Sales. When I called the parts department at the dealership and stated what I wanted, they said that a salesman would have to order it because it isn't an actual "part", but more of an accessory. But Parts was still able to write my order down and pass it in the right direction.

Those light kits have to be ordered through a salesman because they are what's called whole goods. They are accessories instead of parts. I got the front auxilary lights and 2 rear work lights. These are by far in my opinion worth the money if you use your tractor at night. Been very helpful pushing snow.

Do the rear lites work with the backhoe on? Are you guys setting these up on there own switches?

You may have to mount the rear facing lights in a different location in order for them to not interfere with the operation of a backhoe. Or, you could turn the forward facing lights around, which would be easy and they would allow for a wider light pattern as opposed to the narrow pattern from the rear lights being mounted on the inside of the ROPS. Then if you were to add two permanent rear facing lights to the top of the ROPS you'd have more than an ample amount of rear lighting for backhoe-ing.

All 3 of my lights run off of the 1 factory switch.

Hi WH401 Could you please tell me if that price was for 2 light kits or 1?
The price i got was double your price. $164 $84 thanks.

The John deere site says the front and rear light kits is not compatable. Is this true?

Only because there is only on plug...and the factory switch is not big enough to handle a bunch of lights (current draw).

Create a new circuit through a relay, from the battery, add you own switches and add as many as you want

Indeed. I added additional lights to my 855. They are switched off the regular light switch. However that switch only triggers a relay under the cowl. Work very well.

I was told they would not work with a 20 amp alternator. The front facing light kit comes with a Y wire to hook them together. So one hook up for the front and one for the rear. I have all three lights hooked to the same switch and have had no problems.

It know this is an older thread but I'm wondering if the OP would mind snapping some night time pics of the lights. And are there spare relay sockets under the cowel? What are you guys being quoted on the light switches?

The front light kit came with 2 splitter connectors, basically it makes two connectors into 4. After installing the 2 front lights, with the 1 rear already installed, I still have a free connector for the other rear light when I add it in the future. The switch should have no problem running all 4 lights, (this is for the 3320 though, other models may be different).

Sure I'd be glad to, but it'll probably be a few days or so before I get it back out at night again. It definitely makes a huge difference as far as night time visibility. Not sure on the relays, I've never taken the dash apart to look. I haven't had any problems running them though, whether with the engine running or just off the battery.

Has anyone installed all three lights on a 2520

I have see post # 32.

 

[jeffster]

BTW, I have all 4 on my 3520 and have had no issues at all. They are really bright and a must have if you have a loader as the front headlights are pretty useless most times because the bucket is in the way.

WH401,
Thanks for the post.
I just put lights on my 3320 and I did run them through the ROPS. The tubing JD supplies is enough to protect the wiring where it exits the ROPS although I did add some protection where the wires initially go into it.
