Anyone have a spotlight on their POV?

[Ultimate D]

I am seriously contemplating getting one, and was curious if anyone else has one?

I will be installing one if my next vehicle doesn't have one. It's hard as hell trying to find hidden addresses out here in the woods at night.

If you have a legit use for it why not?

I prefer handheld spot lights, draws less attention.

I prefer anything that is not handheld, primarily because I hate long, coiled, exposed cords.

 

[chief1562]

I use something like one from Jazzdad.


It only has one candle power. :dielaugh:


I was thing about putting one on the Caprice but I didn't have the gasket cutout for the door.


Found one on ebay but the wanted way to much for it.

I wanted to install a unity but decided to not cut into my door frame. I have (2) 210watt fixed off road lights on the roof mounted forward, and a GoLight in the middle that spins all around and up and down. :yes:


Light is good. Very good. :thumbsup:

I appreciate the comments y'all. It will definitely have a purpose, it will not be for looks.. It will be used for locating addresses, etc, and I like that fact that it is right there when you need it. I am not fond of cords everywhere either, and would HATE having to dig it out when I needed it. It is going on a 2004 Suburban in case anyone was wondering.

Mine is an 01 Chevy 2500HD so we would have the same setup. I don't mind some holes, but cutting the door scares me!


The GoLight I have I bought when a member on here had a bunch of army surplus. I also considered one of the Federal (Visibeam?) Remote control spot lights, but the GoLight fits with my other lights better.


If you do get a spotlight, I want pictures!

 

[hitman38367]

I want one of those GoLight Stryker HID models and their Helios thermal imaging camera too!! Those things are badass!!!

 

[Keith K.]

I'd say go for it. I had one on my last truck and it was used all the time.

Definitely!


Well, I guess I am going to get one. I will update soon when I get it. I appreciate everyone's input on this subject!

Do it lol, there extremely useful :thumbsup:l. I have a Unity 100watt halogen on my truck and i love it.

I was bored so i just went out and took a couple quick pics for ya to give you an idea of the light output. Unfortunately it started snowing so the clarity isn't as good as it could be but it gives you a idea. The tree line is roughly 100-150 yards away.

Both headlights and spotlight

Wow! Thank you for taking the time to do that! Looks great! I guess what I like about it, is the convenience, it is right there when you need it.


P.S. I love the clearance lights in the grill. I have been thinking about doing something similar on my brush guard.

No problem :thumbsup: The convenience is great, having the handle with the on/off switch right there is so much easier.

Thank you, i was going for the SVT Raptor look. Its probably one of the easiest mods I've done. I ran to Autozone and they had some 3/4" grommet mount LED's that just popped right into the grille perfectly. Then just grounded them and spliced into the running lights and done.

Hahaha, that is where I seen them as well. Thought it looked good. Wonder if they would fit in the mesh on a Ranch Hand? :undecided:

I'll contribute too, Even though mine's a Vic. They are awesome to have though! it's always sitting there ready to go. I'd highly recommend having one.

I have them on one of my Ford Rangers. The come in handing wheeling at night. I can spotlight tight switchbacks and other areas before I turn in to them, and shine some light on friends trucks if their doing a night time trail repair.

 

[irsa76]

I came close to getting a Unity on my '91 Subaru, car broke down once to often so I traded it.

 

[FireEMSPolice]

Thats sexy!

 

[Kd8bao]

Kinda hard to see but there is a Go-Light on the roof just above lightbar.

 

[nightwolf]

:drooling:


I demand a video!

 

[TritonBoulder47]

In my opinion, the ONLY way to have Unitys... Duals or GTFO!!! LoL

Agreed. If you stand them up on a truck, they just look like an offroad light. If you have off-road lights, you can even slip matching light covers over them. I use to have KC covers for mine.

I have been leaning toward this, ya know... because symmetry.

 

[foxtrot5]

All this is making me want them on my Chevy 1500!

You're welcome!! Hahaha. I'll post pics once I get mine finished on the Suburban.

Couldn't have said it better :haha: One just looks odd. I can't wait to get one on my passenger side :thumbsup:
