Looking for suggestions for quality, but economical led lights to replace headlights. For the headlights I would like them to have oem connector. Also looking for rear and side lights wired in maybe on an auxiliary switch, or possibly on front headlight circuit if it wouldn't overload. Thank you.

the thing about led is more light with less amp draw over halogen lights,so unless you go really wild, leds should not need a extra circuit if the halogen are removed. what you could do if you want the orginal connectors to be used is to solder and heat shrink the old connectors to the new pigtails of the new lights.

Thanks for the response. I did fail to mention the skid didn't have lights when I bought it… no idea why.
 
Can anyone recommend a brand/model of leds?
I would look for lights that first put out the light that you need but are not so large that they will stick out anywhere where they could get torn off. as a rule leds are smaller than halogen and make less heat so try to tuck them in where the factory ones would have been if possible. On the machine I used to have had no lights I added the ones from northern tool about 2.5 inches square ,provided good amount of light on sale I think 30 bucks for 2 but that was a few years ago before biden happened. there are alot of choices out there ,shop around and find the best fit.
 
hi, I'm newer, can anyone tell me why I saw many people now are looking for a new LED light? due to the weather for their equipment? thanks a lot
 
As to choice of brand. Many to choose from.
Stick to reputable brands who advertise EMI certifications if you plan on working long days with the radio on.
I've had a few that knock out the entire FM band. My worst killed the FM band for almost an entire block. Twas an angry construction site when I ran my light bar.
