Aurora Lighting

[The Macf]

Anybody know anything?

AURORA 50inch off road light bar - AURORA

My coworker is a rep for a company that sells these. Obviously they're cheap chinese knockoff's but their spec sheet looks pretty legit (because everything on the internet is 100% true)

Yeah, they're "Chinese knockoffs" - actually, Aurora has ripped off Rigid Industries and they've had to engage with their lawyers and spend a pile of money on a lawsuit with a Chinese company because Aurora has simply copied Rigid's designs and are selling them at Chinese prices.

Is your buddy the guy selling on the Wrangler forum without paying to be a vendor on that forum? Are you trying to sell for him here?

I'm going to watch guys with $60,000 trucks do scientific err internet comparisons of the products while bragging about how much money they saved helping Chinese companies kill American companies and US workers' jobs.

Couldn't tell you. All I asked for was if someone had heard anything about these lights. You could've stopped after the first paragraph. Take your internet politics elsewhere.

So Dan, let me run something by you. Go pull off one of your wheels or drop the spare. Take a look at the back side of the wheel and tell me what you see stamped there. Let me save you the trouble:

MADE IN CHINA

I can list half a dozen places where I have seen that on my American truck. Many more parts are assembled from parts made in China. So tell me again how my $60,000 truck is made in America?

I think we all get how important buying US products is to you. I am curious though how much you buy foreign products for your home. Do you own a Toyota or Nissan vehicle? How about a Samsung TV? Apple computer? iPad or iPhone? I bet half of the clothes you own were made in Pakistan. In my experience, when someone comes off all high and mighty about buying US made they are secretly doing just the opposite everywhere else in their lives.

Not trying to start an argument and I would rather you not reply. Just think about the questions I ask and see if they apply.

Chinese light thread + FRF = meltdown about buying American.

Equation holds true for the second time in as many weeks.

Who...the...****...cares...what...people...put...on...their...trucks?! This shit is as retarded as it is predictable and obnoxious. If a member wants to have a ******* thread on Chinese lights and that offends your sensibilities in some way, DON'T ******* READ IT. its simple.

Based on my experience going the cheap route when it comes to lighting I would pass on these.....because in the end you wont be 100% happy and just switch them out of something better.

I also learned my lesson when I bought Chinese lights for my saltwater aquarium(yes I am fully aware a Raptor is not aquarium). But what I found out is that the Chinese have no real safety standards and the lights ended up catching on fire since they used tar in the lights....prefer not to repeat the same mistake on my truck.

Looks like Dan has been busy...LOL

$632 for 4 x 5w flood cubes going in the bumper holes and a 5w spot going in the bumper grill including mounts and harnesses. Will post pics when I get them.

I think these Aurora's look pretty nice.

 

[M64D RAPTOR]

Get these installed yet. I have a set of the M&R hood mount V2's and they are brighter than any other light I have on my truck. I have Whelen and M&R LEDs. Need to get them back on the truck and put the whelens on the bumper.
