Pilot Automotive MS-012T 1000 LME Remote Search Light

Put this on my Nissan Rogue hood and it didn't stick - disappointed in the magnet until I figured out that my hood is PLASTIC! Put it on my roof and it sticks fine. I love it for night driving, which I hate. It is especially good on country roads, where I can't see the side roads, street signs, driveways, and mailboxes ... until I turn this light on. This works. I also used one of the programable buttons on the rearview mirror for on and off; the programable button only turns it on and off, so I still need the fob to rotate the light. For driving, I leave it turned to the right to give me the best light for that side and use the fob only if I need to rotate it - no fishing for the fob to turn it on just hit the button. It looks like it belongs on a boat or service vehicle, but I'm not fussy, and the price is right. I love it.

Great light works well for security work

Bought this for overnight graveyard shifts as security. This remote controlled spotlight makes patrolling a breeze. No need to leave the safety of the vehicle when doing perimeter sweeps. Keeps me out of inclement weather. Most importantly, having had a few incidents involving pop shots when on foot carrying a flashlight. This light protects me. The FBI have a technique that involves holding a flashlight with a extended arm above you or far to the side. It looks goofy and is hard to maintain for long periods of time. However this technique is very effective when in close quarters firefight. 8/10 a panicked light blinded enemy will shoot at the light missing the operator. Haven't had any incidents involving people shooting at the spotlight yet, but if it will save my life and keep me coming home to my family, it is worth it's weight in gold. I'll be back if that should ever happen, to buy another. Be safe out there.

I’ve received 2 of these and so far each unit has not worked. Both problems are with the remote. The remote arrived dead both times and once new batteries are in, the remote does not work. I noticed that the red light on the remote stays on constantly and while this is on the remote doesn’t work, it also drains the batteries within 24 hours. I reprogrammed and even got the light to work for about 5 minutes but then the problem came back as soon as possible. There is no way I can fix this problem and I’m really disappointed that this issue has occurred twice and was really looking forward to a simple light. I would highly recommend not ordering this light. There is no clear route to get replacement parts and based off other reviews I am not the only one with this sort of issue. I also found with both of the remotes the controllers have damaged circuit boards. The replacement I received is rusted.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: This product has incredible value. Worked just as good as comparable light priced at hundreds more. We did a side by side comparison, and this was easy to use and bright enough to do the job. 5 stars

Brightness is perfect it's like a 3rd non LED headlight. I use mine to see addresses on houses from the road. Also illuminates a wide path to the front door of houses that await deliveries and fail to light up a safe path from the road for delivery drivers. ( so inconsiderate). I'm almost used to operating the remote I keep in the door pull , for when I need to relocate the beam. Takes a bit to getting used to. I personally do not care for the cumbersome size. May have to manufacture a bracket to mount it to the work van.....I'm not allowed to drill holes in the van hood

This light is a piece of junk!!!! I bought it June 3 2025 and now it’s the last of July 2025 and it doesn’t work anymore!!!! I bought to use on my farm cause I work a lot at night. The light lasted a little over a month and quit!!!! Buyer Beware!!!!!! Junk junk junk!!!!

I have two of these spot lights. Both function as advertised. Magnetic base is strong. I keep it on the roof of my trucks with no issues. I clean under the base periodilly so the magnets keep a good surface to attach to. I recommend replacing the halogen bulb with a LED H3 bulb. It's easy to do. Just remove the four screws on the face plate and take the bulb out of the back. The unit is 3x brighter with the LED bulb I purchased. If you choose to swap the bulb, be certain to purchase a bulb that has a short base so that there is clearance for the lamp to move in the rear. I found out that a long base bulb will restrict movement. Good purchase.

Bought this hooked up didn’t work I did everything a instructions said the remote won’t light up change battery’s no difference.so I went to all the company left mes no call back so I just returned it bought different one.

Quelques jours après l’installation de mes deux lumières la vitre sur chacune d’elle a craqué. Aucune façon simple d’avoir du service pour ce produit.
