2515H Back up lights

[esz]

Anyone know how to get the back up lights on a 2515H to work? They do not come on when reversing.

I don't think those are meant to turn on, at least on the H models from what I've seen on the forums and Facebook groups.

Is there a bulb in them? If not, might just be a reflector.

The bulb and wiring should be there, you would have to engineer a switch somewhere to activate them, on an HST maybe the "back up" pedal.
On a shuttle some kind of switch on the shuttle.
I think I recall seeing a post somewhere and someone had done this, may have been a different brand though.

Is this a European thing to have back up lights on tractors? I have never heard of or seen them here in this part of the USA. My first thought was rear work lights operated by the light switch.

Not at all. I don't even understand why Branson would use that rear light assembly with reverse lights in the USA either.

The European Bransons just come with marker, brake and flashers on the rear light assemblies. There is a place for a possible reverse light but it's blocked with a black cover.

Appreciate that bit of information. Mine I would tie them to the high beams for rear work lights or on a separate switch especially since my 2400H has nothing factory for rear work lights.

Thanks. If I'm going to go through the trouble of wiring something up, I'll just install some rear work lights. That's what I wanted anyway.
