Hi, I was wondering if I look at the light pods, I see urban asking €2800,- and on AliExpress the same? For €2000,- less? I understand margin. But this is steep.

anybody bought them on AliExpress?

its worth the gamble…

 

Urban created them and everyone on Ali copied them.

One thing going for urban is that they use Lazer Led lights. the lights alone are over 1000

 

Just what you want in a snow storm...

 

I think urban have the
produced in china… and the fabric is running extra batches. Vulkan is selling them as wel. But agreed i do
like the lazer optics a lot more. There pods are great as well.

what do you mean with the snowstorm comment?

 

Have you ever driven in a snow storm with bright white lights mounted high on your roof lighting up the snow on the windshield and hood. ?

No rally car driver would ever mount their driving lights behind the bumper for a reason... But if looks are your thing please enjoy the bling..

 

hahaha assumptions my friend…. You sound a bit like you know it all. But not where I live….

Not for the bling. For more light. More
limen

I live in the Netherlands, a small country in Europe. And it is meant for dark country roads. And a bit for left laners .And it wil be manually switched. For that one and only blizzard….

Blizzards or only once in 10
years over here…

but thanks for your great comment….

 

I live in California a large state in America and I drive canyon roads in the mountains where we get "snow and fog" often. Driving with white lights mounted behind the windshield up high is the very last thing you want to do if you want to see where you are going without thinking you are on hyperdrive. But you sound as if you know it all..

 

entertaining to witness the childish behavior.

the topic was why there was a difference in price between urban and other copy cats. Nobody ask for opinions and their preferences

Urban obviously has their plastic pod made in Asia and it has been copied by everyone at this point. it’s the led lights that is the real difference.

if you are truly using it for utility i would look into Lazer lamps technology. they have several integration kits for the Defender. If you don’t care for the looks there are better options that will cause less wind noise. That is the biggest compliant of any roof light pod.

Thanks for this reaction. Helps a lot. And yes i lurded in a childish reaction.

lazer looks fantastic.
lazer linear 18 elite with pods, or grill. But I really don’t like the look on the grill dispute the advantages. And yes I’m unloved with the looks of my in alril
upvomkng car. I do care about that. But those
lazerlights really do stand out!

cheers!
