I have a 2009 CC GT2542 lawn tractor.
One of the "Head Lights" fell out the other day & when I tried to put it back the socket broke.
I ordered 2 new ones & per the sales man I bought 2 LEDs to put in thinking the heat from the old bulbs hsd made the sockets brittle. I put it all together & it works fine.
Then I got to thinkin, the previous tractor was a JD LT133 & the book said "if a bulb burns out replace it soon as they are a part of the electrical system & the amperage draw is necessary to proper charging of the battery."
Since the LEDs don't draw as much amperes, am I over charging the battery?
Neither tractor had a switch for the lights so they ran whenever the tractor ran.
