Okay that is cool. More details please. Love the color. Where did you get the LED lighting?

The LED lights that I used to create the glow effect are actually part of a 5 meter reel that I bought off of Amazon. Just do a search for "12v Waterproof LED Strip lights" and you will get hundreds of options with all kinds of different colors. I choose Amber because I like how they look under a vehicle. I also installed some under my boat trailer - makes a really cool effect under the boat while trailering. The strip is encased in a clear protective coating that makes it waterproof. The strip is easy to work with and most come with a 3M adhesive backing for ease of installation. Alternatively, you can buy 2 sided adhesive tape.

a couple more ideas: if you dont have a hour meter already on your mower they are very useful to keep records by. also a mirror to watch behind for traffic if you mow any roadsides out.

The machine came with an hour meter and I've already used it to make sure my first oil change was at the manufacturers recommended 8 hours. I have looked at potential locations to mount a couple of mirrors, but nothing is really jumping out at the moment. I put them on my Kubota tractor and it makes a big difference when operating around roads and other areas where traffic may be present. At this point, I am going to hold off on the mirrors until I get a canopy mounted. Once the canopy goes on, I believe there will be many more options that open up for mounting a couple of nice mirrors.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Here are a couple of pics so you can see what the LED strips look like ....

Well .... I thought I was posting some pics, but they're not showing up for some reason. I'll keep trying .....

Here's another attempt to post some pics - this time with a new post versus using another post as a quote. Let's see if it works .....

trying again . . . okay - I'm really sorry folks. The ipad app says that it is uploading the pics and indicating that it is done, but then nothing shows up. Frustrating.

My iPad has done the same thing the last few days. I have heard other members complaining, so not just us.

Ok - looks like photo uploading is working again. First off, here are pics of the LED light strips I used on the underside of the mower.

I also complete the horn mod - pretty happy with how the install went and the positioning of the momentary button for activation with my foot. It's a pretty heavy duty button, so I'm hoping it holds up to the foot activation - not that I plan on using it all the much!

I am a bit disappointed with the loudness of the horn compared to the engine noise. I'm not sure it will be heard if I'm running at full throttle while mowing. I may have to look for a louder horn like I have on my tractor.

Here are some additional night time shots of the lights in action. I'm very happy with how these turned out and I'm absolutely loving this new lawn mower!
