TW20 Lights

My Hybeams would overheat the switch and blow the built in fuse. So I changed the hi-beams to LED hi beams. Worked great last year. This year the Hibeams wouldn't stay on. If you wiggle the switch, they might come back on for a time, then go off. So to fix that I put new Hibeam LEDs on the low beam side. I also installed an A&I light switch. I didn't like the in line fuses they had on the light switch so I found a 10 ga in line fuse link. So now the Hi beam LED's Don't come on until you wiggle the switch. 2nd question, the low beams had 3 wires. white black and red. I used the red and black to connect the LED's. Would that have any affect? Are the A&I switches bad? Thanks

Sorry, I can't really help. I have a 7700 doing the same thing. Lights work for 5 minutes then go off. My switch (factory ford) gets hot. If i play around with it they'll come back on for another 5 minutes. I know my wiring is messed up - lights moved to top of cab, wire nuts (i hate them), so I think I'm going to go through the wiring and switch when I get time. Maybe try and add a relay. What LED's did you use?

My 7700 had fits with the lights like that years ago.

I think, I believe, it ended up going away when I replaced the switch. Other things I tried had no effect.

I believe went from the original single fuse to a pair of fuses on the new switch.

Just too much draw on that single fuse.

Need to fix up my TW20 too now.... thanks for reminding me....

Well, My lights went to work. I think I didn't have them grounded well enough. For the prior question, they are LED's from abilene machine. the name of the side company is tiger lights. And I like them. I will be replacing all the other lights on the tractor with LED's. Thanks for the advice.
