Im sorry, but am I the ONLY one who find this extremely fishy.

Spyder auto claims they create these products, yet they show up to the market several months after Go Recon and several other Ebay Retailers?

I'm sure theres ONE company that makes them, probably some factory in China. Then companies like Spyder and those other guys on ebay buy the product and resell it.
Lots of big electronics companies used to do this before they got big enough to make they own products. Ever noticed that Best Buys in house brand looks alot like Costco's in house brand.

Exactly. Im just calling them out on it.
i can find these exact same products on ebay for a great price. If they can beat the ebay price then id be all over it.

If they're going to come on here and bold face lie and say they're superior to the same identical product and they want 200 more then i will call them out on it.

I have to agree, now that you mention it. The OP's first post specifically states that they are the manufacturer of these lights. If that really is true, then why would you manufacture the EXACT same product that others are making?

Exactly. They're ordering these from the same plant in China as everyone else. Putting their names on it and claiming to be the geniuses that first brought it to the market!

The same day Go Recon announced they had the led/halo lights for the 4th gen, i found the same identical lights on ebay for 1/2 the price.

compared side by side in person they're identical!

Its not like its a new thing in bussiness to do this though.

Actually I found a company that makes NFL, NHL, MLB jerseys that are IDENTICAL to the ones that get sold in stores. for 1/8th of the price. So I bought a bunch and turned arround and sold them for double what I paid for them but still half of what they charge in stores.

Looks are nothing. I want to see pictures of the headlights lighting up the road at night, compared to stock. If they don't do a better job at lighting up the road at night why bother?
