Changing to LED lights

[kubotaken]

Has anyone changed Kubota OEM lights to LED. If so can it be done easily?

Define easily?

I have a L1500 with the old 3 pin mount motorcycle bulbs and at the time could not find "plug n play" LEDs
and my reflectors were so shot that after I did find one that would work it would have been worthless.



Other models have LED replacements.

I went this route

After the fact I found these, I think they would fit, but at $100.00 each, NO

So it depends on the model, if the headlights are original and what bulb they use
to determine if it can be "easily" done.

Search Feature is your friend. butttt...... I'll give you a pass this time ... you can't search by LED. Too few letters

Hint. Moving this to the Fabrication/Customization forum where you can find alot of threads on this topic

I changed the lights on my b2650. It only cost me $25, 5min, and the replacement LEDs are brighter and draw less juice.

I did. I changed my head light bulbs on my L3000F to led and all my turn signal and running lights to LED. Made a huge difference. Now that the factory lights are pulling less amps I can add my flood lights. lED of course

Your in KY and may be fine with LED head and flood lights. For folk who plow snow though.... they might have an issue. LED lights will get their light blanked out by a cover of snow where some form of bulb type light typically gets hot and melts the snow thus preventing this issue.

Wouldn't you have to change the reflector out too?

 

[hank2000]

No or at least I didn't have to. I ordered LED bulbs from Amazon they were just LED'S with the same base as the old bulbs. Much much brighter

The LED not melting snow off is really more of an automobile issue, because the speed cools the lights off too much.
Most of the higher wattage LED still create enough heat to melt snow off on a slow moving tractor.

And it does take a lot of snow to completely block out really bright LED's.

Good to know.

I bought a set of LED light bulbs to replace the factory ones on my BX2350.

Going to see how these work out. Also ordered two 12inch LED light bars for the ROPS.

installed a pair of led bulbs to enhance my B2650's headlites. they made a significant difference. they were more of a blue than a white white. but they will work..
