23" led ebay light bar or Hella Black Magic 500's w/ 35w HID conversion

Just as the title says, trying to decide between Ebay Led Light bar 23" (found a bar a friend has on his Jeep and w/ a few weather proofing measures, it has worked flawlessly for about a year w/ a lot of use.) OR Hella Black Magic 500's 35w HID conversion. Either one will be going on a bull bar I have. Thoughts on which to get???? Thanks!

Depends on the use, as the light output will be completely opposite of each other. I have both and the light bar, even with the combo pattern gives a wide spread of light without a ton of throw. The Hellas will give off narrow a narrow beam with a long throw.
I'd suggest the light bar for night wheeling, especially on trails, and the Hellas for high speed driving on the road.

Thank ya sir. I'm looking for something with the wide spread light so looks like the led bar is it. Appreciate the info!

I would definitely go with Hella due to its better quality, beam pattern/intensity and great warranty coverage! They aren't cheap Chinese junks.
