curious of the light wattage as well as the availability of the dash switches?
55W halogen work lamp, flood light pattern: I must say that the illuminated zone is better than what I'd expected. The dash switches are genuine Kubota parts. I first saw those switches on a
L48 working light kit (option). The switch is very well made and it called me daddy. So on my dash they are.
Here's the part number: 36919-54222. A bit pricy for a switch but I tell you this, it worths every penny.

Paint matches really well. Is it Kubota?
Yes the paint is Kubota Dark Gray 70000-00210 (acrylic enamel). 2 layers of primer and 3 layers of gray paint. Once the enamel has hardened it's ok but it cannot be compared to a powder coated paint or even an epoxy one. For light brackets it does a good job.

Are the light switches stock and if not, where did you get them.
I've bought the switches directly at my Kubota dealer. Usually that switch is mounted on Kubota excavators or TLB like a
L48 and maybe a
L39.
Each pairs of light are protected by a 15 amps fuse mounted on a panel inside the engine compartment. They cannot be turned on if the tractor isn't running (to prevent draining the battery). The switches are illuminated only when the head light switch is activated. Actually it was pretty funny to rig the wire harness beneath the dashboard to make it works that way.
The lights are just a bit lower than the top of the ROPS so where the ROPS can go the lights can too. And the width of the lights are a bit less than the tires' width so where the rear wheels can pass through the lights can go too. The brackets are solid enough to resist small branches but we're talking about lights so caution is always required when passing nearby trees. I'm aware that I have a tractor not a tank.
