Nilight LED Light Bar 2PCS 60W Flood Spot Combo

Installed on roll bar mounts in front of the mirrors on my Honda TalonR. Lights work great for flood, the spot throw is not very long but I bought these to be flood lights. have washed the machine several times and no water intrusion as of yet. I hope they last as they work great for the price.

Review for a set of Nilight LED 60W 4-inch Flood Spot Combo Auxiliary with Harness Kit – installed Jan. 2023 on a 2017 Toyota Rav4 XLE.

VIDEO: Low beams alone (factory Sylvania Halogen bulbs) vs. low beams plus Nilight 60W flood/spots.

This is my third set of LED auxiliary lights. I installed two other sets of LED auxiliary lights on another vehicle using a pre-packaged light kit (lights, relay, harness, switch). This set is the first set installed on my Rav4.

I installed these directly to the Rav4’s battery, running the harness through the firewall and adding a Toyota factory-style in-dash switch for a factory installed look. I installed the lights under my bumper using bolts on the underside of the bumper so that I would not need to drill holes. I didn’t use the Nilight red on/off switch. I adjusted the lights against a wall to ensure proper alignment prior to the first use.

My initial impression while unboxing is that these lights are well made, the LEDs appear to be a combo of flood and spot LEDs and the harness seems more than sufficient for the job it needs to do.

I purchased these combo spot/flood lights most importantly for the spot feature to get more down-the-road reach as compared to my low/high beams on dark, unlit roads, and secondly to get some additional close-in flood light to the side of the vehicle to illuminate the shoulder and sides of the road as well as to widen the illumination while turning.
Light quality – Flood Illumination: These lights are rather bright, VERY, VERY white (compared to non-LED factory headlight bulbs, i.e., Sylvania Halogen bulbs. The flood beam pattern is intense and circular/oblong directly in front of the car with some spill to the side of the vehicle doing a very nice job illuminating directly in front of the car and a decent job illuminating the side of the road. The flood portion field of view is wider than low beams, with the majority of the intensity concentrated directly in front of the car, with acceptable reach. High marks for the floods.
Light Quality – Spot Illumination: The spot beam pattern is muddy, poorly focused, and definitely not a “pencil beam”, with not much intense reach beyond the low beams. The pattern seems to illuminate everything, including the trees on both sides of the road. Low marks for the spots.

Installation of Wiring Harness: First, Nilight makes a great harness (I have 2 installed). The harness is very well constructed, with heavy-duty plastic shielding, high quality fuse holder and components. However, I was rather surprised and disappointed that I needed to extend the leads to one light by almost 12-inches. I might understand if I had a full-size pick-up truck, but I have an average sized crossover SUV. The light leads need to be longer. The lead from the main harness to the relay is also WAY too short, by about 12 inches. I didn’t want to drill a hole in the engine compartment, so I was able to barely reach the only nearby battery frame bolt to mount the relay on. The relay lead needs to be at least 12 inches longer than the batter height to give installers some options on relay placement. The wire to the on/off switch was just barely long enough to reach from the firewall (left foot) to the dash switch blank, just inches to the right of the steering wheel. If you plan to mount your switch near the center of the dash you will probably need to extend it by 12-18 inches. Very low marks for the harness. Order one of Nilight’s longer harnesses separately or the extension kit and save yourself some a headache.

Installation of the Lights – Brackets and Ability (Inability) to Mount: The mounting bracket included with the set limits the range of installation options. It was not similar to the brackets included in my other two (cheaper) sets. The other sets allowed enough room to be installed in areas that are not completely flat, which these days, most vehicle bumpers are not. With the Nilghts, unless you are mounting to a 3”x3” flat area (square bumper, flat surface, etc.), you will need to modify or fabricate mounting brackets.

I installed mine under the bumper using a bolt on a underside of the bumper. The bumper mounting bolt I used is indented in the curved underside of the bumper. Due to the install location, the included light bracket would not sit flat nor allow proper adjustment of the lights. Luckily, I had a couple old brackets from older LED lights that I had replaced after one failed. Strangely, the cheaper ($15) 18-watt Nilight similarly styled light set does include an almost exact bracket to the one I used from the old set. It allows for an easier and wider range of installation surfaces and also allows for more adjustability. No idea why they don’t include the more useful bracket with their more expensive lights.

Installation of the Switch: If you are willing to drill a hole somewhere in your dash, the red on/off switch is both ideal and plug and play. I have one in my RV and it is easy to use and high quality. The switch light when on is not too bright nor distracting. However, I wanted a Toyota in dash, factory-style fog light switch for a factory-installed look. I had an unused dash switch “blank” so my factory switch fit perfectly. For some reason, the Nilight on/off switch uses hard(er) to find (smaller) spade connector terminals. I checked three auto parts stores and Home Depot for a male connector that fit the harness terminals. They all carried larger sizes (as did my tool chest) but not the size needed. Therefore, I had to cut off the harness terminals and use another type of connector. Again, sad Nilight didn’t use a more standard connector for customers that use different switches that use the most common sized terminals.

The Pros: 1) Low cost, 2) good design and construction, 3) very bright white flood beams, 4) high quality harness.

The Cons: 1) Rather poor quality spot beam pattern, 2) short harness leads that needs multiple modifications to add additional extension splices causing a higher risk of failure, and making the install more time consuming and complex, 3) poor mounting brackets.

BOTTOM LINE: I would think these lights would be ideal for slower moving vehicles, such as 4-wheelers, tractors,
mowers, etc., or for lighting a stationary work area from a work truck. These might fine as floods but may not be the best if you truly need a combined flood with an effective down-the-road spot auxiliary light that excels in the “spot” category.

Overall Rating: I give these lights (initial impression) as a flood/spot light – 2.5 stars. If rating as a flood/work light – 4.5 stars.

I will update this review after a few months of use to see how they hold up.

I bought these as a gift for my boyfriend. He put them on his Honda and likes them very much. He says that he can see much better on his foggy morning commute. Installation went well and the price was good. I would recommend this product for anyone that finds themselves driving in areas that are not well lit at night or foggy conditions.

La qualité et là, Le filage avec relais et switch son vraiment super et le tout donne une facilité d’installation

Super beau et facilite

They are very bright, put out a lot of light. Were easy to assemble and install, they came with all necessary materials to hook up, great product.

This kit fits well with great brightness and water resistance, very functional and high quality.
Easy to install and great kit if your not to sure on how to wire up your lights with clear instructions
