B6100 headlight upgrade

[dave86]

The headlights in the B6100 were crappy when new and now are totally useless. Has anyone done an LED upgrade? What parts did you use?

Hi Dave, I did what may be the cheapest way. Mine had no lights, the bulb filaments were broken, so I got led bulbs at a local store. They are either 1157 or 1156 to fit the sockets. Not real bright but I do not work in the dark, just driving back to my shed after sunset occasionally.

One note: if you have a loader, it doesn't matter how bright the headlights are, the loader will often be in the way. Better to mount some nice auxilliary LED lights up high -- preferably on a ROPS or cab.

I agree with Torch, the stock location is not great if you are planning to work in the dark. Do you have a ROPS?
