Default Trailer Hitch Lighting

I'm about to get my hitch installed on the Jeep, and was looking into these lighting systems. No one around here has them, so I can't inspect the quality. Anyone have experience with them?

I tried one similar to that- lasted 2 weeks. Maybe it's just me but that's an area that catches hell on my trucks. I bought two industrial-duty armored truck floodlights and made up some brackets that pull them up and underneath- plus spread them apart. Worked like a charm. The law requires that they only work on backup lights so you need to conceal the switch- I used a relay and a diode in line with the backup light circuit.

Alright, thanks. Some other person who had bought one reviewed it saying it was easy to break. There's not a whole lot of action in that area of my Jeep, so I think it would last, just as long as I didn't back into a trailer or anything. I like the convenience of it, and the look.
