Old OEM Kubota Front Halogen Work Lights

[tjkubota93]

Cut the connectors off the burnt out lights and attach them to some LEDs that way you have good lights that connect to your factory harness.

I really don't want to cut off the old connectors and use any other type. I guess I am **** about using the OEM connectors.

I have already invested in buying a pair of old lights with the original connectors and need just two more.

As far as I can tell they are far from standard..... as I have been unable to find them anywhere after some exhaustive searching. And as mentioned, the Kubota dealers have no idea where to find them either. I've offered to buy lunch for the entire Parts department guys and the dealership owners if they can find me these connectors, and they all plead ignorance.

I have searched the internet for hours and hours trying to find them.

There MUST be a source/supplier out there.

It's driving me crazy !

Kubota does not list the light side wiring harness separately from the light itself (the light is PN: T1275-75302 ).
I would remove the harness from the old work lights and wire it into the new LED lights (leaving the tractor side of the harness alone, just taking the harness off of the old halogen work lights before you throw them out)
Can you post a picture showing the actual pins of the plug? A picture from the side helps a little, but a picture of the actual connectors inside the plug and its receptacle are needed...

When I put LED work lights on the front of my tractor, I tried to get some new connectors. My dealer said Kubota does not sell them separately. I went to my local parts store and he said he had never seen anything like that. So I wound up buying a set of waterproof connectors and spliced them into the harness. They work just fine.

Then I took the halogens that came with it and put them on the back.

Yes, I'll post some pics of the connector Pins as soon as I get a chance to pull them apart and do some close-ups.

Thanks.

That's been my experience with the Kubota dealers. Why one of them can't contact Kubota Corporate and get the info is beyond me.

And yes, if I have to, I can/will splice other connectors on the tractor, but I'd prefer not to if I can avoid it.

Thanks for the info.

Perhaps the big issue isn't the connectors but the lights themselves. When I replaced the OEM halogen lights with LED worklights I could hardly believe the difference. I'm not sure that I'd pay $3 for a connector if the purpose is to use the factory worklights. (And I'm not bashing anyone for using them, if that's what you have then that's what you have, but if you want good light for working in the dark, those factory lights just don't work that well....)

I don't think the oem Halogen worklights stink too bad, but my plan is to replace them with LED's.

I want the connectors to accomplish that without cutting the oem connectors on the tractor.

I also don't want to cut the connectors off the original lights.

The ideal thing would be that I find the connectors from some source.

I'm curious, why don't you want to take the connectors off of the original lights?
Do you just want to save them in case something doesn't go right with the LEDs?
I have switched two of our three tractors over to LEDs and there is no way that I would go back.

I was saving my old OEM lights after my LED install, just in case. At least until I was recently talked out of them.

I went WAY overkill on the wiring. I put in a relay & fuse box up in the roof. You could pretty realistically jumpstart the machine from up there if it weren't for the fuse down at the battery. I put in Deutch connectors on my new lights. Not cheap, but the sturdiest weatherproof connectors you can get short of submersible rated ones.

Yes, In case I ever want to go back, particularly if/when I sell the tractor.

I have an aversion to cutting perfectly good connections.

But I'll do what I gotta do, if I can't find a couple more connectors.
