Default cheap ebay light bar

I want a light bar but am on a very small budget like $150 is the max with everything included and I went on ebay and found a couple no name 52" curved lightbars for like $100 for everything was wondering if it's a good deal or not thanks

I've bought a few on eBay and so far it's been well worth it. Especially paying 5x as much. Your gonna get a lot of people that say you get what you pay for and quality isn't there, but so far I've been happy with the lights.

I've had my ebay 52" lightbar for about two and a half years now. After baking in the Florida sun and being subjected the torrential downpours we have, it's held up fine. My complaint is with the mounts, which the paint is starting to flake on and shows some initial surface rust. About time to sand them and repaint. I think the lightbar was listed as a Newcomdigi brand and the mounts were eautogrilles.

I've been wondering the same thing, I am all for being a parts nazi and having high quality, but some things really are not going to make much of a difference to justify spending an enormous amount of money more than an eBay one.

I also have a 52" ebay light bar. It's bright and it gets the job done. I paid 130, but now they seem to be running for 100. Only problem I had at first was that the middle section of the lightbar flickers for a bit. It needed a little warm up before it would light up the whole thing. I ended up contacting the seller for a new one, now I have two for the price of one.

I bought a 20" OPT7 light from Amazon. I was building my own brackets so incase my brackets sucked I didn't want to waste a bunch of money for the big name brands. My brackets turned out ok so I figure I'll run this till it dies. Been almost a year now and it's still going strong.

If the budget is that tight, I recently found 210w 20" light bars on ebay for ~$100. Mounting a light bar on your bumper or through the grill may be a bit cheaper than a 50" and won't have the noise issues that the 50" will have.
