Review on ๐Ÿ”ฆ Blazer International 6-1/4" Round 100W Off-Road Light: Ultimate SEO-friendly Upgrade! by Marcus West

Revainrating 5 out of 5

For $11 why not? fits headlight assembly, parts and accessories

They seem to be pretty good quality for $11. I've compared them to KC flashlights and to be honest the glass body itself looks identical. Both use 100W H3 bulbs. They are both chrome plated and the funny thing is I know that in a few years they will probably rust, in which case I will either buy a new one or just paint them. Oddly enough, the KC headlights also rust. There is a very thick pliable rubber gasket holding the glass body and reflector which is tightened with a metal strap. Small update: the wiring is 18AWG. So if you want to prevent fires I suggest you rewire those lights. At least 14-16AWG wiring depending on where you place it and the length of cord you use. 16AWG is only really safe up to 8ft with an 8.3A bulb unless you want to put a lot of power into the light. I reconnected the wire to 16 GA, but only 4 feet, and combined the two lights into one 12 GA WIRE that goes to the relay and fuse. Also upgraded my alternator from 94 amp to 150 amp but yeah get rid of the 18GA wires on it. In addition, after 3-4 days in high humidity, the screws that attach the rubber sealing strips will rust. So I would replace them with stainless steel washers from an auto parts store. I haven't seen any condensation in the headlights yet and it was very wet and rainy in Virginia. Just make sure you tighten the straps very tight. They are a bit loose and I think some of the reviews about the condensate are because they are loose. Condensation can get into the flashlight from the screw, so feel free to add some silicone if that really bothers you. So, as I saw it, why would I spend $141 on two KC chrome highlights when I could spend $68 on 6 of them? If they rust on the outside, as I've read, they rust. I'll just paint them black. doesn't matter much. I've included her photos here and there. Faint Image - On a rocky road in the woods with Silverstar Sylvania headlights and regular 55W fog lights. In the second photo there are 4 of them on the roof and 2 on the bumper. Huge difference. It's been a few months with 6 headlights (4 on the roof and 2 bumpers) and they haven't rusted yet apart from the tape screw mentioned. The lights are still as bright as the day I received them. I often use them on dark roads. We have intersections where I live that aren't lit, and normal lighting isn't. People got killed on this crosswalk so I use them on this road all the time. No fog, no water has hit them yet. However, I don't like the price increase. From $7 in some reviews to $11 in mine and $14 in just a few months. It's still cheaper than anything else, but yeah. Edit #3: It's been 8 months since I installed it. I've had 0 problems with them so far. No rust has formed on them, either outside or inside, except for one. But there is only rust on the ball joint from below under the headlight itself. I didn't see any condensation in it. I still firmly believe that the people who keep writing reviews about it didn't tighten the clamp properly. I live in Virginia where it rains 50% of the time and the humidity is insane. The only thing I will change is to try brighter 130 watt bulbs and see what happens. Not that I'm complaining. But I'm bored and I want to fool around. I still highly recommend them. Especially if you have older vehicles. Also, people write that the LEDs are brighter. Yes and no. Most if not all LED modules on Amazon are the same modules sold under 50 different names (Chinese) and they all have one thing in common. Th3y advertise 120 watts and only use about 10 watts. The reason LEDs generally appear brighter has to do with white light. Our eyes see it better than yellow in comparison. lighter or not. I have a 32 year old truck and am not installing an LED bar to match a modern 4 door Wrangler. It just doesn't look right.
