Installed Alpena lights yesterday and really like them. Nice beam pattern and like the industrial look. Thanks

Thank you for the feedback and the photo.

I have not installed mine yet, as it is too cold where I'm at. Lol.

What is the light beam pattern like? More of a spot light or flood light?

More of a flood light. If I had to do it again I would attach brackets from the upper side of the recess. It would make it slightly cleaner install. Thanks

Robert,

I did not, never got around to it, but I did install one LED light in the rear docking light, and holy cow is it bright. If I forget turn them off my dear wife lets me know darn quick. Lol. Last summer I had a lady, at a campground, stop me to let me know that one of my rear docking lights is really dim, I politely thanked her, as I already new the stark difference in brightness between the OEM halogen light and the new LED light. :lol:
