Installed some off road lights on my 74 K20 pics and review

I installed some off road lights on my 1974 K20 yesterday so I thought I would post some pics and a review of how they worked incase anybody needed some help deciding if they want to put off road lights on their truck.

Parts list

2 Pilot Navigator off road lights from NAPA $22.00 each

A set of bumper guards from a junk yard $25.00

Pilot pre-wired light harness from NAPA $21.00

parts cost $90.00 - $30.00 napa gift card brought me down to $60.00 in parts SWEET!

The harness was very easy to install and only took about 15min.

Drilling and mounting the lights about 15-20 min

The wire harness came with a switch for the lights and it works awesome.

The lights are very bright!

If you ever want to install some kind of aux lighting I would recommend getteing on of these harness kits it made things very easy.

Let me know what you guys think or if you have any questions.

I like the design, not really a fan of the switch, but i like the premade wriing harness. Is it made for our year of trucks? what all does it hook up to? ill have to look into it.

Good install, looks good on the truck. I have a push bar i keep procrastinating putting on.
