    They are nice, I got a set and it had the Rigid Industries emblems attached. I assume these will say it also but since they are a knockoff they cannot show the Rigid emblems in the pics I guess. I'm going on close to 3 years on mine, they are identical to the real deal, I have seen them next to the real ones both on and off a Pro, they perform just as well also. I did get some new oem Rigid Industries bezel covers for $70 from the dealership. I bought an OEM set of Rigids from a guy off FB that bought a set from the dealer but sold the truck prior to installing them. They cost him nearlly $400 from the dealership I use and still no difference. I bought them because I was thinking my knockoffs were not going to last long and not being able to buy a knockoff set again, so I snatched them up. So far my knockoffs are working perfectly fine, no issues. I say buy them, maybe two sets and have a back up. I got luck and paid half price on the oem set and I swear they are identical, just my opinion as they are probally made in the same place as the real deal. Gets ready for the comments!

    I had a pair of knock off pro fog lights, they have been great since and had a quality build.

    The badge it comes with is a light grey plastic, so I painted it with plastidip and use silver permanent marker for the text.
    The official Rigid orange covers fit perfectly too.

    Ultimately got a legit set of Rigid for cheap, and kept the knock off bezel trim piece.

    Output is exactly the same as my Rigid, same throw, beam pattern and color temp. Gave the knock offs to a friend, and he still rocks them to this day.

    These ones have a little LED strip instead of the rigid name plate on them (thats why I say they are knock offs that are not really knock offs)

    But the LED strip could easily be just painted black or not even used.
