Rear Work Lights on B2650/Cab

[PHPaul]

When I ordered my 2650, I didn't think about blowing snow at oh-dark-thirty so didn't have them add the rear worklights. Based on how bright the front incandescents are (or rather, aren't...), that probably wasn't a bad thing.

I did order the factory switch to put in the cutout on the dash ($49.xx Ouch....) and pulled the fascia off the dash to find the plug for the rear light harness. All there, piece of cake to install.

Dithered around trying to find the male half of the original connector at the rear of the cab, but had no luck.

So, I wound up just using some water-proof, heatshrink bullet connectors I already had on hand. Mounted a pair of 27W Tufflite's to the bracket the 4-way flashers are mounted to. Just extended the arm with a piece of flat stock to get the light housing far enough away from the cab to allow the rear window to swing up and let me angle the lights enough to aim them where I wanted them.

I think that'll be plenty of light for snowblowing. Just hoping the glare won't blind me.

(I knocked the lens off the back of the left flasher while mowing, never found it. Need to get around to getting a new one.)

I have 4 of those lights aimed forward, and they don't glare much off the bucket or loader arms. I think you'll be fine come winter.
