30 amps is quite an additional load along with everything else. Think you might be going to far. Have you checked into the HID light available from the dealer. They work very well and do not draw that much current. Sounds like you still have a loose connection. Take the overhead panel out inside the cab requires removal of the screws that hold the visor in place). This will give you access to all the lighting fuses and relays. Your machine might have mini circuit breakers installed rather than fuses. Remove them and reinstall fuses of the same amp rating. Heat builds up in the overhead and causes the circuit breakers to break. While you are there, also check the connections to the grounding stud in this area and also make sure the stud is fastened securely. These have been known to come loose. Might also check all the grounds on the cab in addition to the connectors thru the right side of the cab.

I think we've had minor head light problems with both of our prior 2366's. The lights in the top of the cab are only 35 watt bulbs so they don't put out alot of light, I don't know why they don't use 55 watt bulbs but I guess they can save $10 by using a smaller alternator. I have a pair of 100 watt KC lights on the front of my sprayer and planter tractor and they really put out alot of light, they also pull alot of amps but that's a small price to pay for actually being able to see where I am going.

I think I will check draw when all factory lights are on, then unplug all the front ones except the ones that are on for road travel and hook up my light bar then check load. Even when those lights above the cab are working they are nothing spectacular compared to some of the other manufacturers. The HID lighting is good but big bucks compared to going to a Bosch light bar. Thanks for the help. I will check to make sure I have the fuses and not the breakers.
