If anyone has any tips on installing the basic tractor implement lights "rectangle" on the front of a kioti LK3054 no front end loader, i would greatly appreciate the advice. I know it's a pretty basic job for the most novice of electricians, but that is not my strong suit!..

Do you have ROPS? If so, mounts on ROPS with clamps, Kioti dealer should have parts for the clamps, they work well. Mine are factory and are switched, they are always live so I can turn on if tractor is off. Do you know where to tie into electrics?

Hi Joel, thanks for responding. And yes I do have R.O.P.S, that was actually the first place I considered mounting, however I was told that drilling into them was a bad idea "because it could possibly weaken the metal." Although clamps had never crossed my mind.. And i wasn't aware they could be purchased from a dealer. But my dealer is about 30 away, and alot of times i only have time to go when i take my tractor in for service. Of course I'd make time for for a part I need. As far as the electrical goes.... "first off when it comes to wiring, I know very little. As in i can mount a ground, connect extend a lead or live wire, join them with butt connectors ,clamp, heat and wrap them nice and neat as long as i have an existing current to attach to." Once it's to the point where relays or fuses need to be added, or drilling through the firewall to mount a toggle, that's something I can't to, would love to try, under the supervision of someone who knows, "as with most anything" but can't do it yet. Now underneath both rear fender wells, there is a cluster of wires all of which have existing weather proof connectors on the ends. I've experimented with those using a multimeter and and even drilled in a single wire "groto" light facing the rear just behind the base of the ROPS, the only thing is it doesn't come on with the lights, it comes on with the key turned to start mode. I really don't need a rear facing light as much as i do a forward, but i left it there for the time being.... I'm going to try to post some photos to give u a visual of what I'm working with, although it's a stock setup i know there have surely been at least a few minor changes over the past 14 yrs. "for what it's worth, this tractor actually had a front end loader on it when it was in the show room, my dad decided to have them remove it before we bought it, not thinking we would need it. A decision he would come to deeply regret up until his death this past February, he constantly searched for one with a price he could justify paying for a tractor this old,"speaking in terms of what a new/ newer one would cost w/ more horsepower and a loader already attached" he was a business man, and me and my brother along with 4 others still run his car dealership, I'm 27 and have always been the one who helped him maintain his 10 acre estate, and shared his interest of tractors, vinyards,and fruit trees, along with just keeping up a small piece of land, although now it's all on me. Although I don't mind. Sorry i got side tracked, the point i was getting to is that, all of the wiring to hook to a loader is still in tact the dealer left all of nice and neat, in case he ever changed his mind.... If that's of any use for you"

I bet one of the loose rear wires is intended for a work light on the back. Check the fuse box to see if there is a slot for a work light, and then see if you can connect the dots. On my Kubota, the work light fuse fed back to one of the spare wires under the rear fender. So I connected the lights to that with a switch in between (switch installed on a blank panel on the fender). Just be sure the fuse and wiring can carry whatever current is needed for the lights. And also make sure the alternator has enough juice. Many folks use LED lights to stay within current limitations of tractors.

there should be a set of wires already connected to the light switch, and positioned on the back fender. just get a 12v tester and check those leads.
