ROPS LED's Questions

Can you provide a link for these switches?

Thanks

I am sorry I dont have the link for the switches I bought, but if you go to Amazon and search waterproof switches, you will find quite a few options.

Here you go. I did find the link.

Those do look good.

Where did you end up mounting your lights on the ROPS? From the horizontal bar at the top or from the sides?

On my B2650, I ended up fabbing up some brackets that I bolted to the bottom part of the rops using the existing threaded holes in the rops, due to the fact that I cannot get my tractor in the garage with the rops up. I wanted to get them up as high as I could and still get in the garage to be able to see good for plowing at night. I also welded on some guards to help protect them just in case.

The other thing I did to power my lights, I used the fused pair of wires that Kubota has provided that are taped to the wire harness on the right side and a little behind the seat for accessories like lights. It has worked out good. Good luck with your build.

I was wondering how that worked. Can you give a little detail as to what you had to do to make those work, please? Do they turn on when you turn the headlights on or did you have to install a new switch somewhere?

You said a pair of wires, does that mean there are two power and two negative connections?

What size fuse are the wires routed to in the box?

Sorry for all the questions. I'm not that great with electrical just yet. I know enough to be dangerous, but know well enough not to go do something without knowing for sure.

Has anyone bought lights from Rops Light? Wondering if the installation is as easy as they claim

The wires that are there are a negative and a positive from the fuse block thru a 10 amp fuse that has power when you turn the key on. All of my 4 led lights are 6-7 amps of draw. I ran the power thru the new switches, to be able to turn them on and off, and then to the lights.
