Default Truck lite knockoffs

Anyone tried these yet? They seem promising judging by the reviews. Only 3 of them though is the prob. Probably shipping straight from China though. I might be tempted to buy them if they continue to get good reviews.

Probably a get what you pay for type thing. The few sets of real trucklites I've seen didn't wow me.

Trucklite look cool but brightness output is meh compared to JW Speaker.

For knockoffs, $125 isn't a bad asking price for a pair. I would try them out. If you don't like them, you can always return them. Look for them on Amazon since Prime shipping usually offers free returns for items that you find don't work as well as you thought.

ECE version of Trucklites have a nicer, smoother pattern without all the shadowing and artifacts that the DOT ones have. They generally have to be special order, though.

I highly doubt those are heated lens.

The truck-lite ones have a heating element that is visible in the lens, those look to have just a standard plastic lens. Additionally, they don't have any wiring for heating elements, just high, low and common ground

Here are the heated ones for the JK

Why, it does appear so, doesn't it?

Always a sign of a classy company--plagiarizing photos.
