**cross posted in the customization thread, but more LS specific questions here**

Since my driveway is short, and has a bunch of road frontage (not to mention a 55mph road), I felt it best to mount a Idiot Light on my tractor. Can be thought as me being an idiot in the road, or me trying to avoid idiots on the road, your choice!

I wanted it to be semi protected when the ROPS was up, so it hangs underneath. I extended the mounting forward, to make side visibility better. I have the wires set up appropriately to allow the ROPS to fold down still too, as i need it dropped to fit in the shed.

I have yet to wire it up fully, need to decide on a switch, and find warmer dryer weather to lay underneath to run the wires. (wired to my booster pack to show it working)

What I need to know from the LS guys.... does anyone have a schematic? Where is the best spot for me to connect into for this light? Can I take advantage of one of the 'spare' fuse holders? Anyone with an R series have a preference as to where a switch might get mounted? (they really didnt give us many options)

Also noticed 2 different unused connectors behind the seat!! And several under the dash. Hence the desire for a schematic!!

I have decided to use this switch

and will put it in place of the rubber plug just to the left of the key (why is this plug there anyway?)
