I have searched the site for installation of work lights for the B7500 but could not find anything. I hope to install the lights soon but was wondering if the 7500 has a fused wire near the ROPS (like other models) I could use without cutting into the hazard wiring. I have looked for a unused wire in the area to no avail. Which wire is the best choice? Also, would like to put in 2-55W halogen pointed forward and one pointing to the 3 point hitch. Will the charging system be able to handle the voltage draw with the three lights operating along with the headlights? Thanx in advance.....

Yes there is a 15amp circuit right behind the seat on the right hand side that is for work lights. I used 2-55watt lights facing forward and a 35 watt facing back and have had no problems.

Here's what I did on my 7500. I know your not supposed to drill the the rops, but this worked well.

Attached is a pic of my approach. With the (flood) lights angled out slightly, they provide nearly 180° of light. A simple piece of steel bent at 90° and bolt it on using the FEL bolt.

I know there's a caution about drilling the ROPS, but I really believe they say "NO DRILLING" because that is the easy way to limit liability. It would be difficult for the engineers to specify what drilling would be OK. Some yoyo would find a way to misinterpret the instructions.......................chim

Thanx Greg.....2-55W and 1-35W....works for me. Now I need to find a place for a cup holder and maybe a larger tool box. Of course, Sat TV would be out of the question. Or is it??? /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Cup holder and larger toolbox....... I've had my B7500 since September and I still haven't figured those two out. Let us know if you get a good idea. I have a BH, so I can't put anything behind the seat.
