I'm replacing my front, cab mounted work lights with LEDs and plan to mount 2 of the same on the rear of the cab. There aren't any work lights on the rear now, only the orange flashers. The tractor is currently nit here for me to look at so I have a few questions.

This is for a 2004 L3430 HSTC

My questions are....

1. I'm assuming there is a pigtail with some type of connector on each rear corner of the cab, possibly inside the roof of the cab......?
2. Since there is no rocker switch in the panel for rear work lights, would it be OK to just piggyback off the front work light switch? Logically thinking, if I need my front lights on I'll probably need the rear lights as well. Or do I need to get an OEM rocker switch and install in the blank space for it?

Mine L4240 HSTC was pre-wired(back of the caution lights wrapped in black tape)with connector.I purchased the OEM rocker;easy plug and play job.I moved my front halogens to the back and replaced the front with LED's.

I woozed out and ordered my L4060 with front and rear lights with the intention of replacing them with LEDs. From previous reading I am relatively certain the pigtails will either be exposed at the mounting point, or tucked under real close as you suspect.
I like the lights independently controlled, particularly since my machine is really light on alternator capacity. I generally turn the standard headlights off unless I am on a roadway.
