No more speculation ='s same manufacturer. GC

Is it possible they’re blems or seconds? Or is diff in price just greed?

Mine (2nd set) are coming today from Amazon, the Larsgensuperblazerlaser (same package and CREE chipset) $119.00 ea. Time permitting, I'll have them installed at the FBI pizza gathering tonite.

I suspect because they're the very latest there maybe competition among re-sellers? I see up to $100+ variation for what appears to be the same package and chip set.

AND, depending on how the fog lights are wired, they may be left on when the high beams are ON, or not. Then there is the turn signal lights and hazards to consider.

LOAD resistors or (no load) LED relays or a combination of the two...is where I'm at...for the moment.

It's all pretty simple, really; once you lay it out. But, there are a lot of places to waste money and end up with...issues. There are 18 (if I counted right) exterior filaments, and some interact with one another, and some provide the necessary paths to ground for others.

It's the makings for a HOTB article, ya think?

I don't think so. Anythings possible but they are in the identical retail box
