Gentlemen, I have a set of headlights for my S50X ztm, It states in the instructions to plug in the existing wires to the new light switch, now my problem is I can't find the orange and black wires that are supposed to be pre-installed from the factory.
I have looked everywhere, I even opened up the wiring harness and there are no extra wires in there.............Help!

Wiring Schematic - 26hp & 27hp - Briggs & Stratton SNAPPER 5900731 Parts Manual [Page 42] Let us know if this helps or not.

Mark, Thanks for the diagram, it shows the auxiliary plugs, but they don't seem to be on my mower and they are supposed to be there.
I may have to go to Snapper for this one.

Tech. support number: 1-800-744-8650 Let us know how it goes, thanks.

Fellows, I contacted Snapper Pro and they looked up my serial number and they had on record my headlight purchase.
The tech support told me that the dealer ordered the wrong headlight assy.
They sent me a copy of the catalog page that had the correct number and the sheet that showed the complete installation, and they did all this within a couple of hours.
What great tech service, I have never seen service like this especially in these troubled times, I even feel better about getting a Snapper mower.
Hat's off to Snapper!
Sincerely, Ron

I glad you are happy with the tech support from Snapper, is good to hear Snapper is keeping customers happy. Did you install the light then? Maybe you could post some pictures.

Hi Wingstrut!

I'm glad your experience was so great! We're very happy to help, and I would also love to see some pictures of your new headlights.

If you have any other questions you can also reach us on FaceBook at www.facebook.com/snapper.

Looking forward to those pictures!

My dealer re-ordered them, hopefully I will have them soon, I will post photo;s

Good, Can't wait to see them.

Sorry for not getting this project done, this time of the year is very busy and I haven't had time to install my headlights, plus mowing season is basically over, even in the south.
I started out to the shed twice and got sidetracked both times.
I'm busy with getting my 1950 chevy 3100 truck ready for the rod runs this year, plus painting the house, I will do my best to get the headlight installation done before Christmas.

Sounds like you have a lot on your plate. We'll be waiting.

Well Fellas, I finally got around to it, it took me every bit of 30 minutes, I should have done it sooner. Sorry
You basically bolt the headlights to two holes already in the front of the mower then run the wire along the frame, the instructions show a diagram.
Install the switch and connect a ground wire to the frame.
These suckers are bright, I will send a photo when I get a chance to take one at night.
The only problem was a connector of some type in the line that was not mentioned and was not connected to the circuit, I had to put a fuse like the type that are in the modern cars and trucks to make the circuit.

I can't seem to get my photo's to this site, as soon as I can figure it out I will print them.

Great, we'll be waiting for them pictures.

I attached the wiring to the main wiring harness to be sure it wouldn't come in contact with any moving parts.
The ground lug was supposed to be grounded to the frame, but couldn't find the place the instructions showed to attach it, so I attached it to the engine.
The lights are adjustable up and down just by moving them with your hand, there are four indents that you can set them to.
The lights are very bright, I was expecting the typical lighting that comes with most mowers, they glow rather than project light, these guys do a respectable job.
Now that I have figured out how to supply photos I will send a night shot as soon as I get the chance................Ron

I bought a seven thousand dollar john deere, and when I turned on the headlights, was I disappointed, it was like lighting a candle, pretty sad.
I have a Kubota B2620 tractor that is a little better, but not much. I don't know why these manufacturers can't do better with their lights.
