    I got a set of those and they SUCK. They're too thin and they flex with lights mounted to them. It scratched my hood from them flopping around when driving. Spend the extra $50 and get a better set.

    I got the eBay ones before, didn’t fit well because the holes were drilled wrong and collided with the hood and one was crooked.

    I bought this bracket before, it’s ok quality and the metal is pretty thick. I try bent it, but the bracket is stronger than me. However, the problem is the seller sent me a 2015 version. So I have to return it.

    I can’t find bracket cheaper than 20 on eBay. Amazon return should be easy.

    I guess it’s worth the price.
    This bracket will not flex at 1/4 inch steel. the powder coat is not as good.
    going to spray paint it before install.

    Good find. At $10 I’ll give them a shot.

    I had a pair of nilight cube pod lights on my Jeep I got for about $30 that lasted 8 years until I traded it in. Figure I’ll do the same setup. For around $50 to get some extra lighting on the truck is a great price

    Just got my pair, looks like they raised the price $5 bucks after I bought but still a good find. I'd be willing to bet that these are coming from the same place that makes the brackets for some other higher priced options, they look identical.

    I did that, and I paid 11 bucks. But now they're listed at $19.99 with a 5 dollar coupon.
