2X26 headlights flickering

I have a 2X26 that I have had only 3 years. Got it ready for the season and when I started it the headlights came on and as engine got up to speed they started flickering and went off and stayed off. Does this every time I start it. Had no issues last year. Did some quick checking and it appears to have a steady 12v AC at the harness connector to the lights while running but lights don’t come on. Any suggestions? Would like to find a wiring diagram too.

The lights on cub cadets just die. They all do. If you have the two lights on the console, they need to be replaced. I think its why cub cadet moved to the light that bolts to the auger housing so quickly from them

They are LED’s so hard to believe they are dying already. Plus they both flicker at the same time. Not one over the other. Has to be the feed but no idea where to look. When they are off, they show a good path to ground. And since they are AC powered not sure where to look. Used it today and they worked part of the time during about an hour and a half use.

Some LED lights are/were just junk. They've improved exponentially over the years but unfortunately manufacturers' parts are lined up way in advance, missing out on a lot of the most recent improvements. Also... as we all know the lowest bid often gets the job.

Search... AC/DC LED replacements are readily available, perhaps with slight modifications required.
