KW was indeed a major player in the lighting market. I have, and I believe Duane does also, a
KW tractor lighting book altho it tends to be for somewhat earlier tractors.
We had a very old road grader here that had KW lights on. It was unfortunately consigned or it
would not have left our lot with its lighting system intact!
