Navigator NV-802C Utility Off-Road Light

I had bought 4 of these lights, not knowing what the outcome would be, i liked the fact that the ground and positive were ready to plug in, since my old lights broke and were old it was time to upgrade. I said heck why not get 4 of these not knowing they are cheap enough. well turns out they are great! very bright, sturdy (all metal), and has alot of adjustment for different needs. I would suggest these lights to any one.

I got these lights because they were cheap. After I read the rest of the reviews, I knew that they would not be coming with any instructions or wiring components and I was ok with that. All you really need to wire these up is some wire (12 gauge is best), a relay, a switch, and a little bit of time. You'll probably also want to have an inline fuse as well. The real reason I only gave these four stars is because I was hoping they'd be brighter. I mean I bought them more for looks than functionality, but I still wish they worked a little better. They do throw a good amount of light a long ways, but if you mount them on the front of a non lifted truck like I did, the light hits the ground before it spreads out resulting in two circles of light instead of the entire area being lit up. But like I said, I still like them overall because they look awesome and they were under $20 and its easier to wire them up without instructions than you might be thinking.In fact there's a great YouTube video showing how to wire up the relay if you search "Auto Repair & Mechanics : How to Wire a Relay" its the third one down and its 1min 56sec. There's also one where a guy shows how he wired the entire thing at "How to wire in off road lights using a relay" its also the third video down and should be 6min 9sec.

Plenty bright, good for spotting problems--deer, possume, road junk--on long stretches of road (OOPS! I meant OFF-road.). Theya re the same lights I bought and installed 3 years back, which rusted through the chrome in a year or so...didn't realize this until I received them, as they are under a different marketing outfit. But cheap and useful anyhow.

They look pretty good far off light power sucks and they may start to rust. But for the price I could not beat the. So a good buy to bash up!

First of all, I understand these are cheap lights and I do not expect them to be equivalent to $200.00 driving lights.I bought them to install on a 1967 MGB GT, Mostly because they are similar to the era-appropriate lights on old British sports cars.Regardless of what the listing saysTHESE ARE NOT 100-WATT LIGHTS.They are standard 55-watt halogen lamps just like the kind that are in the typical driving lights you buy at Walmart or auto parts stores.UPDATE 06-07-2913:The Product description now accurately describes them as 55-watt lamps but theProduct Information section of the listing describes them as 100-watt.HOWEVER, the product summary at the top of the listing says the item as coming with an NV-H3K-100-watt lamp which is also not correct. It comes with a NV-H3K 55-watt lamp.The good:* They are attractive chromed lights. A little thick but still good looking.* They are cheap.* The rubber sealing around the lenses seems to be fairly decent quality.The not so good:* The chrome is very thin. They will rust quickly if not waxed frequently or clear-coated (which defeats the point of having chromed lights)* They have very little up and down adjustments (more on that later)* The beam collimation is okay but the lower than advertized wattage means the reach of the beams is not what they should be. In fact, they are not very bright at all!* No installation instructions, wiring or relays. Just two wires coming out of the lamps with bullet connectors.* The mounting system allows a lot of "shake" from the lights even if you crank them down really tightly.55-watt, not 100-watt lampsThe problem with the adjustment:Unless you are mounting these on a nearly level surface there is very little upward adjustment. If there is the slightest downward slope (if top-mounting them) to the surface, such as a downward-curving bumper, your lights will shine down on the ground and you will not be able to adjust them upwards sufficiently for them to be useful.To mount these on the small rounded bumper on my MGB I had to disassemble the lamps and grind additional metal off of the mounting base to allow the lamp to pivot upward more.If you are mounting them on the rollbar of a pickup, for example, they will probably have enough adjust-ability to point downward sufficiently.Also mounting them on the underside of a bumper will probably require no additional modifications.I understand that my car is not the typical installation for these lights but the mounting system is just not very good.ADDITIONAL WARNING:The little chrome flex tube that the wires come out of had very sharp edges on my lights. Not a good thing for power wires to be rubbing on sharp metal. Check yours and file them smooth or they could short out and cause electrical damage or even a fire!Are they worth the money? I would have to say yes.Would I purchase them again? Probably not.But I bought them with the expectation that they would at least work and will not be needed for more than a year or two.

The lights arrived in a timely fashion and with necessary hardware though the casing said they were 55w bulbs not 100w like online. either way it took some work to get them installed since it was already a tight fit to begin with but the work great when driving at night to light up a long dark section of road. I would recommend these as a great budget light and wouldn't even consider paying the extra cash for a brand name light.

Bought 2, just for the housing. Painted them gloss black. and put 55 watt HIDs in them, slim ballasts are the only ones that fit. so 70$ total cost and have 2 HID 55 watt hid off road lights. Not bad at all considering the HID ones are like 100 each for 35 watt ones. The factory bulbs are ok, just not as good as HID ones. So do as I did, gut the insides and replace. Paint them or they will rust the chroming on these is crud. but for the price its a steal. I'll put up a picture when I get a chance to go into the back woods again. planning on getting 2 more when i get the time.

Awesome lights, can't beat the value. I ordered a similar light, similar price, only a dollar cheaper and there is no comparison, this one wins hands down. The wires have terminals already on them, the other did not, and this has a cover that fits tight, other did not, I would pay the dollar more this this anytime. I ordered one of these, loved it and cancelled the order on my other light to buy another one of these. I got 2 of them and love them.
