LED replacement H3 light bulbs.

Has anyone tried using LED H3 bulbs to get better light output with less current draw. Particularly on a tractor light application for field work.

Is there a good source out there for these light bulbs. I see some online, priced very cheaply, I also wonder if they can be sourced locally I.E. Napa.

Carquest sells them around me, I installed 2 of the 4" inch square ones on my tractor. They worked OK. I also tried a H.I.D. off road light I got a O'Reilly with the Euro-Beam they run on about half the Amps. as Halogen lights. The are a white style color but very nice, it takes a few seconds to come up to full brightness. Mine cost around $ 100.00 dollars per light. Worth every penny when you need to see...

I'd check out Amazon, they gots just about everything including choice/price and free (fast)shipping. HTH

I've experimented quite a bit with H3 bulbs, as I have some H3 lights on my motorcycle. The problem I have is that my driving lights were intended to use 35 watt H3 bulbs, but these are almost impossible to obtain. Stores only carry the 55 watt versions, and these are too hot for the lamps on my motorcycle; the reflectors were getting heat damage. So I tried H3 LEDs. The first ones I tried were from company that made the driving lights. I think they were about 8 watts and far too weak to be useful. So I ordered up some 25 watt versions from Amazon. These are a lot better, but they're very poorly focused. The problem is that the reflectors on H3 driving lights are designed for the tiny H3 bulb, but the LED versions are necessarily much larger. Maybe you want a less-focused light, but my guess is you'll be disappointed with LED H3s if you're not happy with 55 watt halogen bulbs.

There are some more powerful (50W) H3 LED bulbs available now. Maybe they work better, but I've moved on. There are also kits to convert H3 driving lights to High Intensity Discharge (HID). Personally, I'd recommend scrapping the H3 lights and getting something better.

I'd shop aruond at various NAPA's to find a good one. We've had various ones, from OK to mediocre, to poor, but the one we have now is run by 3 or 4 ol' guys who really know their beans, have everytihng, are expanding.

Thanks for the input guys, I was looking for a cheaper alternative to the $100 + LED light that are typically used. Apparently someone knows something, because they spend $150/ea on an led light for ROPS on a tractor.

Does anyone have any alternatives for lighting on a tractor. Right now I have 4x 4411 bulbs in the front fenders and 2x in the back. I need much more light than this in order to be able to safely see at night.

I was thinking of mounting some double bulb H3 lights on my fenders but that's 100w and 8.4 amp draw per light. So I can really only run two lights per relay and I'm trying to get away from this. I have the knowledge to install relays etc, I just was hoping not to.

Joe, Think you should give these a try, two (2) lights should do out front and (1) in back of the tractor (300% brighter than Halogens) each light draws 4.6 Amps. I have them on my truck and tractors. I think you will like them $$. Make sure you get the HID Euro-beam (flood Type). Money will spent!! if I get a chance I will take some pics. using them on my truck compared to the headlights. The ebay add shows ones like I have. check them out,,, a lot of different ones available. Some times the (spot type) are cheaper but the Euro-beam is a better light pattern. I have found that looking for off road lights like H.I.D. and LED light Bars for jeeps,are more resourceful than trying to find replacement or add on tractor lights. ( I have been down that road) A lot of my tractor work especially during spring tillage is done at night, because I work full time and farm (the rest of the time).. Good Luck...
