I've had my 2016 XR4145 for about 18 months, including one winter. After just a little bit of night time snow plowing & a little bit of summer field work at dusk, I quickly decided that the stock halogen work lights at the top of my cab were worthless. This past weekend, I replaced them with Nilight 6.5" LED floods (https://amzn.to/4qbnvWo). They use just 36W, so they're the same power draw as the factory originals and required no wiring upgrades. I soldered on these H8/H11 male plugs (https://amzn.to/48Vq2gu) so they're plug & play with the factory harness. Less than $50 total.
The difference is unbelievable! Not only are they INCREDIBLY bright, but because they have a lower lip under the lens, they don't shine light downward onto my windows. The factory halogens would light up all the dust outside my windows & make it very hard to see through them. The only problem I have now is that because the hood & FEL are lit up so brightly, I see reflections when I look through the side windows. Oh well. I took a few photos with only one side installed so you could see the difference.
For slow work like snow plowing or mowing, these are all the light I'll need. However, because they're floods, they don't throw light all that far straight in front of me. If I was cruising down the county road, I might want some high power grille lights to replace the factory ones up there. Any recommendations that fit the factory housings?
