Gogo, take a look under your fenders, just below the yellow flashers. There might be a yellow (?) wire (one per side) that just ends in a female bullet terminal- nothing plugged into it. When you tractor's key is turned on, or the tractor is running, there should be 12v at that terminal- nothing when the tractor is off. At least that has been what I found on my three Kubotas. In the fuse block, there is a fuse marked "work lights" or something like that, which is the circuit for the rear lights. Could be used for front lights, just as well, of course, depending. It is not a switched circuit- if the tractor is "on" the circuit is hot. You will want to switch it, I think. You will need a simple voltmeter to trace this stuff properly. When you get some lights, the red wire hooks up to the 12V positive power supply, the black wire to ground, which could be about anything on the tractor's frame/ metal fenders, etc. since they all are mechanically fastened together. I have simply put a ring terminal under a fender bolt head, and that works for ground.

Gogo,
I have a 2015 B2650. Just finished installing LED work lights. There was a label attached to the "work light" wire under the seat that stated 120W max. Which, at 12VDC, equates to 10A total. This would make sense seeing as how this feed is tied into a 10A fuse on the panel. I'm guessing that the work light circuit on the BX is rated for the same load. I installed 3 lights @ 27W each for a total of 81W and 6.75A. Two forward firing spots and one rear flood all controlled by a single, lighted, weatherproof switch rated at 15A. Good luck with your install.
Regards,
Duber

Just looked under the yellow flashers. No sign of an extra plug. Everything matches up in twos. Two to the brake lights, two to the yellow flashers.
DUBER. I did find a cable going from the back of the tractor to under the seat. I have no idea what it is connected to under the seat. I do know its not a seat warmer.
Would my manual show me where this wire is? (I would have to dig it out from the manual box)

Right behind your seat,couple inches down, you'll see a group of wires contained in black flexible plastic conduit. In the first picture on the linked page below, it is the one with white tape around it. Ignore the one in my hand, that's what I added to run wire to the lights.
Down toward the bottom of that conduit (in the picture) you'll see a glob of black electrical tape - in the pic I've already unwrapped my tape. Unwrap the tape and you'll have those two wires, red hot/black negative, ready to go.

GOGO ok forget the under seat, stand behind your Bx and look at the rear PTO. To the left is a wire loom, you may see a bulge in that loom. That's where they placed additional connectors.

Mine looks nothing like that
Crap.. I wonder what I pulled apart then?
This is what I see from behind the tractor. Also.. I seem to have lost my rear red tail lights. Checked the fuses.. seem fine. Wonder what I did?

Well, durn. If you pulled any wires apart, put em back together. In your picture, there are green butt connectors with two red wires. Are they connected to anything as in dead ended? I also see a black wire behind the red ones. Is it connected to anything?
