Incandescent upgrade to LED lights

[Butch]

Folks, I don't know where this actually fits so I will start here. My B2410 has two 1015 incandescent bulbs for head lights. They were ok but I wanted more lumens than they would produce so I looked into LED lighting replacement bulbs.

I found a site called www.superbrightleds.com that pointed me in the right direction with great products, reasonable prices and online tech support. It was a direct replacement bulb for the 1015 socket.

I replaced my 1015's with their 1156-WHP28-T Cool Whites and was blown away at the brightness and light range. We are talking 20 times brighter at least. The LEDs were a little taller than the 1015 but I had plenty of room in the lamp housing for it to work.

There is one thing that I have to mention. I had to reverse the polarity on the head light sockets as LEDs will ONLY work if the positive lead is on the center pin of the socket.... My Kubota was set up with the positive lead going to the outside of the socket. That took 20 minutes at best...

Take a peek at the site and if you go LED let us know what you think.

One more thing... the LED lights are good for 30,000 hours...

I used Sylvania Extra Bright 6000k bulbs in my B2650...huge difference in light output and I picked them up at Advance Auto Parts here in town.

Just ordered a set for mine on ebay.

My BX2360 are GE896 lights for cars.

More light was important, but at 37.5w each halogen, 75w was a lot for limited light, when I have a bunch of other lights on, like the flashers, and 4 LED ROPS lights. Didn't use the headlights anymore, but the ROPS lights will come off in the summer season so they don't get ripped off by trees.

The new lights will suck less juice.

$20 for the pair - hope I have similar results!!

I thought about halogen lights, however I did not want to increase the AMP load on the circuit (2.3 AMP increase) nor was I comfortable with the additional heat produced by the halogens. My buddy really screwed up the lens on his case international. I knew he was in deep do-do when his lens started to turn brown, Eventually he touched it after it cooled off and he now has a hole in the left lens...
