My "walmart" light bars are holding up just fine after 3 years on the tractor. The one on the truck is going on 3 years as well. The truck isn't garaged it gets left out in all kinds of weather. Granted you can't buy the ones I have anymore but they where under 40$ each with the harnesses when i got them . The tractors light bar is used primarily during inclement weather (snow removal) and is mounted to the hood. It provides more then enough light to plow snow with. And the one on the truck provides enough light that I rarely use my factory high beams, and I live in a pretty rural area where streetlights are few and far between. Now I agree that "cheap isn't good and good isn't cheap" but if they went out in the first year I would have been happy. At this point it's just money in the bank for the lights.
