They are pretty much all made in China. The manufacturer gives them the specs and a buget. Then they fill the order with components that fit the budget.
So if you go cheap you will get sub par leds resistors... etc..
also look for the ones that have the features you want some have full halos Daytime running lights. Half halos, left right hash lights. Some come with a clolor programmer. Some have directional flash halos.
Mine has the full white halos only and the halos flash white for directionals. I still have the OEM flashers it's kinda an extra feature. I wish the halos would turn amber when I turn the directionals on but I don't think there are amber leds in the unit.
I paid like $135 for the pair but they still look good. Cool thing is they are drop in easy to replace if I get tired of that style.

Thanks for the backup chuck!! Yep they have tons on amazon. But be forewarned you get what you pay for. Read all the features.
The reason some are more than others are wattage, come with Canbus adaptors, light programmers,... some do not come with anti flicker Canbus and you will have to get them separate.
All led lights need a Canbus or load resister to trick the computer to thinking everything is pulling the correct loads. If you don't you will damage he LED lights and you computer will throw codes.
There are some lights that look exactly the same on amazon but the guts "internals" are different due to different features and the quality of the components.

I'm running these. If they blow I'll buy the more expensive ones. Only out $12 if they do.
