    Anyone deal with them? Got "sponsored" but I was required to purchase 100$ plus of product to show I was serious about the brand and not just in it for free lights. Sounded sweet and during payment got replies within seconds. Ordered them may 14th

    If they truly have a 7w LED chip, they might be worth it. Claimed IP69 is nice too.

    Has me curious

    Got them yet? Would love to see some quality! And I was LITERALLY looking at lightbars when this popped up.


    Not gonna lie, at first I thought you were fed up with lightbars, and were saying 'Fuck' lightbars but being respectful :rofl:

    When it's too good to be true, it's usually too good to be true

    Spent a 100 buck and get sponsorship?

    So we went from telling people that these were cool and the sponsorship was a good thing to disputing CC charges? Have you tried calling them? Trust me, stuff happens so I want to give them the benefit of the doubt. All said if they really did just screw you over then zap em.

    As for the sponsorship piece did you have to have any sort of level of social media following? What were you promised in return for your $100?

    I didn't think they were cool nor too people they were good. I think above was a miscommunication and all the media and stuff was going to be outline in my contract I was supposed to get. And any thing from prototype rocklights to pods

    Not an overbrander.
    I bought 3x3 pods from these guys with the "sponsorship." It took over a month for them to show up. Every time I called, the main guy Dan would have some excuse about how the paperwork was being written up. When they finally came, the "sponsorship paperwork" was just a few sheets of paper requesting information about my truck. And also a request for a 20 dollar sponsorship fee. I dropped said sponsorship immediately and Dan gave me some bullshit.

    Overall, all they do is just get lights shipped from China and then sell them as their own. Not bad lights, just overpriced and slow.

    Don't buy from them, you'd get the same lights from Amazon for 1/4 the price and four times faster. I still run mine, only because I didn't want to deal with the return service. Imagine how that would be, considering their shipping service.

    Don't deal with FCK light bars.
