Ken, That isn't as easy as you make it sound. Since the lights normally ground to the tractor's frame, you would first have to insulate the first light's mounting point completely from the tractor. No metal to metal contact whatsoever. That first light would have to then ground thru the second light. At that point, you would have run a wire from the first lights "metal base" over to the second light's 'hot' terminal to have the two in true series fashion. If you just run a hot wire from one light over to the other, you are actually still in parallel and dropping 12 volts to each light because those lights are grounding at their mount. Like Bob says, buy some bulbs. Just my view, Allan
