Question:
I have an SUV with the 7-way, RV Trailer connector. So, I believe I should purchase the 12 volt power inverter adapter. Do I then just wire it straight to the LED flood lights (light8-65)? Is there anything else I need to purchase? Also, If 25amp is the max, i am not sure how to check with the LED lights to make sure there not over 25 amp. Not seeing those specs. Thank you in advance

For starters, we do not carry the Nilight 6.5" Led Light Bar so I would not be able to provide installation instructions. You would need to contact the manufacturer for this and follow the instructions they list. However, according to my research this light draws around 36 watts which equates to around 3 amps so you could in theory use this with the Hopkins 12-Volt Power Inverter Adapter part # HM11147650.
The comparable light we offer is the Optronics LED Off-Road Light Bar part # UCL23CB which is 9" long, produces 1,550 lumens, and draws around 3 amps as well. You could run this directly to the Hopkins 12-Volt Power Inverter Adapter part # HM11147650 if you choose.
