Nilight LED Lightbar Installation

[@daviddaw999]

I love the way you choose the better way of doing things, and not the easier way. Great job Paul.

[@7863348]

Thanks. Dad always said I took the long way around lol.

[@andreaskonig2745]

Paul's professional tips are the best. I award him the title: of a honorary "Doctor of Kubota and municipal technology's" - i wish you all the best from Germany and thank you for the stickers.

[@7863348]

Lol. I love hearing from my good friends in Germany. Thank you for your kind comments. Happy you received your stickers.

[@harleycarter1955]

LEDs are great and use a lot less power for the amount of light you get. Great JOB Paul & Kathy.

[@grumpy1311]

It must be a LED light bar season! 😄 I just put a Rigid LED bar on my headache rack on the truck... and it's extremely bright! This technology has allowed the lobster boats around here to have very powerful lighting without the addition of a dedicated diesel generator, used only to run high-wattage HID lighting. With LED lighting the generator is unnecessary as the normal charging system is able to keep up. I nearly live with an LED headlamp on that in combination with a lithium ion battery is a dramatic Improvement over battery life and the weight of the unit. Keep up the good work!👍

[@brettg2413]

I used a smaller light bar version on the ROPS of my BX with the same type of harness. Bright, easy to install and adjust. Thanks for another great video.

[@nathanbrodeur]

Sounds like a nice company that they are willing to video there testing and show people that the product actually works

[@m2hmghb]

I've learned that you can paint the clips that hold the cable ties to match. I got tired of them being white on a black background and used some spray paint for plastics on them. Great job as usual Paul.

[@mrfrog3350]

We put a 12" spot/flood LED bar on my nephews tractor last year for snowplowing. The improvement over the factory headlamps was like night and day.

[@7863348]

I’m sure it’s amazing. Makes you wonder how you got by without it in the past.

[@terryluebbe2560]

Another fine and helpful video Paul and Kathy. Quite a delight to watch the Modfather install the same light bar that I recently purchased for the ROPS of my little tractor. (My bar is only 12 inches.) I had already figured out the wiring, but it was nice to see you confrm my suspicions. I have to point out, since someone else is sure to, that the positive wire from the light looked awfully red on my TV. :-) Thanks for posting.

[@7863348]

Thanks. I’m not sure what you mean about the red wire but I’ve had many led lights from China that those wires weren’t standard colours. Most I’ve seen were black and white and in some cases the black was the positive wire. Not American standards. That’s what I meant.

[@terryluebbe2560]

Paul & Kathy Short: When you pointed out that the polarity of the wires were nicely labeled, you mistakenly said the positive wire was white. No harm done, since if folks follow your good advice and check the lables, they will get it right. BTW, I can attest to the durability of these Nilight products. While aligning the mounts to the brackets in my ROPS, I dropped them. They crashed off my hitch and onto my garage floor. The light survived with only a small nick in the paint on one corner. I was very impressed with their ruggedness. Love your videos, and plan to order some of your merch. (Gotta get some stickas.)

[@7863348]

Well I sure don’t remember it lol. Goes to show nothing is rehearsed and not much editing is done. Some days it’s shoot and go. I never watched the video but it’s strange I’d say white when there were only two wires. One black and one red lol. Brain fart I guess 😉

[@michaelbradley8508]

Great video, great mechanical work, great video work.... Very impressive. Without question you have technical knowledge that is learned, but you are also very gifted. This is a very pleasant combination for the rest of the world to benefit from.... God Bless Both of You MB

[@sefaucon3839]

Well done , really give us the gust to do things like that on our side !!!!! See, /// show me , don't tell me //// did the trick again !!!! 1 soup for Paul. Negative comments are not welcome here = got it !!!! I like you two Serge ( from Mtl )

[@denebuff]

Paul & Kathy I found your channel from Net Tractor Talk and very much enjoy your video, I'm the owner of my very first Kubota RTV500 purchased new last month. And would love to add a light bar!!

[@7863348]

Thanks Denny. Congratulations on your new rtv. Your going to love it. Yes the led light wotks well on them. Thanks for watching.

[@leol1682]

Love those Kubota and a perfect job Paul & Kathy

[@sixosixo]

Another great, high quality video from Paul and Kathy. Much appreciated! Awesome info!

[@Chiefbuzzbee]

I found out it has been way to long that I just sat down and watch me some Paul and Kathy KZbin. I have really miss seeing and hearing you folks. But the good News is I have a bunch to get caught up on. Time is passing so fast I want to Wish you both and Family a Merry Christmas and a Blessed New Year !

[@7863348]

Thanks Jerry. Since starting Specialty Repairs Custom Mods life has been going fast forward. Hardly any time to do regular videos anymore but very thankful for our success. Merry Christmas to you and your family my friend. God bless you and keep you safe.

[@acanadianineurope814]

Paul, I'm moving to Newfieland and opening an LED light shop.. right next door to you ! :-)

[@offgridsweden]

Great video and tutorial. Going to put extra lights on my Kubota tractor. Greetings from Andreas on Off Grid Sweden

[@7863348]

Thank you Andreas. I hoe everything is going well in beautiful Sweden.

[@MarkG-up6wh]

Great light install Paul. Hi Kathy :) Keep having fun folks.

[@eddiekawecki2510]

Nice install! You've proven your investment in all your quality tools and machines for the business and knowing how to use them efficiently really pays off. Thank for the videos. Ed K. Cleve. Oh.

[@7863348]

Thanks Eddy. We appreciate it. Very nice of you.

[@normandesrosiers3737]

You do nice work Paul and Kathy

[@davidwarden4350]

Love the led lighting projects guys. I’m addicted to um. Thanks as always......

[@chrislawrence8141]

Another very informative and entertaining video. I have started upgrading my Mahindra to led much better than OEM

[@7863348]

Amazing difference for sure. Good luck.

[@photocontrol]

Very nice install,a big improvement compared to the original halogen lights.

[@KiotiCS]

Paul it looks great nice job very nice light bar will check them out hope you and Kathy have a great week take care and God Bless !! Curt :-)

[@TheCaptaintoby]

Nice work Paul / Kathy.

[@denebuff]

Hi Paul I have a RTV 500 with a V4321 PLASTIC CANOPY and I'm going to order Nilight 39Inch 252W LED Work Light Bar and a wiring harness, I have a few questions if you can lead me it the right direction, the RTV has a spot on the dash more like a blank for a Switch for off and on what Harness part should I order? And how do I get the metal brackets that you fabricated for the mounting the brackets that come with the light bar. I wish I lived closer to your shop!! Lol Please keep doing what you and Kathy do absolutely enjoy your very informative videos. I wish Kathy had zoomed in on the brackets on the roof of the Kubota. Respectfully Denny G.

[@volpswagen_marco]

I’m new here. Just subscribed today. All I can say is Holy Cow Batman! What in the world is that iron worker machine? WOW!

[@7863348]

Cool. Thanks for your sub. Yup that ironworker is something else lol.

[@gopha533]

Good job bloke. Even I could follow that demo. Ha! Very neat as usual.

[@Swade177]

Nothing like using a LED light ti install a LED light! Haha...very nice neat & tidy job. Congrats!!

[@bradolsen9981]

Paul I want you to know how much I appreciate your KZbin page you have all these remarkable skills and experience but I need to ask you one crucial thing home would you put a square peg in a Round hole?

[@dmmartin1958]

Checked out the site, found a nice light bar for the front of my B7500.

[@richleviness4621]

I have a 22 nillight under the bumper for a back up light works great no issues.

[@OakMountainAcotts]

Hi Paul, I just purchased an x1100c and the dealer installed halogen work lights. I have some LED work lights that I want to replace them with but I need the proper connectors to plug into the kubota pre-installed harness. You wouldn’t happen to have a link to the proper kubota connectors for Amazon would you? Thanks for the help, Jason

[@7863348]

I have never found OEM connectors and I’ve tried. I simply remove the connectors from the OEM lights and solder them onto the led lights. Much better lighting and well worth the effort.

[@OakMountainAcotts]

@@7863348 thanks for getting back to me. That’s what I ended up doing as well.

[@mischef18]

Bit of light entertainment before bed, nice one. ATB to you both

[@7863348]

Hi Ken. The customer was sure happy to see how bright the light was. It’s a nice machine. It’s got AV as well. Good for where you are. Hope your doing well my friend. Goodnight.

[@mischef18]

Yeah not bad thanks, lightning put out internet out a week ago and taking some time to catch up as it is painfully slow now. No fiber down our street so that is not an option.

[@dougdickey7381]

Great video...i have a new RTV1100 and have been looking for a nice install video for lights. I really need some safety flashers for snow plowing as I have to come out onto a busy road to plow some of my drive way....

[@steelfist65]

I have been looking for some lighting to roof mount to my JD Gator for night plowing. They have some nice, very affordable lights!

[@Jeff_369]

Very nice install Paul as usual!!!

[@illdill44]

Did you connect the nilight wiring harness directly to the battery?

[@gregsmith1864]

Thanks for the video. Nice clean install - beautiful!

[@7863348]

Thanks Greg 👍

[@09ThomasEF]

Wow, that couldn't have worked out better!

[@shotgunrcaf7302]

Awesome work as usual Paul.

[@rwutube]

Did you drill mounting holes in the roof mounting plates? What did you use to waterproof around your mounting holes?

[@7863348]

That’s an old video and my memory isn’t that great these days but I used existing threaded holes and I made the new mounting plates. As for weatherproofing this sort of thing I always have a little bit of marine silicone or liquid to apply on the bolts. That’s about it.

[@Matthewstevenss]

What is the second slot for in the headlight seems like a bigger build

[@johanbos160]

Very nice video paul i like it 👍

[@sesnc2145]

Nice video. I hope Nilight appreciates you. I will be buying a light or two from them. Question, what holds the switch in the dash? Does the switch have the typical "press in" clips on the sides?

[@7863348]

Thank you. Yes press clips

[@gregtolbert2681]

Paul, do you happen to remember what thickness steel you used to make the brackets? I need to make three because my RTV has never had any lights up top and I don't have any oem brackets to go by.

[@7863348]

I would most likely went with 1/8th. 1/4 would have been overkill.

[@sledneckrob]

Jesus, you turned that on the first time, my teeth turned a shade whiter....LOL now you have to change the heads over.

[@normangallant9879]

Another good job.Keep up the good work

[@donallen7254]

Where can those brackets be purchased or do you dimensions so I could have made?

[@spencerrussell2622]

Hi Paul, are these lights made curved and would they be good to go on the bumper of my truck?

[@547Rick]

Very nice upgrade!

[@lostnation5348]

Nicely done. Thank You for sharing.

[@ramosel]

So does the original light switch still have function in the system beside the top cab lights?

[@7863348]

No it’s not used but could be if the owner wanted to use it.

[@upandadam9080]

As always nice vid! Curious as to what brand/ model your under hood light is that you used? Looked very handy to have....

[@7863348]

Thanks. Best light in the shop. www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2125-21xc

[@torstenbrunke4026]

Only reading the instructions isn't enough... Understanding is the keyword.

[@fredmackay7896]

Great video, just got my 1100c, interested in your ironworker. Is there a seller in Atlantic Canada? I'm in Cape Breton, it looks like a very handy machine, thanks and Merry Xmas!

[@7863348]

Just Google Edwards Ironworker for Canada and there should be a distributor. Thanks for watching. Happy Holidays.

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Holy Smokes thats a good lot of light!

[@marklengal9990]

Paul. Any idea for led light for the inside cab of a tractor? No existing lights now

[@7863348]

Look at RV lighting. Plenty of interior led lighting for rv’s that would be great for tractors.

[@timberridge1997]

Could you provide a link for the exact light bar you ordered?

[@7863348]

I wouldn’t remember that. This video was done three years ago.

[@brucewilmot7950]

you tack mony orders for t-shert?

[@kevinfinney8849]

clean install nice system!

[@onebadsavage26]

I just bought an "offshore" version of this. It looks virtually identical right down to the harness. Not great quality. The 10MM mounting bolts were too short and stripped out the first time I tried to tighten them. On another note...The headlight/turn signal switch on this Kubota is identical to the switch on my Mahindra tractor...I wonder if they use the same parts bin?

[@7863348]

I used many off shore lighting. Some great some aweful. This one was great. Loved the quality. I’ve had stuff sent to me that I've refused to even show on video. Wow on the headlight switch.

[@brucewilmot7950]

cool good job good.and on horse buggy

[@guntherflume7129]

You need a m12 hacksaw ?

[@7863348]

Got two of them but they are m18

[@peterkober6758]

Paul Kathy good video the kind we like fab is my game PaK

[@dmmartin1958]

Will it harm to tap into the headlight wiring harness and then unplug the headlights and use the light bar?

[@7863348]

I wouldn’t do that. The oem wiring might not be carrying the amperage needed to run the new lights and cause issues all the way around.

[@dmmartin1958]

Thanks for the heads up. saved me from making a mistake.

[@marvinwegner6119]

Dave if you check the fuses value for the original light and it is the same or higher the original harness will handle it fine.

[@dmmartin1958]

What about using the Head light wire to power a relay? I wish you use the original light switch on the Kubota.

[@7863348]

The harness is meant to go to the battery as the instructions indicated. If you chose to splice in elsewhere you run the risk of overwhelming the area in which you tapped into. This wasn’t intended to be a “how to video” . It was intended to demonstrate the installation of the light which included the light, the supplied switch and the wiring harness.

[@johnirwin1837]

Nothing bad about led's on off road vehicles, but I hate them on the new car/trucks and on vehicles that people have retro fitted. Especially a 4x4 with bigger tires as they blind me on our country roads. I have to stop and let them pass. Some times I even have to stop for on coming cars. They may be find from behind the steering wheel, but from in front they are bad for me coming at them.

[@chrismills4213]

Guess I'm the first one to see this. :-)
