I just put these on on thursday night. They work awesome. Can bounce a good mile nice and bright. 370 degrees around 45 degrees down, 90 degrees up. Wireless remote works from almost 200', each on it's own frequency. Was a Little worried about the air box lids popping off, but they are really hard to lift off (pop the snaps) They are low enough and outboard to see easily through the windshield. Have to look around just a bit during some turning situations. They are pretty fun though, also double as really powerful driving lights. Keep them turned back during normal driving to protect the lens. Kind of look like double snorkel kit.

Gotta have 'em. How are they mounted and did it require any re-fab of the boxes? Did you intstall a power switch inside or simply use remotes? Power source? These are the coolest add-ons I've seen in weeks, come'on now spill the goods and let us all know where we can get'em http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_razz.gif

Acid Nasty is right, those are the lights. I did get the ones though with both a remote and helm control. Right now I am only using the remotes, I will have the dealer run the wiring for the helms when it goes in next. I basically ligned them up visually, popped the covers off drilled the holes, had to go to hardware store to get all stainless nuts and bolts and wide fender washers. They only give you these sad little wood screws. Had to drill a center hole for the wiring. Ran the wires through the front slot under hood lid, then into engine compartment between the flanges right at the back. Mounted ground with a big eye to inner fender support, fused the line with an inline 15 amp per the instructions, ran the positives to the little alternator junction at left side of the motor (Just enough room for the extra eyes and 2 wires and still closed the box) and that was it. simple setting of dip switches on the remotes, and initializing, and away we go. I got them through west marine for $299.00 each for the 2 switch (the thread is for remote only @ $249.00)$20 in misc hardware, wires, fuseable links, etc. and it was done. Took about an hour to make both after the hour of staring at them placed in different spots on the covers, trying to figure out if I really wanted to do what I was about to do....Glad I did http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_cool.gif

I have the same light except mine is not permanently mounted. It came with a suction base or a magnetic base and you simply plop it on top of the H2 and plug the cigar lighter plug in and use the wireless remote. Great light.

Does the construction of the light allow for disasembly so someone could paint the light another color. I think the white light would look pretty funny on a different color H2.

I don't know if they come apart easily. I thought about that too for you guys with different color trucks. You might be able to contact golight and ask. The lens does come off and apart to replace the bulb. Little tape, sand paper, and acan of spray paint would solve the problem I would imagine. Also didn't see a part # for black.

Terrific accessory! White is my color too.
How would one only look (drivers side)?

Any suggestions on the manner to pry up the box lids? What holes them down? I hate to pry and break something. Thanks

4 clips hold them on they come off easily. I took the side vent off first and popped the driver side right off. I mounted the air pump for my horns under there and placed the horns behind the side vent.

Black H2 Adventure Series+ all other options.
