Haven't tried them, but I'd suggest buying a trusted brand like Hella, PIAA, Warn, ARB, Lightforce, etc.

Hella 4000's huh? Holy crap that is an expensive light. I would say this is about 20% for usability and 80% aesthetics. Just found a guy to fab me a rack for 250 just need some lights for it.

Hella 500 or Hella 700. My 700's were like $160 for two pair and they are a 7" 55w light. The 500 series is a little cheaper (price not quality) and a 6" light with 55w. I doubt you'd be disappointed with either. For that price I got the lights, light covers, wiring, switch, and relay; so pretty much all inclusive.

Those cheap ones are hella knock offs I am pretty sure. Same bulb/ power and come with all the hardware, wiring harness and switch.. 65$ for 4 I will let everyone know how they do. If they suck then lesson learned

Buy a decent light.

I am currently using the piaa 520 ATP lights. Good light for reasonable price.

I use tractor floods from Peterson. Two reasons:
1. They are cheap so if the get broken by an errant limb it's no great loss
2. You're driving tractor speeds off-road, or should be, so they provide plenty of light where you need it.

You do need a thick skin though because they aren't cool.

I put cheap lights on my rack for EXACTLY that reason. That being said, once I have my bumper and I can attach my brush cables, I'll see if they get hit at all. If not, I might consider going to a fancier light.
