Anyone know whether the DC outlet on the new BX24 will power two 55 watt lights I plan to put on the ROPS to light up in front of the FL? Can the outlet handle these two simple lights?

Thanks for your comments and suggestions !

What is the current fuse capacity for this circuit?
Knowing the fused amperage capacity of the outlet will help with wattage limits.

I believe that it is protected by a 10 amp fuse, so it should handle 2 lights for the rops. However, there are leads in the back of the tractor for work lights that are protected by a 20amp fuse and this is what I used to plumb in 4 worklights, 2 pointed forward on the rops, two fogs for the rear. I have a switchbox mounted on the rops so I can choose the lighting I need. I have some pics at home and am happy to post them if you want them.

The wires you are looking for are centered right above the 3pt, taped up to a corrugated wire mold...you can't see them unless you look for them, they have bullet connectors for you to use. If you have any questions, let me know..happy to help.
