Buying from headline specifications alone without checking beam pattern, physical fit, installation and system compatibility.
When is a premium option worth it?
When it materially improves output, durability, safety, reliability or long-term usability.
What should I verify before ordering?
Confirm current dimensions, mounting, included hardware, electrical or mounting requirements and vehicle compatibility.
Why are there five recommendations?
