They are very nice for lawn tractors but not enough of a "beam&or a tractor. For your lite problem go to NAPA and have them look up the 4 inch sealed beam replacement lamps for Aircraft landing lighs. OHHH momma are they bright. Put them in a four headlight car I used to have and they just blew away any high beams. They kind of look like the old commercial battery hand lantern bulbs for power company lanterns and such.

PS if I remember it is a four digit number like 4509 or some such. Remember your standard car is 55watt. These babys are 100 watt! You can allll... most see into the next county.
These are what I have on my 140, two forward, one rear. My little Hitachi 14231 alt at 83 amps handles them just fine. These are the same lamps used in Piper Cubs for landing lights w/o the air certification. They have a limited life, so they are not for frequent use. I have them for when I absolutely HAVE to snowplow at night or to finish bush-hogging a field for an hour or so in the summer time. They are seriously bright.
I have them split between a forward toggle and a rear toggle. Those toggles are rated at 20 amps and the two 4509's draw 16.6 amps. Each toggle is fused at 20 amps from straight off the ammeter terminal as the load is too much for the key switch. I upgraded the light-wires to home-run 12ga. when I installed the alt. so no problem there, either. Also, 10ga. to the forward toggle from the ammeter and 12ga. to rear. You can absolutely forget the IHC rotary switches at these currents. The LO resistor wire would vaporize.
Jeffcat: I hope you didn't put that car on the road. These things are not aimed and would fry any oncoming retinas.

Today's Featured Article - The Fordson F Ignition System - by Anthony West. A fellow restorer contacted me earlier this year asking for some help and advice on a model F that he was restoring. He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
