Well since everyone seems to like pictures I thought I would post these. I just added a couple of 35 watt work lights to my TYM T353HST. It came with one light (25w) behind the seat but I thought that would not help too much with a 3 pt. snowblower. I added the lights to the ROPS using an L bracket attached to the cab brackets that come standard on the ROPS. I purchased 2 OEM lights from my dealer as they have switches on the lights so I did not have to wire in an additional light switch.

You are going to love those lights. Can you swing them around to face forward? It doesn't look like it but the reason I ask is if you can, I find the lights high up on the rops helpful when my FEL is blocking the headlights.

Looks good thought!

Jimmyj - Thanks it was my first time installing lights on anything 12v. If I had to I could re-mount the lights facing forward (one nut) on the bracket. I decided that since most of my night work would be snow related I went with the rear facing. We have had a week of near 80 weather, it wrecked havoc with the bow hunters in the area. We start thinking snow anytime after halloween.

Looks good. I have put lights on the blower itself. Works very well. Do you have a cab? Or a reallly good snowsuit with a snowmobile helmet?

I don't have a blower for my tractor but I have a walk behind blower. I think it's hilarious how anyone blowing snow in bad weather winds up looking like the abonimable!

Well done,others should be able to see you w/no problem.

Do all added lights come on at once?

No, I purchased lights that had individual switches on each light. I can turn any one of them on as needed. I thought that would give me more options when using them.

Where did you get these? What brand are they? They have one at the dealer, but it's something like $70.00 and it's aftermarket. I would like to have a couple of these to go on the Mule and my M4800.

on edit: went back and read your post. Sorry

Kind of like this?:D Here's the before and after shots. This was taken a few years ago when I was back in ND visiting my mom.
