Tricky one Dave! Even though I know LED is a diode and obviously polarity matters, I wouldn't have thought of this. Nasty bug!

Another thing to watch for with these LED lights is that our tractors don't always have the nicest looking DC coming out of the voltage regulator and it can burn the LEDs quickly. Ask me how I know :giggle:

Yes I have to run into that . Fortunately this tractor the power for the light is buffer by the battery by the way it is wired . The outlaws are coming up Wednesday , so we will see if he likes it enough to take it home . If not up for sale she goes .
