Dont shoot me for saying this, but I like those lights better than the 4 little OEM factory lights it came with new. |

My little 4 OEM lights are GREAT, only way I'd replace them is with 4 inch LED. The Halogens on the 7016 are like Xray vision, I cant believe you can keep those lights on the tractor, I'd be afraid the brush along my fence line would tear them off. Of course now I'm getting rid of the brush. |

I guess the "bug eye lights" (as my best friend calls them) is one way for the FDT's to rub off on your RBT's. Although, I'd love to get my hands on a 900 series some day!

I took off bug eyes and installed the pod lights even though I had none of the seal beams to go in them. |

My 7016 lights (newer style in hood above grille) are DIM. I may have a grounding issue I need to look further into. Especially since it is my only tractor with lights! :) |

Yep those are the ones, the height is perfect, the length is about a inch long, but no matter, you need to cut off the bolts that hold OEM lights on, their staggered high and low, drill two new holes centered and use round head cap screw, 1 1/2", I think, you'll need some rubber spacers, two different sizes to adjust the angle to the proper field of vision, bigger spacers (1 inch)on the inside bolts, small grommet washer on the outside bolts, THEY ARE BRIGHT |

I like those and the price sounds great! As I am always one that chooses function before fancy, it looks like they fill the bill nicely. |
