    I get that, I see it a lot with this kind of thing. The 2 I posted are different enough that I don't think that's the case here though. Both Chinese, yes, but I don't think it's the same product with a different name slapped on it.

    I saw this similar situation when I was looking into my lights. I came to the conclusion that some manufacturer's depending on their agreements can have certain configurations in their inventory, but I think at the end of the day it all came from the same building in China.

    Exactly the point I was trying to make -

    One building gets order for company A and another order from company B just enough changes to be different, neither company owns to the gold image design, they just sell small differences. Happens with cheap knock phones all the time.

    I'm not sure I want a mechanical eye lid.

    Seems like something that could fail.

    This is true. I am pretty sure Yeti cups come off of the same Chinese assembly line as the ones at Walmart. I guess I would feel better with a brand that would back their product though, if it does break.

    I have emailed the site before and asked questions. You can try emailing and asking them yourself, or I will get to it in a few days when I have a chance.

    If I buy them I think I’ll get the Spyder ones. I have at least heard of that brand and people seem to like them.

    They do look visually pleasing. Wonder why there are no light output pics?

    Alot of times cheap aftermarket lights leak, have shitty light output, LEDs blow and can’t be fixed, and the sun beats up the coating on the lens and they look like shit. Please report back.

    Interested in your opinion once you get them installed. I want very badly for there to be a reliable drop in replacement that upgrades to hid or led. While I could mod my own I’d rather spend a few extra dollars on something that was proven...

    I feel the same. I didn't want to risk modding my own so I looked and did some research. Tacoma beast offers a 1 year warranty against any problems/defects so I went with them. I'm really hoping these work out great. I really like the look, I'll keep everyone on this thread posted with info/pics as time goes on once they are installed.
