No FHE, but based on these reviews I'd look elsewhere: http://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/www.dhgate.com

Looks like they're based in China, so returns would likely be cost prohibitive.

Look at the left where it says "SPONSORS"  . . .

Monsterparts is a great place, great prices and best of all,  JEFF . . . Owner/Sales/Customer Service . . .

DHGate is ok for cheap China stuff, but AliExpress is way better. Neither are "sketchy", but you have little recourse if it doesn't work out. Check the sellers reviews carefully.

I have a clear one, BNIB if you're interested. Ended up going with a Vizi-Tech. They are great lights for the $$, I've used em for years with no issues.

Don't believe I could ever order, much less install, a part called "RamboWill" on my bike.

Double dittos re Monsterparts and Jeff!

Thanks for all the advice. I had checked monsterparts.com but i was really just being cheap. I'll probably just end up going with the Motodynamic lights, i've heard good things.

I've heard both good and bad. TBH...they are probably the exact same thing, made in the same factory. Nothing at all wrong with the China light. For a few dollars extra you can purchase it on eBay and get much faster shipping, buyer protection, and have a better idea of who you're dealing with by checking feedback.

What makes you think that?

Jeff is cool, by all means buy your Oberon mirrors and slave cylinder from him...but crap like this I say get the knock off. Looks identical and works just as well. Spend the $ you save on more stuff (from Monsterparts or Motowheels)
