I agree that this is mostly due to different experiences. Years ago when I was fixing my cars up on a High School or College budget I was forced to buy the cheapies (no name Chinese off brands) However, in less than a year there was always something wrong with them. After several examples of that I decided you get what you pay for. Since my budget was still tight I opted for middle of the road quality, which in my case were low end KC lights. After several years, they never failed me. Earlier this year I did splurge and bought some Rigid Pod Lights for my new Jeep GC and was blown away with the quality. I can tell they are a step up from even KC. Is that really worth it? Not sure since my KCs never failed either. Probably comes down to style at that point. So for me, the sweet spot are likely those middle of the road brands. But I will not buy those cheapo off brands ever again. IMO, the cost of installing them (or my time) isn't worth it.I guess we've had different experiences. I think you can get very good lights for little money, often from the same factories turning out high dollar products. I've done it with both light bars and pods. I also see all the positive reviews on some of them. There is just very little difference in the product at the end of the day on something like a pod LED. They are simple and cheap to manufacture. You can either pay a lot or a little for similar quality, but with different names.
