Don't get fooled by a kc cover on a $10 light. Research and learn the differances and make sure they are indeed kc.

6" Off-Road Light System

That being said I've actually had really good luck with those. Just make sure you take them apart, paint the inside good, I like to clearcoat the inside and outside, and silicone the wire hole up. If the are mounted upside down siliconing the mounting bolt hole inside is a good ideal also. We have some of them pushing 10 years old now and they still look new.

Yeah, you can look at the center of the lens and it should say KC right in the middle. If it doesn't they are el cheapos.

I just got 2 Hella lights from my friend for 30, which was also a good deal, because they were 100$ new. But like everyone else said.. make sure they are really KC lights

I ended up passing up the deal because the guy couldn't confirm they were kc's. They looked a little suspicious when he said off-road lights instead of kc off-road lights or something like that. I'm almost positive they were knock-offs with kc covers. Bummer...
