Not cheap! But often times you get what you pay for. I am happy with my purchases. If some other manufacturer feels they can offer a product for a tenth or less the price of bajas and claim they are as good or better in performance, why not do basic testing. My thoughts are under detailed lab like testing the lights above will not be comparable when spectrally analyzed. But that is yet to be fully determined.  |
the duty up to canada is ridiculous. shipping, FX and then duty really makes things expensive. I always try amazon if I can. overland outfitters and greenlane are my go to's if I'm looking for something that doesn't have to cross borders. I got hammered on a rago tray I bought directly from rago but I had no other choice. the lab testing is important, that's what I look for too. you say your light is waterproof, well let's see about that. but the flip side is well I just paid hundreds for these lights, I'll believe baja that they are waterproof and will survive being buried in snow during the winter.
now if I had a successful youtube channel that could finance these purchases I'd 100% do it. but I don't see many people testing their $500 baja lights lol. many of the videos and reviews are installs and instructionals and some long term use updates. which is fine for most people but if you're up in the slush and snow and road salt, seeing durability testing would be helpful
