I don't think I'd owned the tractor for a month yet when I did that. Probably was March 2009. Nice heavy units. Wish I could remember where exactly they came from. All I can remember was that it was on ebay from a business that sells all kinds of lighting for tractor trailers.
Not sure if it's the exact place, but HERE looks like the same light for about the same price that I recall.

JJZ and Ductape, thanks for all the info on these additions. Another project to add to the list.

Thanks to both of you for poasting such awesome pictures!
With the front mounted blower I have I don't see that the wiper is needed.
I actually have more problems trying to keep the fog off the windows than
anything else.

I bought lights to install and was going to check on the installation kit but
find what the cost you paid to be quite high for a swith and some wire.
I figured I'd put some sort of switch in separately and use a relay in between.
Of course I'll probably change to those slick new diode lights and use the
others on my old farm tractors especially after seeing those cool ones used
as replacements on the hazards.

tiredguy, I guess the good part about ordering items directly from Kubota takes all of the guesswork out installation. Everything is made to fit exact, no cutting of wires, looks original, etc. Of course you're going to pay for all of this.

Was it a little more than I'd have liked to pay? You bet. But the looks and fit are to my satisfaction and I've done away with the magnetic mount/cigarette lighter powered work light that I had.
If you wanted to lighten the expense, possibly you could get the rocker switch from Kubota because it's plug and play for the existing pigtail above the headliner as well as an exact fit for the factory mounting bracket. Part # shown in my instructions is T1065-7537-0. However, I had no luck searching that part # at Messick and a couple of other spots. Possibly because it came from Kubota Wholegoods. I'm betting Neil Messick or Art (who posts here regularly) can help you.
From there you could probably buy the lights of your choice and fabricate your own mounting brackets or adapt brackets that come with your lights. Then tap into the factory pigtails that poke out from above the rear window.
