Gizmosforall...anyone heard of them?

Hey, I bid on and 'won' 2 KC STYLE 130W Daylighter offroading lights on ebay. Now I know you get what you pay for, but has anyone heard of the company "Gizmosforall"? Its the company that is sending the KC style lights to me. I was just curious if I got something halfway decent, or just spent $60 on a POS that I might as well use for 2 chrome paperweights...

I also got a heavy duty wiring harness that came with the lights, so I assume its not too bad a deal. 1/2 the price, hopefully 3/4 the quality?

I'm not looking to spend a buttload of $, but would like to be able to light up the trails at night a bit more than with what I have.

Thoughts?

KC 'STYLE' lights? They are likely not any name brand from the sounds of it. And if the wiring kit doesn't include a relay, toss it in the trash (or at least add a relay to it, the wire might be ok but...).

When I purchase from Ebay it's because I know exactly what I'm getting... have seen pictures, done some online research and simply looking for the best price. That said, I'm curious to see the ebay link to see what they actually say about the item. Now they could ship you a pair of junk off-road lights because they thought that one off-road light looks like every other. I wish ya the best of luck and hope you get something good.. But chances are, at that price you won't recognize the name and it'll probably be a low-quality imported product.

KC "style" means nothing more than they're a cheap knockoff of a KC light. You simply got a knockoff that they are misleading people on to believe it's a KC brand light. You probably got a $60 set of lights that would sell for $30-50 anywhere else.

It helps to ask these things before you bid and win them.

Thank you for the reality check guys. I will probably be sending them back once I receive them. I have heard of refunds after reading the sellers ebay reviews. I had done a decent amount of research about which driving lights I wanted, I was just too quick to respond. When I bid on them I didn't read the word style and I only noticed it after the fact. Jerry, I definitely trust your word, I should have looked more into it before agreeing to being the 'winner'...oh well lesson learned again. Some idiots need to learn the hard way...

So I must say that Mark at Gizmosforall was a pretty quick response to my query about canceling the order. He didn't make a big issue out of it at all, so I have to give a good positive note to the seller, and I was able to cancel my order! Now to save the extra $60 and get the real thing! Thanks everyone!
