The stock Jinma rear work light is a rugged good looking fixture. The illumination it provided is however another issue. Mine reminded me of the light provided by the souvenir flashlight I got at the circus when I was six years old.
I found a set of Euro-style quartz halogen driving lights at a clearance odd lot type of store for $10. They are I believe 50watts each and they measure 3 3/4ins by 2 1/2ins by 2 1/2ins deep.
I removed the socket assembly from the stock light and starting at the now empty hole in the center of the reflector using aviation snips I slowly and carefully created an opening in the reflector for this new self contained quartz fixture to nest in. You don`t use the mounting brackets that come with the lights, no need for them.
When I got it just right I wired it in and closed up the stock fixture. It works great, I now throw light 40 feet behind my tractor instead of 4 feet and I kept the rugged stock light.
The second light laying on top for perspective
Sorry for the focus, Here is the quartz driving light
How it looks
