Head lights

Wondering where I can get some good strong (bright) headlights?? I'm not sure the halogens from JD will be bright enough at night snow blowing.

The stock head lights are 37 watt halogen, they are extremely bright. I wouldn't suggest trying to upgrade them to a higher wattage halogen as it may melt the wiring harness or the headlight capsules. What you could do, is get a High Intensity Discharge (HID) kit off of ebay, they actually draw less wattage than Halogen and make 4 times the light output.

Ebay seller HIDgate is where I buy my HID retrofit kits for my cars. Very good service!

John Deere makes a Front Work Light Kit for snow removable at night. You should be able to buy at dealer for around 185.00 or here's a link on ebay.

Not very stylish though, is it?


I would suggest a pair of LED worklights. I have heard many good reviews of the Vision-X Solstice line:

No not very stylish but might work since mounted higher and more out in front I don't know for sure.

The LED lights might be a problem with blowing snow since LED lights do not produce enough heat to keep the snow off of them.

A pair of work lights up on the Cab would work. Maybe like on the sides of the cab at the top.

I've found that's more of a problem with flashing LED's than with steady-burn LED's. My TIR4's I use when plowing with my Dodge seem to stay pretty clear as long as the snow isn't coming down in a whiteout. But the work/spot lights seem to create enough heat that they are able to stay fairly free of snow build up.
