I have a B7300HST. Both headlights quit working at the same time. Everything checks out OK. However, I have not checked the bulbs. It uses 66591-55630 bulbs. Is there a replacement bulb for this that fits the same socket? The original bulbs are not very bright. Thanks Ken

I***8217;d leave them nonfunctional and consider buying a cheap set of 27 or 36 watt LEDs and forego the stock headlights. Could always run wires from the stock headlight circuit to LEDs so another Switch would not be needed.

Once you see the difference in light output you would not miss the stock headlights. Amazon and others have them for under $25. Any of these will be 5x brighter and use less current.

This is the same bulb on my B3300SU. It's just an 1156 bulb. I replaced mine with these. They are LED and brighter than stock. LED pods would be ok but if I did that I would put them on ROPS facing front.

Thanks Carnage! I'm going to try some Lumen 1156 bulbs in my B7300. Hopefully works better with the ridiculously small alternator on that tractor. That'll be next seasons upgrade.

I don't know what is happening in the US but here in Canada we are doing campaign upgrades to the crankcase ventilating system on most of our tractors over 30HP which in many cases involves installing larger alternators. We have lots of alternators laying around the shop that we have taken off. Try asking your dealer if they have any that they would sell you for a good price to replace that dinky one on your B7300

There's no reason to change out the dynamo for an alternator if the OP is simply trying to obtain more light output.

Purchase a set of cheap 18, 27 or 36 watt LED lamps and there will be plenty of light and consume approximately the same or less amps compared to the stock headlights.

I've tested various LED lamps and found the actual current draw to be much less than advertised. See attachment. Please note the results are per unit, so the current (amps) would need to be doubled for a pair of lights.

Example of 36 watt lamp I've personally used and very satisfied with: https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-6-5Inch-Lights-Driving-Warranty/dp/B00IZ9VAOI/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1514666698&sr=8-3&keywords=12+volt+36+watt+led+flood+lights

Used them to replace the stock Kubota cab lights. They have to be at least 5x brighter than stock halogen units.

Spend the $25 and you'll be shocked at the light output.
