Wisconsin area events- COMING SOON! Lower Wisconsin River kayak camping trip! July 25-27

I still love my rigid stuff. It’s been solid. I’ve got a 30 inch bar that is still working after hitting a deer at 40 mph.

I’ve got a heretic amber light that I’ve been pretty happy with. I haven’t had it long enough to comment on how it holds up but performance wise I have no complaints. Found a YouTuber discount code so the price was pretty decent too.

 

I'm looking at heretic too, specifically their 6 inch fog lights and maybe a chase light.

 

ive got the 40" amber bar

maxx10 was the discount code I used.

 

Hey @CygnusX191,

Thanks for continuing to bring us up in your comments more frequently, I understand your preference for Diode Dynamics and there is nothing wrong with having that but I want to touch on some of your points brought up allowing the information to be clear for all users. We shifted our production facility to Toluca Mexico early this year, which is owned and run by us. This facility is a Tier 1 ISO 9001 certified production plant allowing us to push into large OEM manufacturing opportunities and have much stricter regulations on our products than before. Being made in the USA is not advertised on our site and should not be advertised on any dealer websites that sell for us and we have publicly stated that we are produced in Mexico before. We still have in-house staff working on Vehicle Specific Kits, Motorcycle Kits, and Warranty and Repairs so our complete production is not completely made in Mexico. Almost every company in the light industry uses a few components sourced from overseas, similar to the phone you have in your pocket. Some companies choose to utilize more components than we do which is why their pricing reflects this over ours. While Diode Dynamics claims to be made in the US this is just because they source the parts from overseas and assemble them here.


Pricing is another topic that does come up from time to time and while our products are priced higher than others you are paying for a top-tier product and we stand behind this. We have developed a very extensive program and testing to measure our products giving you accurate measurements before purchasing our lights (ELS). In addition to this, we offer uService allowing our customers to modify their lighting setup as desired after purchase. Another key asset that stands us apart from others is our Lifetime Warranty, MoistureBlock, and 5000k Daylight. In our opinion, it is key features like these that justify purchasing top-tier lighting for your vehicle. Every manufacturer in the lighting industry has their key features and fan base behind them, this is what keeps companies successful. We are happy to help out anyone interested in our products along with current users of other manufacturers.

Best,
Brandon

 

It's your packaging that is the problem. A lot of the packaging still says made in the USA.

I did mention several times you guys make some excellent lights and with competition heating up everyone is stepping up to the plate and it's a good time to be a lighting enthusiast. As far as the pricing goes, my comments are more to the fact that the high-end stuff from rigid is really high end in pricing as well... Wasn't trying to slam Baja at all with that comment.

As far as big names in the industry, Diode does still maintain their design and assembly facilities here. It is well known that everyone uses components from various manufacturing bases overseas.

In terms of your services like your upgrade program, I think it's a unique service offered and it's really freaking cool. Got some guys that I run with that are looking into getting their stuff upgraded through it. And they've been very happy with Baja. Fact of the matter is, you're still the biggest name in off-road racing and there's a very good reason for that.

All in all.... It's good to be in the game.

 

Kind of a weird first post.

 

I disagree, fits right in with this group lol

 

Back on the topic of actual events/ get – togethers/ social gatherings/ etc.

This looks like it could be fun.

 

Yeah, it's funny. But, kinda weird to join the forum just for that. Seems like a troll

 

I kinda think you’re both right.

 

It gets even weirder... Member since 2019, first post today.

 

Tentatively in

 

I've been trying to find Toyota theme car shows, at dealerships mostly. It would be pretty cool to roll up to a Toyota dealership car show with the Wisconsin TW crew. Maybe we'll get a good turnout for this thing.

 

We could even bring a banner!

 

Me too

But only if you have the right lights....

 

Lol! They need an option for a red, white, and blue color scheme.

 

I’d buy that, if none of the components were made in China
