DK40SE wiring for LEDs

[lubepimp]

Looking for a little help gents, I was inspired by Sysop in this thread

http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/customization/308143-found-heck-deal-led-light-3.html

and am trying to copy his layout. I have the actual lights installed but before I start hacking (the wrong) wires I thought I better check in. I've spent a lifetime running wires but I didn't help my core Electrical Engineering Class achieve the worst failure rate in history based on my strong theoretical knowledge.

I purchased the wiring kit for the cree lights, which has red/black running from power to a fuse then a relay splitting to the switch and lights. Can I simply take the red and splice it into the main power running to the fuse box and ground the black to the frame? Alternatively there is a spare spot in the fuse panel, could I hook it up through there? Like Sysop I want to run 2 lights and am thinking off of the same line.

Cheers,

Tyler

My dealer suggested I hook them up to the little wires with the bullet connectors that run behind the seat; he said it's there for trailer light wiring. I have them both wired in and they work (with key on), haven't run them for very long yet to see if it will work over time.

You should be fine to run both lights off the same power source. What wattage are your LED's? as long as they aren't some massive light bar drawing huge amperage, you'll be fine. I'm running a pr of 27 watt and a pr of 36 watt off the same factory front cab light harness. No issues at all.
