I have a 4720 w. cab. I intend to hook the front work lights to the beacon switch, I don't have a beacon installed (but the switch is there) and that would bring control right next to the rear work light switch. Do you see a problem with this? I know how to do this but better safe than sorry.
Next I would like to have the hazards flashing whenever any light is turned on including work lights, and that I"m not too sure how to go about doing. What would happen if I ran the flashers from the headlights connector? I don't mind not being able to operate the hazards by themselves (without road lights) since we have a bylaw here that requires road lights to be on anytime we drive on a public road, day and night. So far the only electrical work I have performed on this tractor -only had it for a month- was to reconnect the headlights that the previous owner had disconnected, had to do this after being warned by a cop that headlights had to be on (along with hazards) and work lights off anytime I was to use the tractor on a public road, which is often. Headlights beaming back from the loader is a nuisance but it's the law here, eventually I intend to install a dedicated switch for the headlights so I can turn them off whenever I'm in a work area.
