These look like the same ones that @tworley mentioned early in the thread. I have been running these for a couple years also and would recommend them.
Any experience / recommendations for knock off LED headlights

had to go back and look at what I used, it's not a rare earth magnet but a ferrite core on the wiring like you see on a computer power cord. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CWCSNW9/?tag=wranglerorg-20
A ferrite core is a tiny round donut or cylinder shaped passive device, it's not powered.
Better to use better quality LEDs that typically aren't noisy.
yeah, I'm cheap. if I have to deal with the static I will, but it would be nice to try this. so from my understanding, it's not an electrical device, but it gets clipped "around" the wire, correct? if so do you clip it around the power for the noisy object (headlights) or the power for the radio?
+1 to this. I love these LEDs, but you have to aim them wayyy down. I had to remove the buckets and install some washers on the adjustment screws to get them to aim even lower.
I would do both. But you also need to loop it through, not just a straight wire.
OP
Thanks to everyone for their experiences. Truck lite knock offs have been ordered - fingers crossed the experience is good, and thanks for all the info related to how far down they need to be aimed. Only headlights I've ever "aimed" were the Hella Ecodes, and their cut off is so sharp it was simple.
You cant go wrong. I have had these for over a year. And they are great.
I have to much else to spend money on than to drop 3 bills on lights. Just mho.
I have the trucklight knockoffs. I like the pattern/cutoff a lot better than the JW speaker knockoffs I had before. Those had some really stark and obvious boundaries around a distinctly rectangular hot spot. They lit up the road just great but I never could get to a point where I didn't notice the hotspots.
Love this rear bumper! does the bottom of the tire touch the bumper? I'm running the same tailgater/carrier set up... I have 35's though... Thank you in advance for the info.

No the tire clears the bumper. These are 33"s and I measured a 1 3/8" gap between the tire and bumper.
I'm also not using the extended brackets that came with the MORryde system that raised the tire carrier and pushed it away from the tailgate. So depending on your tires actual size, it may or may not fit if youre not using the brackets but if you are, it should fit no problem.
Here is a link to their website where I ordered mine.
https://www.oedro.com/oedro-rear-bu...-2x-led-lights-off-road-textured-black-bumper
They are on sale for 188.99 with free shipping if you use the code midoct10%.
I just bought a set similar to this. I got the shipping notification and they should be here Tuesday.
Curious, were they pretty easy to wire? I know I will probably have to run a wire to a fuse under the dash so I can make them come on while the headlights are off, but how was it to get to the blinker wire? Any insight on what color wire I am looking for to tie into?
These are the ones I got. No complaints after a year.

10 month review of Sunpie 7" with halo:
Good: Light output remains very good compared to stock, no noticeable degradation. No issues with the lens, no cracking, no condensation.
Bad: This month, the driver's side turn signal halo now only lights up 25%. The white DRL halo still lights up all the way around. There's some RF interference for radio only but I listen to Spotify on phone so that's not really an issue for me.
Better: After a few emails back and forth with Sunpie customer support, they are sending a new unit at not cost from China and should expect it in 15 days. I was not expecting that but I am pleasantly surprised.
I will update again if/when the new unit actually arrives.

Follow up: Replacement light arrived today from Sunpie - much faster shipping than expected. Have not wired it up to see if it works yet.
There are hundreds of knockoff LED headlights out there so if anyone is trying to choose between vendors know that Sunpie has been pretty good with customer service.

Yep, that pretty much echoes everything I've heard from others about Sunpie and the generic Chinese LED headlights. They will almost surely fail on you at some point, but they'll almost always send you a replacement.
It is what it is really. Similar to how Autozone and all the other places are with their "lifetime warranty". Fortunately headlights are easy to replace.
