Anyone make a headlight bulb adapter to put different bulbs in? I've got a spare pair of both LED and HID bulbs in H4 style base...and I'm wondering :D....

There are adapters for Honda Goldwings (which use a proprietary headlight bulb) that let you use the H4 series bulbs.

If someone put a good set of bulbs in their tractor....let me know how you did it.
(pair of 25" 162W LED bars mounted on the ROPS pointing front/rear, but they aren't 'factory' looking)

Have you searched in here yet? There are several threads on similar bulb topics. Think most are in the Fabrication section.

I'm working on lights too but for headlights I settled on replacement assembles that include the dish, lens, bulb and wiring. They don't throw enough light to be sure but I also am working on two (one flood, one spot) mounted on the ROPS. I am redoing all connections, wiring, switches, and conduit. I will be running the wire inside the bar; someone prior ran it on the outside and taped it to the bar.

The problem I would have with high output bulbs in the stock lenses would be heat (not with LEDs of course), and aiming them. There is no aiming capability that I can see. The lights on the bar are another matter and can be properly aimed.

Looking forward to learning how this comes out for you.
