Hi all, we just got our first x1100c and are loving it so far. Has anyone done any work with installing better interior cab lights that worked well for them?

Welcome to the forum and congrats on your new RTV!

Don't have a cab on mine so I can't say what's best for your machine but on my cab-less 900, I installed a Warn trail light (like what you would put on the front of an ATV) in the top/rear/center of the passenger compartment.

Hi JRA. Thanks for jumping right onto the site supporter bandwagon and welcome to our little corner on the interweb.

Congrats on your new RTV x1100c You will love it. These puppies are workhorses.
No cab on mine so no ideas for interior light.
Enjoy and post often.

Try changing the interior dome light bulb to a LED light- made a lot of difference when I did. Picked this up on Amazon.

Good idea blue comet.
This link takes you to a lot of map / dome light offerings.

Welcome to the best Forum on the net. I have RTV 1100 that I equipped with several interior lights. All LEDs. I used the color red, to help preserve night vision. Two LED's are mounted up under the dash- lights up the floor area to assist getting in/out. Another light is on the interior roof. Small LEDs don't draw much current. Add switches with inline fuses. Keep in mind all that glass wiil reflect any visible light units and could be distracting. Duct tape your lights where you think you want them before mounting them permanently . Also, don't drill ANY holes in the roll bar structure.
Welcome again and good luck.

Great information all. I will checking out the dome change out, and be looking into the LED options by Keifer.

Thanks all

Just remember we will gladly help you spend you money on your Kubota. I've spent alot from following this forum. But I wouldn't change a thing. Great info here.

My new LED interior lights

I’m not 100% complete yet, but I have my interior LED lights installed. RBG LED so any color in the spectrum for interior illumination. .

Very cool looking jra3193. On mine I just need a light strong enough to see everything in the cab and read some directions. I may have to do some changes.

and read some directions.

OK, my curiosity is piqued. How far do you travel where you need directions? I don't think I've driven mine more than 3 miles from home.

I was tired of losing gloves and tools on the floorboard at night. We sometimes check cattle late and over the past really cold spell it was not good. $ 20 LED strips from Amazon and install about 15 mins.

I upgraded the dome light to LED, but I may have to go with a higher output on that. I do like that dome you have Old Man 1944
