Zero percent the same other than the photoshopped pic ;)

ARB led's are made in the USA.

Time and time again we hear the "made in the same factory" rhetoric and I must remind you all, Chinese manufacturers can make anything look the same as a popular item, even an item made a few miles away BUT the material specs, quality of assembly, product support, etc are apples ans oranges.

your full of ****.

ARB stuff is all made in china.

ARB stuff is all made in china.

Namely?

Bumpers, racks and steel/alloy goods are produced in-house in Australia and at their facility in Malaysia. IPF is predominately Japan. Air Lockers are made in their Aus facility. BP51's are made in Aus. Various OME suspension is made in Aus, Malaysia, US and elsewhere. Some soft goods (chairs, bags, tents, straps) are made in China, no secret there.

To say all is made in China is simply false, in fact their products are made predominately elsewhere.


ARB LED's are made in the USA by Rigid Industries. Plain and simple. I've spent time with many of the knock-off manufactures at SEMA, APEXX and direct inquiries to us, while things look the same, they are not. The LED's are easily distinguishable. Have you in fact ever had a set of the ARB LED's in hand?

You have the flood covers on those right? If so, do you mind popping them off and taking another night shot? thanks!

So I ordered a set for my Cherokee and to my surprise they came labeled ARB with 2 different filters. I will tell you on the ARB bumper there's no way to mount, them I test fit them to the winch fairlead but I will be making mounts for them to come off the light tabs in the correct location.
I've used them a few times and all I can say is wow unbeatable for the price I paid. I will be using them in New England all winter and will give an honest review as I go over the next 4-6 months.

A good friend of mine and fellow expedition jeeper, works at Cruser Solution they build custom restorations of Toyota land cruisers
He said visually they are identical if that matters to anyone.

Another shot of them just out of the package.
If you are asking why in the picture of my jeep you see an ARB 2500 awning and bumper and snorkel , then you see me buying knock off ARB lights, I'll offer this explanation I'm not sold yet on LED lights in cold climates that see heavy snow and ice. I've read reports of guys being stranded after switching there head lights to LED, and with out the heat to melt the snow/ice the lights just cake over and become useless.

Sorry for the sideways pictures not sure why that's happening
