I'm glad someone asked about these. I'll be getting at least one pair, probably more.

Harbor freight doesn't specify the amperage rating of the switch that comes with it, but this one is rated for 20 amps. Should be fine for two 100 watt lights. Also it looks cooler.

They have the same basic center single mount bolt on the lights so they should fit

Yeah, jonjon said his mounts *should* fit almost any light. I was just concerned about placement of that bracket and how wide the HF light is.

It lights up
Just went to harbor freight and bought another set of lights, I opened it up and they now have good switchs in the set, the one i got is rated 25 amps for 12 volt system and 15 amps for 24 volt, the biggest one i seen at autozone without having to order it was a 30 amp for 12 volt.
Evidently someone has complained about the switch and they had it replaced.
