Default Ok... Confession time! Who is using LED Offroad lights from Ebay?

Been looking to do LED light bars and windshield lights. And in my research I've noticed that most of these lights look the same and are described the same, but coming from eBay, some are a whole lot cheaper on the wallet.

So are they all from China or is china coping USA made ones?

And who is using eBay led lights?

I've seen Tuff Stuff show up a lot and decent price


Thoughts?

I have rigid dually's on my pillars. They are awesome. My understanding is that the cheap ones are Chinese knock off of an American made product. I have also noticed that that harness's on the cheap ones are not as stout as the rigid ones. I've been to more car fires cause by poor wiring that that is a huge concern to me. Needless to say I am more that comfortable with the rigid harness. If there were a cheaper one with the same harness I would try them. But until then ill pay a lil more for a superior product.

I bought from BlackBox Logistics, they're american made but don't have quite the steep american made price tag. If you check out their clearance section you may be able to scoop up an even better deal if they've got things available.

Customer service is top priority for them as an FYI. I PM'd on a Sunday and got a call back later that day. After a quick discussion, my order was packaged and ready to be put in the mail Monday morning, I got it Thursday afternoon.

I ordered two 18W Cree Spots from eBay this weekend. $69.95 delivered. I also ordered windshield mounts for 19.99 and will need to buy a wiring harness so for about $100 delivered, I'm willing to give them a try. I'll post up picks once they are in and installed.

I bought some floods from amazon or ebay. I can't remember. I think they work great for the price. I wanted to see if I liked them before buying Rigids. Now I have the cheap ones and will be buying more cheap ones soon for spots. I think for two lights and harness was under a hundred bucks. Worth it.

I have the Hanma cree lights and love them. They're very stout. I paid $200 shipped for all my lights, which if they were Rigids would have cost over $1000. Very pleased with them.

Been using the Cree window mount for about 3 months now and no issues.
