Not doubting, but without a source, it's he said she said.
Disclaimer: I run only Rigid Industries led lighting on my Tacoma. Would run other top tiers, but never offbrand Amazon and eBay look-a-likes. I have seen first hand the lack of quality in light pattern.
Have Baja Designs on my truck and love them. Have had ebay ones and its a night and day comparison. being user serviceable is so nice, dont like the beam pattern, change it, crack a lens, change it.
I used to think that too. to many first hand issues with them, from the powdercoating flaking off to condensation in them. Switched to BD and couldnt be happier.
All I can say is that the same Vision-X lights that I put on my colorado pre-runner in 2006 are still trouble free. If I'm going to spend money on expensive parts, I want them to work properly, and I want them to last.
