SNOW PLOWING LIGHTING

Here's two different types of magnetic mount yellow caution lights. The large one is a Whelan brand. The small one, a no-name.

MY TWO STORE NEATLY, YEAR ROUND
These lights are generally expensive. I bought a cheap magnetic pair. I put them on for plowing, then stick them back in the cab when not. I wired them, but they came with a cigarette lighter plug. The cords are like telephone cords, self coiling. The wires are 16 ga., they came with tiny bulbs in them. I replaced them with the largest, brightest bulb that fit the socket. I cut the plug ends off, and wired the lights together using a switch on the dash to control them. They even hold a spare bulb inside the dome. Cost? Sixteen dollars each at a local swap meet. I've had them for 4 yrs, and they work great. They've been knocked off a lot by tree branches, but I just get out and stick them back on. If they were permanent mounts, I'd have smashed them to bits long ago.

HERE'S THE PLUG, MOUNTED ON THE TRAILER PLUG GUARD FOR THE TAILGATE SALT SPREADER.
He lost the rubber plug that protects the plug. Bad connections are almost certain when he puts his spreader on.
