If your asking how to brighten up the lights so you can safely drive the tractor using 12 volts. the answer is a bit complex. I would leave the lights it has alone and put two forward facing accessory lights from an auto store on the light bars (possibly under the bars) and attach the wire from them to a new 20 amp on off switch with the other terminal of the switch going to a 20 amp fuse. Then attach the other lead of the fuse to the negative terminal of the 12v battery. then I would attach the positive terminal of the battery to the ground. The lights are grounded through their housing. If you need tail lights, purchase a single tail light (or lights) with a single filament and a red lens. Attach their wire to the same terminal on the new switch that connects to the new head lights. Again the ground is through the mounting hardware. This will make lights that last for several hours with a fully charged battery, and will not keep it from running if it does dim down some. Be sure to charge the battery before leaving it in the cold, and attach the battery (maybe in a marine battery box) tied to the drawbar with ratchet straps. I hope this is what you wanted. JimN
