Narva Driving lights on Sale

My old 150mm narvas....had crap mounts which did break.....but the new ones 175mm have a better mount which I belive would last.... Just my 2c

thats strange Dave, might be something to do with the heat out your way, expanding the housings too much.

I fitted a pair just as they were released about 6 years back to our 2wd hilux, now as you know they have the suspension of a house brick so i was interested to see how the lights went, well over 100,000k since a hell of a lot of it on really corrugated dirt with big pot holes etc. Well they are still there as good as the day they were fitted, never needed adjusting, very bright as i go for absolute overkill on the wiring. oh i did have to replace a globe at the 4 year mark.

Fitted 4 to the last jackaroo, same deal never a prob, and the jacks do have a lot of movement in the front chassis extensions so bullbars shake around heaps on rough roads, still got a couple to go on the new rig when i get around to it.

heaps of others i know also love em so maybe they just arent suited to conditions out your way. Worth you having a chat to your narva distributors over there.

cheers mate Brad.

Gotta agree with Bradley - put mine on over 3 years ago and have taken them over everything, including 37,500 km around Australia. I lost one of the clear covers, which I was able to replace at Esperance, and they are still going strong.

hmm are we talking about the same narva light? it is held in up the top by a clip and the bottom by a small plastic tab and the first sighn of a bumpy road they just jump out I have the photos of me doing the Kimberly first there was 2 then 1 then none.Replaced them and lost another before swapping them out. went throug 1 on my 2wd as well

Davoe, If that's the light they are talking about then I think they may have been extremely lucky. It took us about four pair of these to break on the little trucks I used to drive before we woke up and went to Hella's. The little clip used to let the lens pop straight out of the housing at anything more than hard breaking.

Cheers Matt.

These are the same lights I have on my Frontera and Patrol. I was wary when I bought them but no probs in the 4 years I have had them.

I lost a lens cover while parked on one vehicle so we must have had an earthquake or something????

For the money they are hard to beat. Great light and cheap to replace but I haven't needed to yet. If i wanted something better I would go for a lightforce as these are just great but I am still waiting for the buggers to break.

Also I haven't needed to adjust them other than for sideways movement. They are mounted to the bullbar/nudge bar (vehicle dependant) and on the Patrol, with my daily rough dirt escapades, they have remained on the car inspite of the heavy vibrations, (and the odd bird).

I recommend them. Plus you have the option of the combination set for no extra. (mind you I paid a bit more than $99 at the time)

Cheers Cam

I have had a couple of pairs (only bought the second pair because I had them mounted on the roof rack for a night driving event and one hit a low tree branch and broke the body) But they have been to Cape York and back over all those corragations and every where else. For $99 you can't go wrong.

PS has anyone got a Narva body they are willing to part with?

yeah dave, the very same lights, now i see 2 wa users with probs so im definetly thinking its either a bad batch went your way or its the higher ambient and radiant heat expanding the housings and allowing the mounting tabs to disengage.

Brad, Your theory might be right cause it was when I was up north this happened.

Cheers Matt.

plenty of satisfied customers-maybe its like anything else you recomend on the WWW -someone somwheres had a bad experience with it

any drive in WA wont take you long the morons here take delight in giving you a dazzle even on outr long straight roads. I have started sitting on the satalk as they crest the hill (I have been on dip for about a km ) and giving it to them for .25 of a second as they crest I mean if I can see their lights - they can see mine

sometmes get caught out by truckies as there cabs are higher so they get a dose of high beam before you see there dippedlights and dip
Always do my best to not dazzle others ut it seems entrenched in WA culture to only dip if yo are getting flashed

Davoe
Not just here in WA mate Morons from the cities all over , soon as they hit the open road at night they not the faintest bloody idea,
