Default XT2 Enduro series 42” one headlight flickering ?

Hello All , this is my first post , thank you in advance for any help you can provide on this .
I bought this new in 2018 . It’s done my very well to date . So a couple weeks ago the right front headlight started flickering while cutting . Without running and with the key on it lights fine leading me to believe its vibration induced .

Looking at the wiring and what I’ve read , you must replace the complete harness and lights included ?
My question is : can the small wires going into the back of the headlight (led) be removed or serviced ? The left headlight (working flawless) is fed from the flickering (right side) which tells me there is a constant make or break on the provided power or ground going into the problem bulb ..

Thank you

1. Remove the flickering bulb from it's socket.
2. Inspect the bulb contact and socket contacts for corrosion. Clean as necessary.
3. Replace bulb in socket and test.
4. If it doesn't flicker, HOORAY, you fixed it.
5. If it still flickers, swap the bulbs, right to left, left to right.
6. If the flicker follows the bulb, replace the bulb.
7. If the right still flickers, report back.

Ok thanks . I thought bulb was like a solid state type of bulb and not a replacement individual unit ?

My bad. Looks like no bulbs but L.E.D.'s
Doesn't look swapable. but you should still first look for a loose or dirty connection on the one that is flickering.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
