this kind of setup would also allow you to add extra utility lights to the machine so forward and off the sides if you needed the extra light but as you said, when everything is a blanket of white that should be plenty of output for clearing a drive/path, pretty sweet little addition
Absolutely! You can get as crazy as you want with the lights. I thought about adding two small puddle lights that would shine down at my feet so I could see where I was stepping too. Thanks for watching!!
Another thing you can do it purchase a can of dielectric grease and fill the female spade connectors, the metal will still make contact and the grease will keep the water out. Edit: I made my comment before 13:46 . Another thing for anyone else following this is to polarize the connectors by putting a male and female on each side, IE male on negative and female on positive on the battery side , with female on negative and male on positive on the LED light bar side, foolproof connection even in the dark. Great minds...
@@dellsdiy It is a notion from my early years working is a car stereo store and from electronics class in high school in trying to idiot proof projects. The only problem is when you idiot proof something, they go and create a better idiot. Another idea would be to use waterproof automotive connectors, more expensive though built for challenging environments, the die electric grease should suffice for this application.
Great video!! Keep some Fluid Film sprayed on your mounting bolts and electrical connections.
Great advice, thanks for that and thanks for watching!
That was a great video.
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!

I love the idea of the male and female connectors on the LED light wires so they can never get mixed up...great idea!! Thanks

Use a bicycle headlight. This is a major production
I appreciate your perspective. Thanks
how would you recommend attaching a bicycle headlight?
It has a locking clamp that can fit on many parts of the snow blower, including the cross beam
I hope that means you liked the video lol!
