    Hm. Idk mang. Looks pretty good though.. Got a very nice spread anyways. I'd probly just keep it. What are those features? What kind of leds? Any warranty? Only thing I might be concerned with is the seal. I'd probly drown it with the hose and leave it out for a day and see if there's any condensation or whatnot. Because word is those auxbeams are supposed to be a reliable brand. Haven't heard of that one.

    I don't know but they look like Cree lights to me but not sure it has a one year warranty trying to find out more but I do like it but it's fn large for my newly built cargo rack for a 42" so it over hangs by 3 inches each side might have to rebuild it wider...

    After looking more into it they are Phillips or osram LEDs and I don't know who makes them but they are sold on Amazon... Good reviews at least...

    I'd at least contact the seller and let them know what happened. See if they bite. Just inform them of the mix up and nothing else. See what they say, or offer you, if anything. Maybe you'll get lucky and get a discount for another purchase or something. Or turn their offer around and ask for that. Worth a shot anyways. But again I'd put it to the test and make sure it's gonna hold up to the elements, before waiting too long.

    What kind of optics does it have btw?

    Yeah buddy! I just KNEW that was a 3d bar you had there! I could tell by the spread in your output picture. That's the optics to go for mang. You definitely have a good bar there. But still curious about that brands quality. Also wonder if auxbeam is the original manufacturer of that specific design, or If they're all just the same bar from China with a different name slapped on it.. If I ever go with a double row it'll be one of those though. The output is just awesome with that specific 3d design. Mine has pretty similar 3d optics, but is a single row with the big 10watt leds/reflectors. And honestly, I haven't seen a single double row (budget bar that is) come close to matching that of a single row with 10watters, except that one.. I've seen a few pics and vids on those before, but your output pic just confirms it even more so;)

    I wouldn't mind seeing some more output shots. Whenever you get around to it. And good luck with the water test. I sincerely hope it holds up. If not, I'd clear it up and reseal. That or just do a warranty claim. I was about to say you shoulda got that bar on Amazon. Except I don't know if the 42" is available from the seller I know is reputable and has real auxbeam bars..

    I got it for $24 so I'm not to unhappy and will see when I get home how it holds up to water. Took the hose to it and left on my table to see how it does hope it holds up well no water inside that I could tell after taking hose to it so that looks good now just need to see with some heat on it if it did leak like you said. Just need to modify rack a little to accept it. Thinking some kickouts like rock guards have for the front and put metal plates under it to hold the bar in place and then drill hole through center fin mount a cable to the roof rack so if someone trys to steal it they will have finger prints all over my truck to cut that part off.. Will post some pictures of it at my work in a week or so when I get everything mounted up and painted on truck... Thank you
