Default 73 headlight panel

Anyone have close-up pictures of the headlights on a 73? I don't want to spend the money to buy a headlight panel and thought maybe I could make something functional that didn't look too bad. Also, what does the light switch look like?
Thanks,
Jason

on a 124, it's a push-pull type mounted on the left side of the tower. The hole will be there already (small, 1/2").

Hey, as was mentioned, the HL needs a 4.250 "hole to sit in. If you find the center of your panel, measure and mark 3.750" to each side, then find center from top to bottom. w/hole saw on drill press, make your 4.25" holes, I'm gonna try 4 and 3/16" on a test panel first to see finished hole.
then if you have a mig, tac 2"L 10x32 bolts to attach the rings, and thats it.
You can buy the correct retainers if you want factory correctness.
Post pics if you finish before me.

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.
