In the past the main concerns on the knockoffs were
1.. DRL led burnouts
2.. Brightness of the DRL in daytime.

I’ve never heard of that brand nor seen the lights. If burnout and brightness are a concern and depending on your budget, I’d say get the Morimoto XBs. They’re pricy but I haven’t had a single issue with burnout or brightness. It replaces your whole headlamp (low beam/high beam LEDs) not just the DRLs. They look great and receive all kinds of compliments. Here are some photos of them installed.

Ok so what I found is those headlights are a product from K2motors dba SpecD tuning I think a Southern California company. They caught caught in a carb lawsuit in 2021 (basically selling intakes and exhaust in California that didn’t pay the carb tyrant tax. And most likely didn’t put a “for off-road use only” disclaimer..) seems they are mainly focused on lighting now and have a lot vehicles they have options for.. the price seems kinda low but not dollar store scary low.
The civic Acura and budget beemer crowds seem to like their products. (But idk) going with the Mormoney moto lights you do get peace of mind for a price.

That being said if one of these broken brained crackhead that frequent my surrounding area breaks one of my headlights because it was talking smack to them… I’d probably get the K2M/SpecD headlights as a emergency replacement till I could afford a premium replacement.
For that peace of mind feeling i mentioned earlier.

personal style (not hating on the look of these lights in question….but…?.) they look close to the Tacoma headlights imo
. I’d like to steer away from the swarm of TRD’s look as much as I can to look more “Ford” as I will call it…And (again my own personal style.) I like the lariat headlights most. (Original OEM lariats… I have a XLT so I missed out on those and the went on the “To-Do” mod list.)

If you’re hesitant about the company I’d say wait and save up to get the premium brand… unless you are in a my headlight housing is busted up and need new ones situation I briefly mentioned.

dang it “you get what you pay for” mentality you’re so expensive.?
Anyway my two sense and somewhat irrelevant to have I tried them original title… however I did reinforce your quality concerns ?.
I went knock off brand when I had a 2001 Impreza 2.5rs coupe ten years ago because I couldn’t get a decent priced pair of oem ones (they worked well for a few years) and knock off quality has improved since then….
But that low price still clenches my buttcheeks on the ones you’re asking about.

I think you should go with socal’s recommendation of the mm xb ones if you can hang in there and wait a bit longer to burn that hole in your pocketbook.
good luck buddy
