I have yet to install any lights, had some trouble picking them out, and quite honestly, many are too expensive. I have also had trouble deciding on LED's or halogens.

Particularly since I cannot see them in person. I am kind of leaning towards a Hella fog lamp set up. I put a set of 500's on my CJ many years ago and they have not let me down. they came with the relay, proper guage wire and switch kit as well. Although they are fog lamps, I mostly use them to light my way through the rural deer country. I think they would be adequate for tractor use dueto the output, but what I really like is the wide angled coverage they throw, which is really why I put them on the Jeep in the first place.

Just order a bro-tek package..belly pans, thumb, BH claw and trencher, and brush fork for the loader. So that should change my usage considerably.

I recently put a 40 amp alternator on my D600 genset. Got one with an internal regulator. 3 wires hook up and no muss no fuss. Only had to make two spacers, used the original stay (elongated one hole) and the cost was $78 shipped (no core). Did drill a hole in the dash and slipped in a $2 indicator light. DB Electrical
Seems easier than spending $200 on a whole goods kit and still having to mess with the wiring harness and relay. :2cents: Battery is at 14.3 volts with electricl fuel pump, 12v radiator fan, kill/run solenoid on and idle/run solenoid on. The original dyno would not cut it.

My neighbor welds so we're tackling the weld up of mounting brackets tomorrow. I plow and dig he welds, we're all happy. Will post pics when available.

I'm going with Tractor Supply Halogens. Will be putting LED reverse lights on my pick up. Guess we'll see which are better and go from there. Good Luck on your install
