Figure out a way to get the lights in the horn set and we'll have a million dollar idea.

I thought I had some in my photobucket, but all I saw was on older one with different lights on it. I'll snap a few later today.

I bought inexpensive ones from Amazon for my tractor. It is an old International 986. I put a 40" light bar above the windshield. and I put 12" on each side and the rear (4 separate bars). My tractor is a 1981 model and had the old glass fuses. I just left them as is and ran new wires and got a flat fuse block to control all them. I got separate switches for them and used a relay that will turn them off when I turn the switch off.

I love mine. I use the lights on my hunting land all the time. Sometimes with my job I dont have time during the day to get things done. I have worked as late as 1 am spreading fertilizer before a rain came.

I prefer the ones that have 2 mounting points over 1.

Much less "wobble"

What about wiring? For a 4 wheeler or tractor, can I just hook into the power right behind the head lights and have it work off the same switch? All on or all off?

Is a separate switch and fuse required to run the light?

If needed, will the cheap $15 switch, relay and harness found on ebay work?

You probably could get away with that depending on wore gauge and fuse sizing on the stock lights. You're better off running a relay and switch though. That kit will work fine.

Got my light bar in and installed. I wanted to hang it under the basket/behind the brush guard but it didn't fit. So I bolted it on the front of the basket rack for the time being. I guess it'll discourage me from running over saplings.



I left positive feedback on the ebay listing...
