yea i mean to me they look promising dont know how the base is or lens. Looks to be steel mount and not plastic. If they are better than the baja's from autozone i will be amazed at harbor freight

It depends on which lights you get. There is already a thread talking specifically about HF lights and how good they are and what you can do for very little money to improve them significantly. Search a little and you'll find it.

And, hey, whadda ya know?

You share titles. How cute.

i just noticed something. have a look at these:

http://www.harborfreight.com/off-roa...stem-3029.html



those are 2 lights with lense guard for $30.00 and are 100W h3 bulbs. the other single light is $15.00 and 55W h3 bulb. So i'd be paying the same cost to get about 100W less power if im not mistaken. The $15.00 single light looks a heck of a lot more rigid though
