An eyebrow tint in the front windshield helps a lot to protect the lights if you have them hidden well. I bought two exprite units like these and they been working just fine. I think I've have them for two years with them already. I also have the back windshield traffic light bar from xsprite. That one definitely gets a 10 out of 10.

I also have a couple of these units and they have been in service for 5 years (on the front windshield) with none of the issues (warping) your unit has. Mine was also an Amazon cheapo, but branded as Tocus, not xsprite. Interesting.

I just got that one from amazon for $25 and installed it in my truck and tbh it’s decent and for the money I am a probie and and live a little far from the fire house and I realize that you need some kind of light to move people out of the way if you want to make calls. I plan on upgrading in the next year but for now the cheap one works fine and is very bright even in the day time

I ended up buying a Viper clone to replace 2 lights, an old Star Signal ULB9, the first gen with the exposed diodes, and a slightly newer HQRP light, I was talking about the new light and a new member of our force wanted to buy a light, I gave him a good deal on the HQRP, as I had recently replaced the cord and fixed some connections inside the light to improve performance, the LEDs were getting dim due to poor soldering, as when I reflowed the joints and added solder where needed it brightened up nicely, the ULB9 was an interim replacement for the HQRP, as it took awhile for the "Fiper" to arrive,, it's perfectly adequate for a stop gap when your old light just dies, as that's what the Star Signal did, the connections inside haven't taken kindly to my driving and have failed, it's fixable, but I don't have the time or patience to work on another light for now. Credit where it's due, that old HQRP, despite being an utter P.O.S is well made, all aluminum construction, a design that just works, little to no adjustment or assembly needed out the box, and it's bright enough for the price

Amazon is way more cost effective. Think about it this way, most people who need emergency lights in their vehicles and have to pay for them themselves are just going to want something that does the job and arent going to be interested in spending hundreds just for a light that may not be used all the time anyway. Whelen is best for police/security where the agency/company has loads of money and foots the bill. For a private individual, amazon beats whelen

Amazon lights are not SAE rated. If you get into an accident while responding and the lights are not SAE rated, you will loose the case, and your insurance company will not cover you. Its happen multiple times. 1 person local to me, their side lights were nit SAE rated. He was T boned and lost a $100k lawsuit over it that he had to pay out pocket. No Amazon lights are not cosy effective. I understand budgets. That's why i started my company which buy sell trades emergency lights. I get volunteers name brand lights for a fraction of new and what other people ask as well as sirens.

I can get used name brand for cheaper than I can get the China/Amazon Junk most of the time. Name brand costs more because they take the time to make sure they work and last. I've had cheap Amazon lights I threw on a offroad toy just for the fun of it. After a few weeks they was full of water and not working with zero warranty. I buy used whelen ions for 60 bucks a pair and most still have 2ish years of warranty or more left.

Good video, given me food for thought. I am wanting to redo my lights and siren.

Reach out to me if you'd like. I like supporting small start up companies, and of course my brothers & sisters in red and blue.
