But you still have the reflective metal triangle right? Maybe that is only a state specific law?

Sure you can - then the tree limbs will remove your lights /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Yes I still have the reflective triangle on the rear. Just want to remove the reflective tape and replace with lights for more exposure.

Thanks
Randy

Randy I believe that I understand what you want to accomplish and think your lamps not only a good idea safety wise but also much better protected than the OEM lamps.

Take pictures of your project, please.

I think the lights would be a nice addition - it appears the fenders were actually molded with lighting in mind - some engineer must have introduced a cost savings in the production process to replace with reflective tape.

Hopefully you can route the wiring in a protected area.

I agree with Pineridge that the fender lights would be better protected than the ROPS lights - I had a tree limb rip the entire housing off on side of my TN - but nothing a little duct tape couldn't take care of.

BTW - Nice looking tractor you have - I like your FEL handle
