Ford 8N original light housing with LED

Scott1ky · Sep 6, 2020

I’m looking at installing LED lights inside the original Ford 8N
housing canister. My tractor is 12 volts. I’ve found some 5-3/4”
lights at various sources online, but don’t know if the housing
depth at the center is an issue. Has anyone else been down
this road?
Thanks

Actually I did, got the lens and reflector on amazon for cheap.
Its a tight fit getting the clamp on but it will work, it's been a while since I put them together so I'll take another look at them tomorrow and post again to your question.... just getting the engine back together now.

Great thanks! Glad to know it can be done without eliminating
the original buckets.

I had another look at the headlight buckets today and got a measurement, there is 1-1/4 of space between the back of the bucket and back of the reflector.
There is a rubber cup that attached to the back of the reflector but its not in the pictures, I will have to be creative in getting a led bulb to fit but Im not too concerned about it now.
If you want the info where to get them let me know I had my nephew switch the original 6 volt generator over to 12 volt to retain the original look so not alot of amps available for halogens
