Default LED lights on a quiteline

Has anyone replaced the sealed headlights on QL cub for the new round LED sealed units? Currently am doing a bunch of mowing at dusk/dark, and looking for some opinions and options for getting a brighter lamp but remaining some what stock. Thanks

You can. NBD. Have you priced them?

I mow/push snow after dark all the time and I have no issues seeing with the stock lights...... Maybe they are just old and need replaced. Lets see, $9 for standard bulbs..... $30 for LED's..... I promise, they aren't that much better.

Ive used the stock headlights in my quietlines as well as a few narrow frames and to be honest they light up just as good if not better then the low beams on my datsun pickup (also sealed beam) I have seen some aftermarket led running/fog lights and they dont impress one bit....

I'm not sure if these would work but I think they like them over on WFM. Why is it all the Deere guys get the good stuff?

They won't work on a Cub anyway; they are just for John Deeres

Here's some LED's that are a direct replacement for the stock 4411 bulbs. Performance seems to be GREAT, however...$110 each!!

They seem to be great, but again; nobody wants to pay $110 for a single darn light.

I also have no issues with the stock lights. The look great and work great. One more thing that's not broken that doesn't need to be fixed.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
