lighting (1969 3400 diesel utility)

Hi Folks

I put the new lights on, which are these:

(very bright, nice + plus the replacement switch from this site)

And replaced the off-road lights (which are in the picture).

I'm still getting a little bit of SMOKE from behind the regulator (when everything is ON and tractor is running). (I still have the original headlights on the back end with a red light.)

Is it possible, since the lighting/wiring hasn't been used in 30 years, that this is just "crud" burn-off or am I risking the possibility of screwing things up? Nothing, as far as the wiring now even feels warm.

I think I'd pull new wires and re do all connections. you may have a loose or rusty / dirty connection that is getting hot. Also make sure you are not overloading the regulator/generator with electrical load.. it might get warm.
