Mike, are you sure on the part number, your 418 should be part number 110792 which supercedes to 99-7310. Anyway, you can get the bulb for about $10
H7610 $10.20 PAR36 Tractor-Trapezoidal Beam 12.8V 50W Screw Terminals C-6 400 Hours from on-line stores. Just do a search for GE H7610.

Karl....
I was wrong....I think.... rolleyes.gif . The parts breakdown gave 2 numbers for headlights and one was 102881 and the other is 110792. RCPW didnt come up with a match so I wasnt able to get a price from their website on the 110792 but your price of $10-$11 sounds good.

Check out http://www.1000bulbs.com/ and in the search box put in H7610, no idea what the shipping will be though.

I wonder if Tractor Supply would carry them?

OK, here's what I found out. The 55 watt driving lights are now mounted in the C520 hood. (Pics will be posted tomorrow) After a few minutes, they get pretty hot. Now bear in mind, these are small oval driving lamps, with not much surface area. They would no doubt melt the original style 160 lense cover, since those tractors never came with a "high intensity" option. Now there is no doubt that I will make that lense removable.
The newer 300, 400, and 500 series use the larger bulbs (more surface area), and some of them came with halogens. To me, that means that the black plastic bezels should be able to tolerate the heat. A 55 watt car headlight does get a little warmer than a conventional style, but not by much.
I've got a not-so-good set of bezels off of the 520, if somebody with halogens wants to try them. If they melt, no loss!
Eldon.... smilin' , and you know why!

I commented on the hood in the other thread, but I have to say it again. That's a great job, Eldon. You want to do my C-141? biggrin.gif

kj4kicks- 11-10-2007
Sure thing ! Let me know what you want done !
Hey, maybe there's a market for customs. What should we call them? Red Rods ?
I love to fabricate weird stuff.

Happened to stop by my local TSC yesterday. I pass it twice a day, so it's hard to resist!
I saw alot of the lights on Karl's chart, but didn't see any of the halogens, so I couldn't get a price.

nylyon- 12-12-2007
Mike, do you have any snow removal equipment on the 417? I'm really curious how much better the lights work in the snow, and tomorrow night would be a good -*test*-('").

shoot, I have a good 8" on the ground out there, and still haven't got the blower around. I find if I just drive back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.....
