Work Light with Switch

[Eman85]

I'd like to put a work light on my 8N. It's 12V and I want one with a switch so I can wire it with the tail light. Any suggestions? LED would be nice.

I wired mine separately. I think there are times you would want you tail light on without the work light. Wired my taillight so it comes on with
the headlights. Work light is wired separately

Well, I've seen some Spot Lights (like on pickup truck Back Racks) that are manufactured with a sealed switch into the light fixture. Of course that doesn't help with the tail light situation.

I don't have a tail light situation, whatever that means. I just want to find a work light with a switch that doesn't cost $100. I can't seem to find one.
As far as tail light goes I want the work light to be powered when the tail light is on. I have a HL switch with 2 positions.

Have a tractor breaker yard around? While not LED, my MF 135 has a rear worklight with switch built in to the housing. Might be able to find something used. Might also be able to put an LED in that housing, though I've never looked.

Drill a hole in the lower area of an existing work light and install a twist-type switch for a table lamp.

That's basically what ''combination'' tractor taillights used years ago.

If you mount it down low enough/pointing nearly downward it will be ''weatherproof''.
