I Bought Amazons CHEAPEST Led Pod Lights... And I'm Oddly Impressed

$10 LED Pod Lights: amzn.to/2sW86lu
Everyone likes to add some extra lighting to their offroad rigs. You've probably seen the cheaper ones on amazon, and youve probably seen the ones that cost hundred of dollars.
But have you ever seen a set that only cost $10 and dont look half bad??
If your interested in the giveaway for these lights, just leave a comment and let me know you want in! The only rule is that you are subscribed to JKGG.
In this video we are seeing if this deal is too good to be true.
I also install them on my Jeep Gladiator (Temporarily)...
What do you think??? Are you a fan of extra lights mounted on your jeep or truck for offroading at night?
Do you use your lights on back country roads?
Ive done a video on lightbars, and it seems like alot of people like them. This also leaves me to believe that most people are a fan of LED pod lights as well.
While i might not recommend these to everyone, i think they could be useful in odd places, and at the price of $10 there is no reason not to. Even myself, having no use for them, am thinking of buying another 2-3 sets, possibly as gift items lol.
I know this video might come off a little random, and out of place from my usual videos, but i thought it would be a good budget video for those who might want a lighting upgrade without spending big bucks.
If your someone who wants a higher end light, below is a medium priced upgrade, and then the best upgrade in my opinion.
Rigid: amzn.to/33YEyk6
Baja Design: amzn.to/2Yq2YBE

While they might not be the best lights... $10 is a steal. amzn.to/2sW86lu What are some of your other cheap mods that have turned out alright??

[@anthonycoffey816]

Cheapest mod I've done that still works is the zip-ties that hold my shift linkage to my transmission 🤣

[@reafkennedy3069]

I put a set of lights very similar to these under my back bumper on either side of my reciever hitch and wired them as backup lights. Been there for 5 years and still work great.

I went through 2 sets. Individual led’s starting going out. Finally just saved up and bought Baja Designs squadrons. No problems since

[@foihdzas]

Like others, I have these(or some variation of them) on my Jeep I park on the street at work, and don’t want nice pods to get stolen. These are easily replaced if stolen, and provide adequate light for the dollar. Theyve got my vote.

[@chrishoskins8070]

Already sold out on Amazon...they owe you a commission for sure!

[@JKGearandGadgets]

Hopefully they get more back in stock, but I’m not sure how they can even sell them for $10. Lol

@@JKGearandGadgets they are going to have to start dropping and chipping more of those $30-$50 lights in order to keep up with demand 😂

Those would be good rock lights! I would like them! But I would give them to the guy that had the stroke

[@rodgervanausdal5400]

Agree. Give them to the stroke guy! But I wouldn't mind having them.

[@mtnsacketts7886]

I love the cheep lights, I put a set a few years ago on my snow blower and they are still working great.

[@mattrobinson775]

I bought the cheapest grab bars I could find on Amazon for my jeep, they worked fine and still are good versus other brands available. They are definitely knock offs and aesthetically not that pretty but they do the job. My biggest concern with "nice" lights for my jeep is that anyone with a wrench can take them off within minutes. So I feel like I would use cheap LEDs for this reason.

[@aggrex]

Great reverse light and/or rock light option

[@bobby814814]

Need these lights for sure would be a good set of backup lights since tinting the windows and getting a tinted window soft top

[@fastfed]

Actually the rigid lights look much uglier and cheaper .

[@barryadams68]

It's about time someone told us something besides " cheap lights are junk". Not all of us have a $3000 budget for lights.

[@randomoldbloke]

3 years of tropical conditions and still working perfectly, no moisture inside unlike more expensive ones that got moisture in first time in rain

[@edwardpoff575]

I got that same set and I use them as backup lites on my jk. They have been working for a few months and doing good

[@barrylemons3235]

I’m building a budget Jeep so these would work great!! Love the show, keep up the great work.

[@lookin4dirtlasvegas882]

These would be perfect for my adventure trailer. Lighting the ground around base camp. Thanks for the opportunity.

[@johnhickman8199]

Loved your review of the $10 Amazon Pods. Yes I'd like to have these Pods. I think that like you said, they'll make great back-up lights. Thanks for the review.

[@1stzjtruck706]

Great job great seeing you back home with the family.

[@Aikidoman06]

I mount my pillar lights at 90 and 45 degrees from the vehicle. On the trail the light bar and pods give a 270 degree sweep of light. I’m a big fan of cheap lights. It hurts less when they get broken.... Thanks for the video!

[@ridered7262]

That's awesome, You guys are too cool. They look and seem to perform just like my Rigid lights.

I had A cheap light bar and cheap light pods ,. no issues on both had for 3 years..Some times things surprise you., same as my cheap led head lights , no issues over 3 years , and still are on my old jeep. for all lights cost was under 200$ for all of them..I will use them..

My 16 year son and I fixing up a 1996 Jeep Cherokee and we are calling it project sloth because it's taking for ever those lights would be great for this Jeep

[@the_black_jeep]

I run 8 of these for rock lights. Rolled through a frozen river up here in the north last weekend and definitely submersed them. Still work great. Even at -20°

[@J.Bradley.]

Dude this video and the comments have inspired me to mod my lawnmower. Crazy but I'm excited about it. I'm going to spray line it, add light pods/ bars and maybe some rock lights idk. Gonna do it all with the cheapest stuff I can find on Amazon.🤪 👍

[@supercharged00gtp]

Great video! This was insightful

[@Nobikedave]

Perfect for my Cherokee TrailHawk!

They would work really well for additional backup lights.

Same here..Been on for 3 months and still working.

Hell ya brother, that's exactly what I was thinking

Great video on the $10 lights. I agree would make some nice back up or rock lights for my rig too. Lol.

[@hawkie333]

Glad you didn’t electrocute yourself! Wonder if you could use silicone and improve seal?

[@mikeberry3759]

I'd take the lights, would be great for a starter build. I'm impressed with how well they are working! Would love to have them be a long term test

[@davidjandron1196]

My wife has a set of these on her JK, while the light output is ok, the finish after 2.5 years is trashed, (as you stated). They worked great just to get a set of lights on the Jeep but a good set will be replacing them. She never had an issue with yellowing or fogging up either which was surprising to me.

[@shawnvergilia1609]

They would look great on my daughter's Barbie Jeep and I've been really interested in picking up a set. They would really enjoy them this time of year when it gets dark or so early. We just had a serious winch out situation when they drive through the leaf pile.

[@rodtoler]

I could use them. Although I already have Rigid pods, I like your idea of using them underneath as rock lights.

[@steveforgues72]

Mount them on the kids power wheels. I’m sure they’d love that. LOL

I ran my chepa LED pods on a dualsport motorcycle for 2 years till the day I sold it they never failed on me or got foggy inside. Amazing. Oh and ran them on my kids quads too no problems 3 sets totall. I did strip the mounting threads on a couple but gorilla tape held them just fine lol. They all worked though.

[@richweber5090]

Very impressive and threw a pretty good flood pattern on the road. 🤘🏼 I’d take ‘em!! 🍻

[@Bringit29]

Work great on my Jeep! We also mount these on the bottom of our motorcycles facing down at the street so that when we ride wheelies and our headlights are facing straight up in the air these lights allow us to see in front of us while we are on the back wheel!! Smiles per gallon!! And they seem to take the abuse!

[@bizod]

Please Light up My life with these sweet little lights! My 98 XJ is woefully lacking. Great review BTW.

[@johnchapman7992]

I’d love those lights. My bronco could use the spot lights for finding a good camp spots at night

[@robertprice9052]

I typically buy the cheaper lights because it hurts less when a limb smashes them. I have yet to hind a quality to dollar ratio difference in expensive lights and cheaper ones. I installed rear facing lights mounted on my light bar mount. They are $20 2inch Amazon lights and the work great. I don't need them often, so it would have been fooling to buy a set of $150 lights. Keep the content coming! Thanks

[@rodgervanausdal5400]

Thanks for the review on what I would call a normal product for an average guy. My wife wouldn't bat an eye if I spent $10 on Amazon. But might go ballistic if I went to Extreme Terrain or another site and bought those awesome Rigid lights for $140. After watching your video and then installing my own S-pod setup wiring would be a cinch. You said something about if these $10 lights go bad and rewiring and such. But with the S-pod it has made it so easy to wire about anything.

[@scottwheatley6791]

Hey Ben, definitely could use those lights to replace my older cheap lights that the housing is all rusted on.

[@projectbumblejeep4190]

Thumbs up as usual! I have converted my 95 XJ to all LED (exterior) and am vary happy. All were purchased on Amazon and the whole conversion was under 150$ including the headlights. I also have spots under front bumper and floods in back wired to back-ups under rear bumper. All of these lights are Amazon "budget" LED's. Check out my build videos here on KZbin. Someone will be very happy with those lights. God Bless.

[@evansautomotive307]

Drill a hole in the top or bottom of the cheap lights put a rubber grommet on there and boom. You can even put rtv to seal the cover. I have had a nilight 20in bar on my Montero for 2 years its been submerged many many times and in all types of climates and it still works great.

[@dantheman9395]

Lawnmower lights. Lol! I had a 25 buck 21” Amazon light bar. It was pretty great

[@blakeholmes8691]

[@Bluelightbandit]

06:18 That's a unique dryer vent setup.

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

The reason why they are yellow is because that is the phosphor layer coating the LED die. White LEDs actually only produce two colors of light that your brain perceives as white when mixed together. The LED die produces blue light and as those blue photons travel through the phosphor layer, the phosphor layer produces its own light which is a yellow or reddish color (depending on the color temperature produced). When the blue light from the LED and the other color light from the phosphor mix, the brain perceives that light as white. So all white LEDs appear yellow-ish because of the phosphor layer. It looks like Rigid does a better job of hiding it.
