So far, so good.
So far, so good. The packaging was appropriate for the size of these lights. The lights have some bulk to them and feel well made. Of course, only time will tell if these hold up or not. It's been really dry around here and I haven't washed the vehicle yet. I may tighten the allen bolts on the front of the lights as others have suggested and I may add a bead of silicone to the front seals as well. The lights came with: mounting brackets, necessary mounting hardware, and short-ish wire leads protruding from the lights. The wire seems well supported where it enters the light. Again, time will tell if this is adequate at keeping water out. I'll probably add some silicone there was well.One thing to note: the lights are not side specific (there is no right/left orientation). This is fine, although I almost installed the first one "upside down" and with the wiring facing up. I presume this would have increased the likelihood of water penetration at that point of the light.I installed these on the back of my 3rd generation 4Runner to give me the option of throwing light out the back for setting up camp in the dark. I did not want them wired to the back up lights so I ran wire from the battery, through the firewall, and down the interior of the vehicle before diving the wire back under the vehicle in the cargo area (where the wiring for the tow package came out). It was a little labor intensive running wire that far but the wiring of the lights themselves was basic and relatively easy. This way I can turn on the rear lights independent of which gear my vehicle is in. I can also turn the lights on even when the vehicle is off.I purchased a 20-amp rated Daystar switch for the dash and wired the lights directly through the switch, without a relay. I did put an inline fuse in between the battery and the switch however. These draw such a small amount of current (amperage) that a relay wasn't necessary. I estimate these are drawing less than 3 amps--the switch can handle that fine. Some might argue otherwise, but it's working great.These work fantastic for giving me light out the back. They would also work well as extra back up lights or for hooking up to a trailer in the dark. My only regret thus far is that I didn't install them far enough back under my vehicle to protect them from rubbing on rough terrain. I crossed a dry creek bed and dragged the driver's side light on the ground once already. Bent the mounting bracket a bit, and scratched the aluminum light housing a little, but it still works great. I just bent the bracket back into place and continued on.The brackets that come with these lights are fine and give plenty of room for angling the lights as desired. Unfortunately for how I wanted to install them, the brackets would not work. I made home-made ones from some Simpson construction ties. These are commonly used to hold the frames of houses together and are readily available for cheap at most home hardware stores. I cut them to the length I wanted and bent them to a right angle with my hammer and a solid work bench as a support. It might also be a good idea to paint them to protect from effects of corrosion. I drilled two small holes in my trailer hitch supports (3/16 I believe). Hopefully the picture shows the setup well enough. Add some zip-ties and wire protection and, voila, done!

Nice and sturdy
This was the simplest install ever. Great price point and this thing is solid. Great tow and recovery points and the shackles come with it. The lights are super bright to back down the trail or in a dark area. Or just for area awareness

Too bright for you! One failed, See edit below
I bought these to use as driving lights on my 2001 Jeep Cherokee. They are a little too large to fit in the designated pockets in the bumper without drilling a new mounting hole and cutting a small piece of bumper cover plastic away. Once the install was complete I was happy to discover that they are simply too bright for night time driving in traffic. I solved this by covering the top three lights with a strip of (black) duct tape. Still plenty bright enough to light the road and fields on each side of the Jeep to spot deer before they run out in front of me.Edit: about 1.5 years of daily use and the light on the passenger side had 5 of the 6 LED's fail from corrosion that leaked inside the unit. Still a great deal for little money (I just ordered a replacement set for $12) but I had to reduce my 5 star rating down to 4 stars (above average) because the case seal failed.

Love these doors!
These doors are great. Installed in no time, fit my 2021 Gladiator perfectly.My only concern is I can’t seem to get the mirrors adjusted to where I can see anything, maybe something I’m doing wrong…. But other than that, so far they are perfect!

Great love them
Perfect just got to adjust the latch but other then that perfect

Completely pointless
Can’t install because the screws don’t actually line up with the wrangler (which is a JL, so the right type). The instructions are super vague too. And of course the help desk is not reachable. Save your money and spend a bit more on something that’s actually going to be installable.

Works (at 24VDC), but I wouldn't trust the specs...
I'm running this at about 18-20V, but I tested them at 24V(DC). They light up. I put my test meter in series and it reported a current of ~0.3A. And 0.3A at 24VDC is nothing near 18W; it comes out near 7W. I have it mounted on a ceiling about 11' up, and the light output is nothing special - I can type by it and it covers the couch it's aimed at, but it's nothing like brilliant.They feel solid, there's some amount of adjustability in the mounting and they didn't get very warm. They will likely do for my purpose but I would not trust the wattage. My guess is 18W is a marketing number - they used 6 LEDs and they probably used Cree's 3W leds, which can be driven UP TO 3W, but I'd be willing to bet that's not what the internal drive circuit does.Addendum- on the positive side, it says it's not dimmable, but it might be. I accidentally hooked it up to a 24V mark/space PWM source at around 580Hz with a duty cycle varying between 0 and 100%. The brightness rose and fell accordingly. Whether this is good for the internal circuitry I can't comment on, and I didn't leave it running long. I did this with a raspberry pi's hardware PWM pin and 3 paralleled outputs on a ULN2003A, if anyone wants to experiment. For the 2 seconds I let it run it didn't look too bad.Addendum: mounting them is not fun. They come with a bracket with a whole in it. The hole is too big for the head is typical wood or metal screws. A screw with a head big enough to hold, is awkward to work with in tight spaces.Basically, it's ok for my purpose, so 3 stars. How effective it is for off-roading I wouldn't be able to say; the brightness does not impress me.

Nice heavy bumper
The only complaint is mine came with no directions. It’s a bumper, wasn’t that hard to figure out. Laid out bolts and bracket. Took about an hour to remove old and install new. Tapped into reverse light on taillight for the leds. Very nice textured finish. You’ll need to relocate the license plate and need tag light for the plate.

Easy to install
Heavy build, looks good but a Little hard to latch
