I have since worked on getting the beast setup the way I want. I envision getting some jobs completed after sunset. So, thinking ahead I added some LED lights on the ROPs. I wanted to to shine forward to each side and backwards to light up the rear implements.
Forward focus for travelling...
Rear, downward focus for reverse and implements...
I decided to put the switch on a unused section of the 3pt control console.
The final wiring has a DPDT switch, the forward position have the lights on for travel, the rear position has all (front and rear) on for work. I used 18w LEDs from Amazon that only draw 1.5a each so I didn't need separate relays. I put a 10a fuse at the battery and ran battery > switch > lights. These are live, independent of the engine running.
Tested it out at night. They're brighter than expected.
