I wasn't disparaging the product. Simply pointing out the reality of getting things made in China.
The Chinese can build quality things as long as the company holds their feet to the fire. I own a Stevens (Savage) shotgun that is made in China and it is just fine.
With your lights failing in roughly 12 months the 2year warranty means the first replacement is on you with possibly a second but after that it will be on the the customer's dime.
Still a pretty crappy situation for $500 lights.
A suggestion for next time, mount lights on roof. At racing speeds you want as long a throw as possible in order to spot potential issues as far ahead as you can.
You will outrun the throw on the bumper mounted lights.
I put a set of those on my F350 last year but we had a dry winter here so maybe will get a chance to test them in snow this year.
They are heavy because they are built on their MT carcass instead of the AT one.
Not coming on above 6mph is ridiculous.
I live 10 miles down a dirt road with no ambient light beyond the moon/stars at night and the mirror lights would provide added visibility on a road where cattle, goats, deer and elk are known to pop out suddenly from the roadside.
My 4'10" Korean wife once got her dependent ID renewed wearing platform heels and the MP measured her at 5'3" and put it down on form. To this day she still tries to tell people she is that tall. LOL
Due to eyesight and other health issues my 4'10" Korean born wife can no longer drive at all but she daily drove her 73 Bronco for years with no issues.
