Yep I made a boo-boo /w3tcompact/icons/blush.giffor I thought Tony wanted some work lights as in a shop.In the long run T8..277volt last longer and tad cheaper to use.In our chem labs you can see the lighting differents between T8 vs T12,the light is so much better.

Steve,
boy, i'm really showing what a dummy i am, but can i splice into the tail lights(mine are turn signals only), or do i need to hook directly to the battery? thanks

You only have turn signals? Whether turn signals or hazards you wouldnt want your work light blinking./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

To prevent accidentally leaving lights on and draining battery, you want to connect to switched hot wire behind dash, use test light to find.

If an aux. light was an option on tractor there might be a blank in your fuse block for that, if so fill it in with labeled size and find the new hot in bundle leading from block.
