Incandescent to LED Bulbs

msb1766 · Apr 16, 2016

I replaced all of the incandescent bulbs on my Sc2450 tractor with LED bulbs.
What a difference the led's make, here is what and where I bought. It took a lot of research to find the best bulb for the money.

How long have you been running the 1157?

Reason I ask, I'm pretty sure that's what my tractor takes for hazard lights. I have not found a LED 1157 that is as bright as incandescent and I've also had a high rate of failure.

If yours are as bright and last I'll give LED another try.

I have had the 1157 on the tractor since January, No problems and are alot brighter than the incandescent.
Here is another set but they are more than I wanted to spend for the tractor. I put the bulbs in the link below in my wife car (in white) for backup lights and they are really bright, they are 50 watts.

Did not require resistance on the blinker?

No resistance blinker needed. I thought I might need one since I swapped out all the incandescent to led.

Here are some pictures comparing the incandescent bulbs to LED.
