Oem led replica??

Hey everyone… has anyone ever tried these oem led headlight replicas? They look exactly the same as the OEM LED headlights, but they aren’t genuine… any thoughts? They’re about $400 cheaper than genuine. I’m thinking spending the extra money is the right route, but if anyone has had any luck with these let me know https://www.carparts.com/details/To...56HN4xFdLUa78baPAsIaAjgSEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

 

For that price there has to be a short cut taken somewhere.

 

More than likely not worth the risk.

Stick with OE quality on something as important as headlights

 

You guys are probably right. I was thinking about taking one for the team and seeing what happens, but I don’t want to worry about having to take the front end of the truck apart twice if something goes wrong. Looks like I have some more saving up to do.. lol

 

They'll most likely function just fine. However, I think its safe to say, they won't perform as well as OEM. Not as bright, not as focused, poor cutoff, possible water intrusion, etc...

You never know without testing them, They might put out a good beam, but they might not. That's a 900.00 experiment. Also note there are no reviews. Save a little more and go OE.

 

Thats a good price??? No wonder they total these out with a 5mph fender bender.

 

I wonder if the harness is needed for these to work on a 2018 Sport.

 

Warranty?

 

Yes you will

 

There have been many posts showing output of these replica lights or similar, and the output is absolutely disastrous, so bad it isn't even safe to drive in. They are so far worse than the OEM halogen light assemblies and not anywhere remotely near the OEM LEDs, trying to claim they somehow compare in the slightest is a pathetic joke. One of these products is from the highest possible quality level manufactures on the market, manufacturing products in the USA, the other from a low cost cutting Chinese off-brand looking to make things as cheap as possible for quick sale with no regard to output performance or even compliance. You'd be an absolute fool to try an save a few hundred dollars on some total garbage Chinese products while also spending a thousand plus rather than paying a little more for the absolute best product on the market from the OEM brand that is untouched in automotive quality. Stay stock with upgrade bulbs or go big with OEM LEDs. Definitely stay away from all the horribly poor performing aftermarket products.
