You could, provided that it was physically the right size and had the correct pulley size. But there is not much clearance in there so rather than buy one that may not fit I prefer to go with one designed to fit this tractor. Someone else posted photos in this forum of the upgrade and if you look at the clearance it's not much.

I decided to add 5 new lites to the rops, with 3 facing forward
and 2 facing backward for the hoe. I'll post some photos once I get it done. Didn't want to mess with trying to swivel the lites as they would have to be loose and probably vibrate.
Interesting note on pricing. If you buy 55W Halogen driving lights for a car, they are as much as $150 a set, but if you buy55W Halogen tractor lites (same exact H3 bulb) they are $17 each from
