Default Headlight question

Has anyone ever compared these headlights with those offered by RadioFlyer Inovations? They look identical but at 1/2 the price.

Default You mean this.

Funny you asked. I had them ACA that's the one on driver side. I also had a set from another vendor .
Today I installed the one your inquiring about.

I wish I could get them without the projector. Just housing so you can install what you want but it a good set.

The version you've posted comes with a halogen projector low beam and halogen high beam. They are mis-aligned by design.

The version from Sharp Light Innovaitons (Formerly Radioflyer Innovations) has a purpose-built Bi-LED projector (the projector has low and high beam function) and the high beam is a Cree LED chip bulb. The optical performance of our kit is not even in the same generation as the halogen version.

curious how long that took and difficulty factor? Based upon how many bloody knuckles 😂 or was it fairly easy swap and how much difference did it make at night driving ?

No bloody knuckles, took about 3 lazy hours. 1000% improvement. The only problem was figuring out the passenger side wiring harness, once I did it was very obvious. Me and wiring are not friends.

I bought the Radio Flyer product years ago. Buy once, cry once.
RF is a proven vendor on this forum. And I didn't want to buy junk just to save a few dollars.
I have never regretted my purchase of the headlights.
