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.

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!!!!

The media could not be loaded. 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.

Glass lens broke. I am having difficulty getting in touch with the company in order to order a new lens. Light works extremely well. Very bright and powerfull beam.

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

Although the automation and rotation worked flawlessly, it appears that the halogen bulb is not replaceable. Checking with the vendor on that. I’d prefer a bright white bulb than a yellowish light. Motorized positioning worked flawlessly. Magnetic mount is not acceptable for vehicle travel. Mounting bolts were too short for my application (front vehicle hood). Few improvements could make this an excellent product. It is definitely better than a competitor system on Amazon that I had to return.

Great light

The brightness of the light is amazing and can really help anyone needing extra light at night.
