Ha, they are all cheap Chinese trinkets.

so i went and tested the 32" on my ford last night.
First let me say this truck has very driveable high beams. before i got the light i was debating if i even needed it.
After the little fine aming and testing i will say this bar completely blows out the headlights and triples the range they had.
still nothing like my xj with 6x hid lights that shine literally further than i can see with my eye when driving.
this bar will do what i need on the tow pig. for how little i would drive it at nigh 40$ is definitely money well spent.

I put my LED bar over my winshelild & knew odds are it'd get damaged by a tree before it'd fall apart. I went with the eyourlife 50" curved bar.

and used these brackets

I haven't wired it up yet, planning on doing that tomorrow. After last year's snow & the fact that I had to winch friends out of ditches, I needed more light. If it lasts for 2-3 years, I figure I got my money out of it.

Exactly. Nothing the big dogs can do about it either (ridgid etc.) due to China's laws... almost the same exact thing... slightly cheaper parts.
