How sturdy is the parking light? Do these have a stronger plastic support thats better than stock 2000 silverado 1500?

They seem pretty sturdy. Have had them on for a while now and they are still intact. Same mounting system as stock 04 suburban

Hi Sam, are you using the transparent plastic holders? I noticed that they give much better support when installed.

I love mine and would definitely recommend it. Make sure to install them as close to your frame as possible. I ran over a piece of retread tire this weekend and busted my from led . " Oh the Pain!"

Yes I have several lights hanging on mine and some very heavy ones at that. It's solid steel. It will support it. It's not going anywhere. The only thing is, make sure to get C clamps instead of O clamps. The pipes are only an inch wide instead of the usual inch and a half-2in.

Candy, all I can say is for me they're ok as I have no trunk light for my 'basic' and economical motor vehicle. They're not BRIGHT, just bright enough to see a little without hurting your eyes. It was cold when I 1st bought the light making the push on/off feature a little difficult (it got better with the warm weather, no real problem now). There's no rust etc so you can say it's ok depending on what/where it's used. Probably a lot better somewhere stationary and inside.All that being said; I can't really say, sorry and good luck. :-)

Honestly man I have 4 of theses lights on my truck and I dont know how I went so long without them. If you are looking for a light that will light a farm road up like its daylight than this is the light for you the 6" 150 apollos are great the only thing I was a little iffy about was the light housing is made of plastic but its definitely proven itself to me haven't had any problems with them and its going on 2 years. Hope this helped you out have a good one.

Its been a few years since installing my light bars so I had to look. They appear to be mounted by double sided tape and its holding up well. Yes, they can be stuck on.

Hey, I'm in LA (away from my stands right now) but I think it supports up to 6lbs lights...I'll double check for you. However, the shipping weight isn't 50lbs it's light.

Yea man, I've bought 3 sets for my trucks and my dad's truck. Now I'm starting to buy them for reverse back up lights, they work awesome for backing up ! You're gonna love them and find a use for them no matter what, yes they're are pricy but I've gotten more compliments and more questions about these lights then the $3,000 suspension my truck sits on! �

The mounting bracket allows for 360 degree movement. mine are mounted on the front bumper of my truck but if I want I can aim them straight up in the air or back towards the grill.I go off road all threw the mud and mug In the rain and some snow already and have had no problems with them thay seem to be a very well sealed light. in my opinion for the price and the brightness of them you can not beat them , others on amazon r selling the exact same lightsfor a lot higher price

when I installed these on my Toyota Tacoma I had no issues. The one thing that you need to watch out for is the bolt that attaches the light bracket to the light bar sticks out quite a bit on the bottom. I mitigated this problem by using shorter bolts and my light bar is custom. Also the bolt that holds the light tight and it is mounted horizontally through the plastic tab on the bottom of the light. It seems to chew up the plastic on the light plastic tab if you get it to tight, if it's not tight enough when you start hitting bumps the lights will just fall. Personally I would recommend the hello black magic lights but they are a little bit pricier but I love them way more than these. Put these work good for the price and I put in a 100 watt bulbs instead of the 55 watt bulbs and they are awesome.

I have used similar ones in an outside post light with good results. Will install these and update is there are any issues.

I built my own stand with aluminum poles at each end to suspend light. By the way, the light works great! Heavy gauge wiring and low heat.

I crashed with mine and the light is still functional. The body is aluminum and has some gouges and scores from encounters with concrete and other parts of the bike. The mount is just plastic; mine broke when I crashed. Also, the mount doesn't grip tightly to metal or paint. Wrap some tape around the point where you plan to mount it and that will keep it from shifting around.

Almost a year on my truck. Still doing fine. My lights are mounted in my bumper.

Agree fully with my fellow purchasers comments preceding this reply, that they are plastic as are almost all of this type. Quality is excellent, sorry can't confirm that they acturally fit my vehicle (96 GMC), but its been to darn cold to work on my truck to install. At Amazon's price, I can finally afford to replace my old "fogged" lights.

The lights are not heavy. They are reasonably light. Double stick tape should hold them. It's worth a try. The screws worked well for me and I am very pleased with the light they provide.
