I have it and have had no issues. That being said, I am having to replace my back up LED lightbars from them. Passenger side just stopped working and the driver said housing has let water in. I personally will not be buying from them again.

I don't have any personal experience with them, but from what I have seen on their website, you can get the exact same items on Amazon or eBay for a fraction of the cost.


I was about to buy their reverse light cubes, then I found the exact same ones on Amazon for $22.00 instead of $59.99.

Be careful with those amazon/ebay lights. Any cheap LED actually. You want to make sure the LED bar has an evaporation valve, like on the expensive Rigid. There are a FEW companies who sell a light bar WITH the evaporation valve. That is VERY important.

The cheaper lights DO NOT have these and they will fog up.

99% of the eBay/Amazon leds are complete junk. I tried them before spending the money to get quality stuff. You get what you pay for and while it may look the same, it's definitely not the same.

I had bought that bar but sold it as I had changed my mind; however, I had ordered some of their regular interior, license plate lights, and 3rd brake light LEDs.

In just little over a year the license plate lights stopped working and I am not pleased with the output of their LEDs.

Are the 3157 bulb sockets a standard or CK base. There does not seem to be a definite answer to this on the forum ( that I could find). ?

If you order a quality bulb, like the Diode Dynamics we sell, it does not matter about CK or not... the bulbs are reverse-able and operate like a halogen would. That's why I like DD bulbs. You don't have to play the back and forth came to figure out if you installed them backwards or not. They just work.
