Toro HDXD tail lights upgrade

We have 3 units . Replaced 2 lights assemblies between all 3 machines in 3 seasons .
You get them all working and after a few bumps one or the other loose a brake light etc . I know who cares it's just golf stuff right until somebody runs into the top dresser bending the spinners . 
Anyhow I like to keep it as I received it for as long as I can . 

Winter work goal … do something about this lighting system

 Cheap see the notch for the pin it wouldn't be a problem if there was one for the other pin !!

Hit a good bump with a loaded box and they bump off loosing contact sometimes .

Only notched for one  pin .

Last time doing this on the top dresser . 

Ordered sealed units from lawsons .


Bulb goes … throw it away and get a new one . new wiring harness just snaps in .



Had to do a little  modification on bracket


Direct soldered wires together . For me it's the only way . So far zero fail . wrap the electrical tap in two directions while its hot . 




Cut the original bracket




Welded to new bracket


Like so


Reinstall


Panicking on the grommet . They finally came in .


Push grommet in then light all the way . 


Bigger … Brighter and fingers crossed no issues . 


Rear LEDs wired off tail lights . 

A pair cost less than one OEM light assembly .
