Fake rigid pro fog lights. I think.

Those are fake, got a set from alibaba for around $120. Still fully functional after a year of use if you wonder. For that price... Stay away

 

I have bought a few sets from Aliaba and the quality of the lights are spot on with the real Rigid Industries. I have compared the lights to the real deal and they are as bright. Now they also have the same numbers and markings, I have used them for close to 2 years without an issue. Second thing about the bezels, the fakes emblem are held on with double sided tape which isnt bad and the color is off on the letters. Now here is where your wrong, the oem bezels Rigid Industries are not molded on, they are actually held on with a plastic dab of the plastic through the hole, kinda like a plastic rivet. The ends can be lifted up if tried. The light sold for about $100. I bought 5 sets and only one light needed the wires to be unplugged and turned around. The markings are all the same, even the bezels have the Toyota parts number, light quality is great. I sold a few sets for $125 and used a set on my Son's Tacoma and mine, then kept a set as a parts set. I did buy the oem bezels because I had a gift card to use up. I never saw anyone trying to sell them as the real deal, yea $250 is high but you can order directly from a supplier on Alaiba. I did and had a great experience and customer service was awesome. Like I said I had a light I thought was bad but just needed to turn the plug around. The supplier sent me a whole set for free, no questions asked. Every time I ordered I had the parts in about 7 days.

 

They are fake, or aka faux trd pro foglights. One sign is the ridgid emblem is just a single color. The next is the missing bracket that holds the plug and doesn't let it dangle. Another is the adjustment gear, it sticks out too much and has to be pushed in before it can be of any use. The bezel is most likely the same mold that Toyota uses.

As for quality, they shine just bright as my authentic ridgids. Have no data on actual lumen or lux count though. Beam pattern is also on par, with slight differences in width.

I gave the faux to my friend, he still rocks it till this day. Your mileage may vary though.

I'm not going to go into ip theft, what is right and what is wrong.
Since that is a whole controversial topic on here.

 

You admit you are literally an IP thief profiteer scum bag trying to turn an illegal quick buck off your fellow TW brothers. I have no respect to the people like you, as you are literally now the lowest shit IP scum. I should note that someone might have tipped off the powers that be long ago, for anyone that buys off that buyer, you may now be privy to a major criminal action lawsuit for illegal product copyright infringement. I'll forward this post as I have all the others. Both Rigid and Toyota have gone after the seller as reseller of stolen IP on the product, so good luck with your criminal stealing of intellectual property.

 

Nobody said I was selling them as real. I sold them to friends and gifted some. There is nothing wrong with what I did. You are a total FUCK HEAD.You are a total piece of shit and Fuck you and your law suit bullshit. You have no clue. Sit back and shut the hell up, Chuck! LOL Your a total Dick Head!!!!

 

Weird. It is almost like I partnered with Rigid in developing the first selective yellow SAE fog lights long ago developing a relationship with their execs. The Engineering director I worked with is now risen to the President of the company. I hate counterfeiters more than anything, strange how the Rigid president hostilely shares that view with a passion, and as an OEM partner has access to Toyota's legal team. Lets just say Toyota doesn't seem to keen on letting that fly either. You do realize it doesn't matter if they are sold as real? It is stolen IP. Good luck.

 

Whatever, I could gives to rats ass as what you did or think about this. Done!!!

 

More short sighted statements, but I'll capture them nonetheless.

 

I'm worried! LMAO!!!

 

@jberry813

There seems to be a snake in the straw here...

 

Snake in my boot?

 

Well that escalated quickly

 

I fail to see the difference between buying and reselling knockoff rigid lights and knock off pro grilles, but that's none of my business.
