A magnetic headlight assembly. The magnetic headlight assembly includes a housing having a light assembly and one or more magnetic coupling mechanisms that can attach the headlight assembly to a working appliance, such as a lawnmower. The magnetic coupling mechanisms allow for the adjustment, attachment, and removal of the light assembly from a variety of working appliances without the need for tools. The light assembly includes one or more light sources that are controllable from a control box that can be selectively activated by a user for improved vision in low and no light conditions. In one embodiment, multiple magnetic headlight assemblies are electrically connected and independently controllable from each other.
