Review on πŸš— IJDMTOY Smoked Lens 15-LED Tow Hitch Receiver Brake Tail Light with Strobe Feature - Compatible with Truck SUV Trailer Equipped Class 3/4/5 2-Inch Towing Adapter Hole by Richard Cartner

Cheap. You get what you honestly pay for.

I am buying these headlights to test them out. This is a cheap LED block that now has running and brake light circuits. The first inspection when unpacking is favorable. Cheap. Looks and feels cheap. The biggest and worst part, though, is that the entire backside of the PCB is exposed, looking into the light's "coupling hole". The couplings aren't sealed, you know, and water will get in. I will continue testing this light. The light works as expected. Weak running light circuit, strong brake light circuit and flashing only when braking and turning on the signal at the same time. It's very bright and has decent LED coverage across the light area, unlike incandescent versions where the bulb is in the center, creating more points of light or points of light. The wires on this lamp are thinner than others on the market but I am sure they will work fine. Main problem: water ingress from the back, a completely open and unsealed hole on the back of the board. Pros: Very bright. Works as intended. The shelf life of this product? Insecure and not very confident. You can find more reliable and better headlights from other brands for $15. The cost of a possible continuous replacement due to water damage is not low enough. Close the back and seal the board much better and it will probably be one of the best light sources.
