Just curious if anyone has heard of this brand

I've heard of this company before. Basically they sell the chinese made LED stuff. Some good, some bad. I am running their LED DRL bulbs in my '11 with absolutely no issues in the past year and a half that I've had em.

From the looks of it, they're the same as the oracle afterburners. From what I've been able to discern from lots of reading and comparing, Oracle buys the chinese shit and then marks it up alot, and sells to you. These appear to be nearly exact replicas of the Oracles, and perhaps from the same assembly line, just not Oracle branded (or priced).

One thing you may want to consider is the customer service aspect of it. I have no idea how oracle's CS is, however I'd like to think that their price comes with solid after-purchase support. I'd be willing to bet you probably won't get the same level of support from iJDMTOY, however if you pick these up off of Amazon (for $15 cheaper and free 2 day shipping!) then you'll at least have Amazon backing the purchase, so a return/exchange would probably be easier to handle.

short version? Buy from amazon if you really want them. They're probably the exact same product as the Oracle branded ones, at a significant discount to Oracle's $200+shipping price tag

Idk man.. the reviews aren't too good ..,

hazy · 02-19-2016, 01:08 PM

well, like I said...it's a crapshoot. And truth be told, reviews aren't all that great on the Oracle LED afterburners, either. Lots of reports of single LEDs going dead. I love the look, but this is what has kept me from picking them up. I'm not interested in slicing open my lights only to have shit break on me in a few months after any type of warranty period.

only you can decide if it's worth it...for me, despite REALLY wanting this effect, I decided that I'd rather spend my money elsewhere in order to not deal with the hassle.
