Don't know about a BX, but the work light connector that was on my L3800 harness was under the left fender, up around the rear light. In the photo the green connector is part of the work light kit I bought from Kubota. The work light connector on the tractor's harness was taped up, so it wasn't easy to see, and could be missed if one just looks quickly. On an older L model I checked out at my dealer, the work light connector was under the seat. You can try checking these locations on your tractor. Hope this helps.

This is for BX25. Sorry I dont have a camera handy. Locate the hydraulic lines under the seat that go to the backhoe. You'll find the worklight wires tucked behind that pair of left-hand hydraulic lines, taped to the wiring harness. You have to look very closely because it just looks like a gob of black electrical tape and everything is black in there. Its awkward as all get-out, but if you undo the tape, you'll find the connectors.

On my 2360 there is a plug below the seat I thinik its good for 10 amps, so a plug wired to your light would work

Hi All
Think I already know the answer, but I’d rather have it confirmed.
In this location on the rest of a bx23s, taped up to the wiring harness there are two powered lines and one neutral line.
One powered line is on all the time and the other is ignition based.
Can i use one load lines for a switched rear drop sander, and the other for work lights and tie both into the same neutral line?
Again, I apologize if this is a dumb questions. I think its ok, but don’t want to damage anything.

Providing the total current doesn't exceed about 10 amps , you 'should' be fine. You can also run another 'ground' line ( you called it 'neutral' ). The ground is the solid black wire, with the exposed(male) bullet connector on it. Powered lines will have 'enclosed' bullet connectors ( female).
