There are posts about the Work Light Plug being a singular 3-wire plug, apparently they're sometimes bullet connectors.
What did you do to or on your Kubota today?
I was shuffling some things around today to do the same although it looks like you have more room to do that than I do. What size is your building? The barn is 60x40. The previous owner did it right. Nice job on the repair.

Probably the three bullet connectors located left,upper rear of the tractor secured with BLUE tape to the wiring harness. Male on black wire is ground, 1 female is _12, other is switched +12.
I use the switched to power a 4 channel RF relay unit. channel 'A' links to GDO, 'B' to the front facing ,ROPS mounted LEDs. 'Computer' box(baggy covered) slid into the left base of the ROPS.Key fob on cruise control lever.
I ran a separate wire from the battery to a fuse and relay set up. The relay is fed from the ignition switch. This makes sure that I can't leave the lights on accidently.
Just installed some pods on my ROPS on the B. Added a nutsert for the mount, ran the wiring down to the 12v work light wiring, and added a relay and illuminated switch.
Cheap Amazon stuff. Just put magnet strobe on ROP. Many different patterns.Easy to remove. Just came on sale last night 26 bucks here in 16 hours. Way brighter than it shows. Again only for roadwork so i wanted it to be easy removal.
I put a light bar on the front and two cube lights on the back of my 3902 recently. I purchased them as a set on Amazon. Running the wiring harness was easy, but it has very short hot and ground wires. I picked up a roll of red and black wire of the same size at Lowe's and was able to make the connection. They provide plenty of light and didn't break the bank.

Here are some pics. I placed the switch on the outside of the storage tray on the right side. It felt fine ergonomically, and then I didn't have to run wires up the dash area. Picked these pods up a few years back when Holley was having an online clearance sale. They are Bright Earth brand 3" cubes. I hope to have some warm weather so I can wash the tractor this week too!!

The strobe is powered by the cig lighter plug i put on fender next to battery.Strobe has cig lighter plug that has on /off and another selector switch for different light patterns.Wired direct to battery with its own fuse ( simple no cutting into harness)so if parked in street i can put the strobe on or just a yellow parking lamp. The forward and rear led lights are wired into tractors headlight switch low beam circuit. Wires run inside ROP. K.I.S.S. Is how i do most wiring .

Just got done with big lighting upgrade. Installed auxiliary fuse & relay panel and also added switch panel. Amazing difference. First night picture is stock tractor low beam, second night pucture stock high beam. ... then after the upgrade.

No, the voltmeter has USB and USB-C charging ports under the rubber cover.
One of my biggest complaints or disappointments when I bought my Kubota was how crappy the lighting was. Lucky I just had to swap them and used the factory wire and switches. My plan was to switch all the lights even the head and turn signal lights with led bulbs. However these light bars or pods are more then enough so I didn’t bother.
