Just bought a set of 27 watt leds for my tractor- couple of question- there are 2 wires on each side by the rear side windows -= are those the ones for the rear lights?/ there are also a set of connectors by each fender by the seat - what are these for- and finally how do I mount them to the rear of the cab-
one more thing- where do I get the switches for the lights= thanks

thanks but the real question I have is which wires are for the hookup- the wires up by the rear flashers are yellow/black and the ones down by the fenders have a green connector to them- If I want to hook these up to a switch in the top cab panel which wires do I use- thanks

I would like to know also....I would think some of the connectors are for;rear wiper,rear defroster.I don't have either and would like to use for rear lights.

I would get a OEM switch from the dealer because it will hook right up to the wiring and fit the hole in the cab. Yes the wires are at the top of the cab on the outside. I can take a picture of the wires going to my light tomorrow if you want.

As I recall when I installed the factory rear work lights on my L5740, I found the power leads taped to the wires to the amber warning lights. The factory switch was an easy plug in but they didn't explain which wires to connect to the lights. I think I found 4 open pairs back there. I removed the cab roof, traced the wires, and discovered the answer was none of them. The proper wires were right there and were the only ones that would have reached the light mounting position. At least the cab roof is easily removed. 4Shorts had pictures of his roof removed so I had no fears - I had already removed it once to trace speaker wires.

I have the same questions. Did you find out which wires to use? And, will the lights work with the switch already installed for working lights?
