Default Anyone use the ebay offroad lights?

I've got the walmart baja's and they're just to dim so im looking for some brighter lights.

Anyone have any luck with the ebay lights?

What about summit's brand?

even though they are cheaper, but i'd spend the extra 10 bucks or so to have name brand lights... Hella does make a 6" work light for 12-15 bucks a peice...

I buy cheap lights because they usually are not on vehicle for very long. I never knew that trees attracted metal like a magnet ! lights usually first to go..LOL

Correct me of I'm wrong but can't you change the bulb for a little bit brighter light output? I'm pretty sure I came across a thread about it.

12 dollars a light.

I have a set of these waiting to go on my jeep.

For 19 bucks on sale when I bought them they are nice. I just wish they were round vs. oval.

I agree with the lights getting beat up hence why I don't wanna dish out $$$ for lights. I just don't like the bajas as a whole. The lens is fogging up as well. I'd like a metal light, I think it looks better than the cheap plastic.

What's the output? Do they generally carry them in store?

Want some serious lights get some aircraft landing lights.
Be careful as some are 28v lights.
I've got some spotlight bulbs that old, I got them from my grandfathers stuff that I bet are close to a million CP.
Looks like bulbs that go in a handheld spotlight.
I could go get the numbers off one and find a diameter.

If you go with a higher watt bulb, make sure your wiring is adequate enough to handle the load

Those lights are relentless for rusting. I noticed you are from Illinois. I am from Indiana. The rust alone will eat them alive and about 2 seasons of salt, they will show their true quality.

I actually installed a pair last week on my front bumper. I got the ones on the first link. They work pretty good for the price. I'll see how long they hold up for
