Incandescent to LED Bulbs

[msb1766]

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.

Need to check those out. The headlamps on my tractor are a joke.

The headlight bulbs are so bright that even during the daylight you can not look them.
They are 100 watts each.

So maybe this is a dumb question but how did you look for the bulbs? Do you find the bulb number "1156" and just google it "LED 1156" or do you find that a different search works better?

 

[msb1766]

I searched LED 1156 and so on. I but if you have a strange bulb like my headlight bulb with no bulb number, just the voltage and watts. you have to find out the base type.
I mainly bought from Amazon so I could read the reviews.

Here is where I researched the bade type:Bulb Town: Buy Lightbulbs, Cheap Light Bulbs & Commercial Light Bulbs | Buy Bulbs Online
The website has some videos that explains base type.

100 W headlight bulbs that are LED must be pretty intense. My 27 W LED spots are pretty intense. I gotta wonder if you have plastic lenses, if they will start to melt? Thanks for posting the links, in any event. Handy to know.

I wonder how much light they put out...I know they're bright but that doesn't mean the reflectors can throw the light out

LEDs don't get hot.

MSB, just curious about those 1157's....are they "much" brighter than the originals?

 

[msb1766]

They are much brighter, You could not see that the tail lights were on during the day now you can.
At night is when you can really tell the difference.
The bulbs I bought were not the brightest on the market, Here is a link to some that are brighter:
