LED front and rear added

reaperman · Feb 6, 2017

I added a new set of front led lights to the top of my machine today. I had two lights on top of the machine already facing forward. I'm now using those lights to shine in the rear of the machine. Mainly for plowing snow at night. I used the existing 4 roof window holes to mount the light brackets to. I ran the + wire to the rear tail lights and used a blade connector to plug into the existing wiring. And the negative wire was ran to a ground nut I found close by. This way the LED lights are activated by the factory light button pushed twice. I know its not ideal to have lights mounted on the top of a machine. The way I mounted them its not a big deal to remove if necessary. For the money, the lights are a no brainer. The front lights were $17/pair and the rear are a buck or two less per pair. If you follow the link you will see photos of the lights. The first picture where the telephone pole is visible are actually the rear lights. I had to point them up somewhat to be able to see over the top of the cab. I figure the telephone pole is about 200' away. The next pic is the front lights, I have them pointed downwards and a bit to the side. I never thought I would say, "now I'm hoping for snow". https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BxutA6nggnFgVC1ST1ZraGxzbmM
