- - $100 for headlights? (https://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/showthread.php?t=21518)

I've been wanting to get some for my original... I know the lights themselves are easy to get, but the housings? any tips on a close match for these?

:American Flag 1::bigthink:
Hi old149 here
if the mounts are close or the same email me and I will send you the mounts
again the bulbs are the same as all tractors lights
I put square halogen lights in my 149 so you can have these

I usually find them for $2-$15 each for my originals, but I get very lucky and know what to look for. I don't re-sell them as I use them on my originals. However, the IH lights on the old combines is the exact same light from the guide company, that is why some of mine were painted white originally.:biggrin2:

If you want a less expensive way to add lights to your cub, some guys will bolt on a steel tube or bar just behind the grill/front housing and mount lights to it from a Harbor Freight store or something similar. You should be able to add lights to your cub for around $35 or so.

I agree with the others. A hundred bucks is pretty steep for a headlight assembly. I paid $9.00 each for the sealed beams from NAPA that are correct for my Quietline. I bought a hole saw to drill the holes for the grommets that hold the headlights in. I think the grommets were about three bucks a piece.

I know the narrow frame light kits are a bit more complicated, but they should be available from used parts suppliers, such as Chris Westphal's in the sponsors above, or somebody has a roller with a headlight set in it. The want ad is a good idea.

Lights are cool. Good luck with your project.

Which beams did you use from NAPA? One of the headlights on my Quietline is out and after taking it out I realized that it's one big sealed glass piece and couldn't figure out how to replace the bulb...

EDIT:

Nevermind, thanks to Methos for giving me the part # (didn't see that post at first).

Found them on Amazon for $5/piece shipped (2 day if you have prime) for those that are interested: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...ls_o00_s00_i00

I think Chris might have something for me so I have my fingers crossed :)

So Chris has a unit from 147. Anyone try this and put a 147 headlight unit in a 108?

They are not the same. The bezels are, but the panel itself is totally different.
