These are new. He just took one out so I could see them and my buddy already had them. So I figure for $80 not bad. I would agree to buy a better product but for what I'm looking to do it may be worth it.

Go for it, if your buddy has used them first hand and he likes it, that's your answer there

Yea I just wanted to see if anyone here has seen or had them. You guys all have a lot of knowledge of our trucks so I figured why not. I'll keep you guys posted on the results.

Same way I think about it. I'd be willing to bet that a high percentage of people running these lights aren't really using them enough to justify the cost. I'll admit that I want a 20" just for looks and occasional usage (maybe a couple times a month for a few minutes at a time), so I'm not gonna pay premium dollar for it. I'm not a cheap *** by any means, but a 100$ chinese off brand bar looks a LOT more appealing to me than a $400 Rigid.

Yes you are correct but I've had really good success with Rigid and their customer service. It been spot on and the hardware and wiring kits are some of the best out there.

They were one of the first to the table and a bunch on cheap knockoff flooded the market.

I'm sure they will all work great for what we need but the longevity game is where it's at. I would rather pay $155 once versus $80 multiple times.

I may look into a set for my rears but have a spot set of RI sitting around that need to be used

when do you use them? I live in the city, street lights everywhere. Mine were last used when my hid ballasts broke. It's funny, even though I never use them, I want to add more :/
