Narva Ultima 225 cracked cases

Well I have had great success with Narva last week. About 3 yrs ago I bought a set of Narva Ultima 225 lights (out of warranty now) for my son as a Christmas present to go on his Patrol trayback. The Patrol did very little off road work in this time; it actually spent a lot of time parked as he has a company Ute anyway. When he sold it recently he asked if I wanted to put them on the Prado, I have had a set of Ultima 170’s on my Prado for years with now problems at all, I thought why not as the big lights look good. I fitted them up just before the GTG this year only to find they kept moving out of alignment ,readjust, and tighten the mounting bolts and they would do the same again. Eventually both light cases began to crack around the pivot point of the single mounting bolt, was never impressed with the single bolt set up. Checked their web site for spare cases but they had nothing listed but did notice that they have changed to the old fashion two bolt set up so dropped in at the wholesaler and told them of the problems and asked if it was a common fault as they had changed the design of the cases. They made a couple of calls and hey presto a set of new design cases on the way. Picked them up yesterday, no charge, and will fit them up when I get some spare time and see how they go

Had the same problem with one of my Narva Ultima 225 Driving lights. The lens was broken away from the housing.

They were only 18 months old but had seen some rough tracks. I also had them fitted with an HID conversion.
Went back to the place that fitted them but because of the HID upgrade warranty (2yrs) was a problem.
Happily Narva replaced the light then the installers spent 4 hrs installing new HID and replaced both mounting brackets

No more looking at wombats on the ground and possums up trees!!
Sometimes good shit does happen
