I've got a 20" LED bar on my bumper, and 2 4" HID's on my A pillars. All from ebay, and so far not a single complaint.

Do you mind taking some pictures at night and letting us know the distance. Also the price on both and whether they shipped from US or china or vendor if you remember. There are so many choices on Fleabay, I want to make sure i order the same ones. Thanks in advance.

I'll try to get some night pics this weekend. The LED bar I got for $200, and the 4" HIDs for $110. Neither came with a wiring harness so I made my own. I don't remember the vendors but I can try to look back to see if I can find them. They did come from China though, but neither took more than a week to get here.

Those trees aren't far at all, about 30 feet or so, they are more for lighting/flooding light right near the jeep, even those the ones I got were the spot pattern. And after the weekend I can do the low/high/all pictures
, the perfect light combo these LEDs on and my high beams on.
I say just get them and if you don't like them you can always use them for other applications, I was gonna use them on my boat if they were too much of a flood pattern but it turned out really nice on my jeep!

Are any of the lights actually MADE in the USA? Even Rigid had to change their marketing to Assembled in the USA.

Don't get me wrong, I have had a few different Rigid lights and they work great, one light bar that had issues was repaired under warranty, no questions asked.

If I buy another set of lights, it would prob be a cheaper set from one of the other companies.

No, I'm pretty sure all of these eBay lights are made in china
