I just ran one wire back to the battery but I need more power back there for more than just two added LED lights. I also need it for my blower chute motor and deflector actuator. This year I am adding lights to the front but I dont know where to put them-I want to light up the front without the loader blocking it at all times. In the winter I also have the cab so I cant put the light on the ROPs.

Depending on how you use loader, what about a couple of small "utility" LED'S on loader arms.... I know sounds silly with the arms in motion and all, but where do you need the light....

Been working on the wiring. Have it all run, a bit of a challenge. I ran all wires in flex conduit and it looks factory. I also put together a 2500 lb Harbor Freight winch on the 3 Point adapter. I used connectors that spare hooking and unhooking wires.

Waiting on my light brackets from Acme Outfitters. They are supposed to be here Monday and then I can finish the lights.

As soon as I get the remaining brackets, I will finish and post pictures.
Thanks

Finally got the lights done. Waited forever for the light brackets due to supplier issues. Sorry for the long time lapse in getting this posted.

I ran the wiring in flex, following the factory wiring as closely as possible under the tractor.

Drilled two 3/4" holes in the ROPS on the bottom side of the top of the roll bar. ( I understand about modification of the ROPS, no need to send the ROPS police). Fished the wires in, protected by grommets. Built a water resistant switch box that is mounted to the seat frame at the back of the tractor. Seat clears by 1.5" when fully compressed.

Lights are great! The front and rear of the tractor are brilliantly lit now. Not that I run it at night, but plan to use it next winter if I need to plow snow.

Appreciate the help and suggestions as I was working on this.

Don't suppose anyone has the bulb numbers for the tail light replacement for GC series tractors? I'd like to convert to LED. Looks like headlamps use 921 bulbs. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks!
