I wish I could....but I dont Tig weld and I would have to remove the lense and I think that would ruin the seal and I need to make sure this guy remains waterproof.

Well your choices are very limited in that case :confused3: take it apart and bring it to someone in your area and get them to tig it for you. You can reseal it and your good to go. :thumbsup:

dnrsslr. Does your Ventrac have ROPS? If so, I think you are going to find that they are a better place to mount them. Getting light up high will get you a better close field view. In your setup you will find that the equipment in front tends to create a shadow, and with all the lumens you got coming off the front, the contrast will be pretty high.

Just a suggestion, I wouldn't take them off the bar, just tape / strap / bolt your bar to your ROPS.

We finally had snow so I could test the lights! Yes, they definitely made some pretty deep shadows right in front of the blower when the blower was up. But, it is SO MUCH BETTER than the old light!!!!

I had considered (and was almost ready to buy the pipe) 1/2 black iron pipe to make a frame. It would not have been too difficult. I had even thought about fastening a plexiglass windshield to the frame to keep some of the snow and wind off of me. But, after clearing my drive last night, the lights are acceptable as mounted so I think I'll leave them alone.... For now.... maybe sometime in the future I'll get in the mood to build something to make them higher and wider!

Ive put over 20 hours on the tractor this past week snow clearing and I'm to the point that I'm only using my led lights and turning off the OEM tractor lights. They are so bright in fact I can't use them when I'm on the road.

I ordered the 27W LED Round Flood lights from LEDstore on ebay. They were delivered from the west ccoast to WV in a few days and the lights looked really good. I ran down some plastic washers for the swivel points of the lights. I put 2 facing forward and 2 facing rear. I made brackets out of unistrut and welded some bolt ears on. I picked up the power from the factory work light circuit. I used panel mount toggle switches and drilled and mounted them in the light bracket. I turned them on after dark and all I can say is WOW. I had a few questions for LEDstores and they responded quickly and to my satisfaction so my next light purchase will again be from them. Ledstores :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Here are a few pics of the lights. They are the flood type and with the front and rear on I can see all around the tractor. The grass shots do no justice to the lights but itr gives you an idea of the pattern the lights throw.
