Aristo-Craft Snowplow Headlight LED Changeout.

The OEM bulb is removed replaced with the 5mm LED.
The red lead was soldered to the positive side of the
LED. Black to negative. Both leads were soldered as
close to the bulb itself as a heat sink would allow. About
3/8 inch. A small dab of hot glue forced between the
bare leads acts as insulation or heat shrink can be used.
|
The light was tested with 2 AA Alkalines (3VDC). It
worked.
|
The LED is inserted in the barrel with the wires fed
through the hole, lens inserted and pressed snug against
the LED, the bracket screwed on and the unit became a
headlight again.

The battery holder is hot glued to the underside of the
plow and is placed on the diagonal so the batteries
could be easily changed. The switch was placed easy
access. Because the LED drain is very low, the
batteries should last for months with the limited use
given.

|
The whole thing is put back together and
tested to make sure everything worked.
|
|
It did.
