Headlight Suggestions

[702854boy 95]

Does anyone have any suggestions on headlights I can get for my 854 that are a 2 to 2 1/2 inch diameter and chrome? All I can find on the jungle site is turn signals or 4.5 inch diameter.

Try a search for motorcycle driving lights. These are black but you should be able to find some thing in chrome.

These might be what you are looking for. Achto has a set on his rat rod and I kinda copied that. Don't remember where I got them but most likely the jungle or fleabay. 

You can run them without the visors if their not your thing.

Do you happen to know the brand?

Just an observation that those lights will wonderfully illuminate the backside of a blower or snowplow but not much ahead.

Trailer Queen ... I highly doubt a $1500 paint job is going to see a (working) implement. 

 

@702854boy are mounted on the hood I believe. You ever get them apart Boy?

I saw the price and would bet if you called the guy on it some one has got fat fingers and the 54.29 is right.

Any one who is dumb enough to pull the trigger at that price has it coming.

I  paid 45 at the time I think that was 5 years ago already.

Here's one with the visors same seller ... bet he has them in clear too. 

 

visor

 

BTW I mentioned to the seller about his price. Interesting to see what he says. 

I was looking for a pair to make a facsimile HL setup for a somewhat custom 701 since Madge @AMC RULES won't give up the goods and I couldn't afford them if he did.

Checked out Mud's web site. Same price.

My guess is his flea bay listings get populated from his regular site.

You would be correct. When we got the tractor the po had them mounted on top of the hood kindly stupid looking but i figured since the power wire for it somehow got sliced, I decided I'd use the hood off of my old 854 that the tranny broke on because some po I think had headlights on it but the holes are on the side where the horse head logo is so I'm using it because it looks less stupid. And don't worry y'all, I'm not drilling any new holes in the metal.

No and on my escapade yesterday of tearing everything apart I decided to try to find new headlights instead of having a tow Mater tractor even thought that'd be cool, I decided I wanted two working headlights.

I'll let you know how they are because when I got home from school I ordered them since they were the $30 ones and not $1000.

Good deal ... those are a great choice. Let us know how they work out. 

Ohm's law say they draw about 4.6 amps apiece so I would run 12 gauge wire then split off to each one & fuse at 15 amp. 

 

My response from the flea bay seller.
