Chinese scrap

I bought this headlight instead of a rusty one at an old dump. I also bought NEW DORMAN set screws. The screws do NOT go in the side slots that they should. At nearly $50 each, I do NOT have to file and tighten the screws!

Pros
  • Easy-to-read control panel
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

The Chinese strike again!

This is absolute junk, the lamp socket didn't fit, had to use the old one, the adjustment slots for the side screws didn't take screws and had to be modified so I could use them. If I wasn't pressed for time I would send it back and order a genuine GM piece of gear!

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Other Other

Cheap junk. JUST A BUCKET, NOTHING ELSE.

Junk. The Chinese assembly strikes again. This is PURE garbage. For $50 for a stamped piece of flimsy sheet metal, that's no good. NOTHING COMES BUT A BUCKET AND A RING. NO SCREWS, NO SPRINGS, ADJUST THE CLAMPS NOW, NO ADJUSTING SCREWS. LIST WRONG.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Poorly thought out

Does NOT come with a "complete " set of hardware.

Warning, the description says "Complete Kit - Contains the hardware required for a full repair." You will need new springs as these are not included. I will change my rating after dealing with the support team

Pros
  • Great
Cons
  • Not bad

Fits IC bus with slight mods

Worked on a 2004 IC CE 200 school bus with some mods (still 5 start because they didn't advertise it as cooperating with internationals so I expected a little discrepancy). Bend the top tab so it's flat and sand down the side hole to make it a little thinner. Paired with new NAPA set screws (not included) and my old spring.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • High price

The perfect spare part. Two thumbs up!

Light enough to install on my International Loadstar truck. The mounting bolt slots were slightly different, but they weren't listed for my truck, so I was expecting a bit of modification. I am very happy with the product and it came out much cheaper than the international truck version. Very high quality workmanship, the pears fit perfectly. Definitely a great buy!

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • I'm having trouble

Adjusting screws don't fit

It's just a bucket. The kit does not include a spring or two adjustment screws. The C-shaped hole that the set screws go into is not shaped to fit the collar of the screws. They just won't fit. I put a screw in the hole and it fell out. These buckets need to be modified to actually work. Terrible design, why is the screw hole open on one side? I ended up bending my original buckets back into shape and making them work. Much easier than trying to get these crappy things to work. The metal on…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
