Were they a direct bolt on?

They were a direct bolt on howerver the lights take a different wiring connector than the factory halogens. I had my tractor at the dealership for a warranty issue so I had them change the wiring terminals. The tech said it only took about 5 minutes per light and they didn't even charge me.
Are your lights vertical or horizontal mounted. I was looking at the 660's and for the life of me could not see how they would mount horizontal like the factory lights, the factory lights have the mounting bracket at the long end base it seems and the 660 is centered.
Absolutely true! I went just the bulb route the first time. While it did work quite well on the Gen 2 2032R headlights, and good enough on the 4720 headlights, it didn't on everything else. Should have just bit the bullet and got the new lights. Replaced All the cab lights with these LED-665/666 Oval LED Light from Larson Lights. Like daytime! Worth EVERY penny, Plus they are direct fit(w/ side ball mount), and plug and play with provided cable. Just make sure to order the right ones. I have a set of 78.00 dollar LED headlights they said would fit my 4720 that don't. Turns out they sent the ones for a 4066.
Those are the exact same ones that are in the JD premium LED kit. You got the floods that go on the fenders. These 64G01 - Trilliant® T26 LED Work Lights | 1800 Lumens, Pendant Mount, Far Flood, w/ Pigtail, 10-48V are the floods that go on top of the marker light guards.I ended up ordering these, same lights on my 2038r. They were 95$ ea and I already had a spare so only needed 3. 1800 lumens, metal housing and looks like the brackets will work

You happy with the 60 and 80 degrees for front and back?
Ecstatic tankerpilot01!! Don't swap out the marker, brake or turns for LED's unless you plan to wire in a resistor. Those will throw an error code. the cab and headlights are almost a must. I'll see if I can find the link for what I bought for the headlights.
Good to know! I was wondering if the Larsen amber ones would work on the four corners of the cab….but I’ll just do the four white “work” lights. Then dig into what you did for the headlights.
Here are the bulbs for the light inside the cab
That's correct Tanker. I don't believe the ECU/BCU/ Dash monitor those circuits, but I never checked the SM schematics to check. Be aware those resistors throw A LOT of heat. That is why I haven't installed them yet, don't know if I am. A lot of work just for LED's, But I do get pretty OCD for some things. I do like my " light Bling". Funny thing is, it took about 2-3 months to start throwing error codes on the 4720. Instantly on the 2032R. Other members on here had no problems with them.Good to know!

Is that because the tractor will tell you if any of the ambers burn out? But it doesn’t “monitor” the work lights and that’s why resistors aren’t needed?

I went with the floods for a better spread on the cab corners. The far floods seem too focused on my 2038, more like a high beam headlight. Been going back and forth on this quite a bit though...
I think you may have convinced me to cancel the grotes and go with larson. I believe the 4066R takes the side mount. # Edit, I have went with the Larsen lighting and attempting to cancel the grotes. Thanks for the recommendation!
I apoligize for the previous post where I stated they were a direct fit. Your question got me to thinking and reminded me that I had to use a bracket from the 7R series tractors to make it fit. The brackets weren't costly but it did take some time to "fiddle" so they looked like stock and worked properly. I did this 5 years ago and my 67 year old memory failed me a bit.
Ha ha no worries! I ended up ordering the larson lights reccomended as they look to be a direct fit. Am trying to cancel my order for the grotes. The Larsen are 4200 lumen vs 1800 for the grotes.
