McGrew 460 #1 Posted September 23, 2018 Guys, I have the mechanicals on my Raider 10 to the point where it is dependable. I am going to pull the hood off soon and do some tweaking. It got a little twisted during an “off-road adventure” while under my Brother’s care... The headlights have not been hooked up in quite some time, and I plan to make them functional, but want to upgrade to LED if I can make them work in the original location. I am not interested in bolting something extra on the hood. I know I won’t be the first to do this, so what are my options? Thanks! Danny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 759 #2 Posted September 23, 2018 A possibility for you in this link to an old Topic , it will take you to page 3 where an LED option is shown/mentioned in post #68 and there is an image of their brightness on page 7 in the 2nd post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

McGrew 460 #5 Posted September 24, 2018 Richard, Achto and Kenneth, Thank you! That is exactly what I was looking for! Richard, I had glanced at the thread you referenced above, but did not remember your headlight upgrades. I also did not comment at the time, but will now... I have to tell you, yout level of craftsmanship is second to none! I am in awe of what you did on that build. I also hope you don’t mind if I steal your idea on the guide for the brake rod linkage? Mine has the same problem, but I have yet to fix it. Thanks for the information! Danny 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anglo Traction 759 #6 Posted September 24, 2018 Hi Danny, No problem whatsoever about using ideas. It was why I started the topic originally. If it helps others and improves the working ability of these machines, then it has done it's job. Regards 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankman 3,515 #7 Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Any recommendations for the 4” headlamps? Thinking, “I’m not to bright.” Edited September 24, 2018 by Tankman Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,736 #8 Posted September 24, 2018 (edited) Here you go Tank If you can find the 1156 in the lower 3 or 4 k color the better. the 5/6 k colors can glare with snow for winter work. If not a winter tractor go with 5/6 as they seem to be brighter Edited September 24, 2018 by WHX20 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
