ACTIVE: JDX730 DAYS GONE BY: JD3010, JD790, JD425
I’m searching for the best solution to make-up for the shortfall in the X730 design, no rear flashers. I live in rural NH and we have some very hilly & winding roads so I need the best safety protection while I’m cutting or plowing along the road. On the X730 each rear light housing consists of a RED Lens and a Clear Lens. When going in reverse the bulb under the clear lens activates, also when choosing the “All Lights On” selector switch the bulb under the clear lens activates. Wondering if I can replace the clear lens JD UC12940 bulb with a 3157 amber flashing or strobe bulb (if there is such a thing). I’m not concerned about the reverse light function. If this is possible, I’d simply select the “All Lights” when working along the road and hopefully a bright LED amber bulb would be flashing, to alert drivers coming up behind me. Question, since I know nothing about LED Bulb Design is there a bulb that flashes or strobes when power is applied. Thanks

Beenthere thanks for the response, not in their road, as stated: I’m cutting or plowing along the road. That means where the end of the driveway intersects the road. I'm hoping someone can answer the question about a flashing 3157 bulb.

I meant being in the road ROW (right of way). But you have a plan so wish you well going forward with that plan.

I believe European version of X7** have turn signals so makes me wonder if wiring is there just need to figure out where flasher plugs in.

Maybe they have completely different circuit boards.
