Is the John Deere LED light package worth the £600 extra over the halogens? 18 Lights in total, all go LED with the package.

I didn’t bother with led light on mine 2 years ago. I’ve not thought I wish I had either. I think they were a lot more back then tho. I think just belt line led were £150

Yes I've got a few halogen on mine but mostly led and the halogen are like candles by comparison.
The 20 and 30 series halogen were good but the R need led

Apologies, the £600 only gets you 14 LED’s, the two belt line ones are another £150. Which seems disproportionately expensive!

2or 4 belt lines? Isn’t there usually 2 front 2 rear?

LED’s are certainly better, I have them on a Case and the price doesn’t sound that bad, local contractor said they quoted £1800 for a full set a couple of years ago on a JD, he didn’t have them.

It’s a lot cheap to spec them on a new tractor, will probably cost more in labour than the lights cost to buy when fitting them at the dealership.
