to tractor

Purpose of post: to provide general ideas to fellow tractor owners wishing to add lights, electric sprayers, even some high current accessories for short term intermittent use (think winches, jump starts). I'll start with the high power preparations. #1 good heavy duty wire, at Walmart you...

With the 3 light set, I assume your set up is 2 facing forward and 1 rear. Are they all on at once or is the rear on a separate switch setting?

Two face forward on one switch, one to the rear on a separate switch.

Yes.

I have the 3 light set as well on my B2601, love them.

BUT....if you are envisioning a nicely hidden wire run internally etc. this is not the kit for you. These come pre wired, switch is sealed up well and ready to go.....all ready for external install with heavy zip ties etc.

Work amazing. I have run them blowing snow and it is like daylight, 2 front and 1 rear for the back blade.....

Highly recommend. These Canadians take their ROPS lights seriously.......

What doghandler said.

Also, this may seem obvious or simple but the Rear light comes labeled with a sticker "rear" so there is no guess work.

I did wrap my ROPS with black vinyl tape where I was mounting the bracket for additional "stickiness" and to keep from unnecessarily scratching the ROPS......

Thanks for the responses on the reverse light switch and set up.

I have the 4 light setup on my MX. 2 front and 2 rear, each set on their own switch. They are plenty bright, and were complete plug and play. (My MX has a set of factory extra connectors under each fender). They came with plenty of extra harness that I rolled up and zip tied.
My only complaints are that the switch boxes are just cheap plastic that aren't weatherproof, and the toggle switches are the illuminated type but were not wired in so they light up. I called and talked to John? and he said they couldn't be wired in to illuminate???

This is what I mounted under my ROP's , it was cheap and lights up the night. This one is actually mounted on my snow plow on my truck between the plow lights.
On my tractor I have a single round LED mounted on the rear near the plastic tool box facing rear.

I have 2 front, side and rear all on separate switches.

So I’ve gotta ask how these aged on the L? I have an L3302 and per the owners manual maximum wattage is 35 between both auxiliary plugs, combined, and each of the lights run at 27 watts?
Do I risk running the battery down?

Save some money.
I got the 20" light bar that WFM refers to off Amazon but with 2 singles to face backwards AND the wiring harness AND switch included - currently $42. Couple extra dollars for water tight connectors and good to go, turns night into day.

Didn't like my first choice mounting the 20" bar with brackets (shown in the picture) so I switched to heavy duty magnets under the ROPS, hasn't fallen off in 4 years. Used existing holes in the ROPS to mount the singles pointing back, one facing slightly down for 3 pt. hook ups and one facing further back.

That’s pretty slick! Do those plug into the work light Jack or did you have to run them back to the battery? I’m avoiding the extra labor here. lol

I hooked them right to the battery instead of going through a keyed relay or some such. Pretty simple install. The only down side so far is I have to check that the lights aren't left on after my 3 year old grandson comes to visit. He loves to move ALL the switches on the tractor. (note: the key is hung up well out of reach or else he'd be taking it for a spin. LOL).

The on / off button included in the kit fit right into the where the cruise control would have gone. Since the BX1880 does not have CC it was the prefect spot. Instructions included were simple enough that even I could follow them.
