Got a side profile shot. Trying to get an idea how far it sticks out. In the market for a winch bumper myself.

Looks great

the top light is a black oak led and the bottom is a vivid made in China. Both are very bright! I started a thread last year titled “ I cut up my Platnum grill”, it has more info. I’m glad to answer any questions you might have.

Out of curiosity, regarding the Fog Lights, were you able to use the existing factory Fog Light wiring to connect the new Rigids?
I've been looking at new front bumper options and have been wondering about connecting the Fog Lights.

Does your truck have the ACC? If so, is it still functioning correctly and where does it mount? Can you get a close up picture of that?

Thanks,

Chris

yes, I used the original factory wiring for the rigid SAE led’s, but I wired the outer amber led to a upfitter switch. I think too much draw to wire all four pods to the factory wiring.

I've been running all four Rigid LED fogs thru the factory fog switch for 5 months without a problem.

The wire gauge is much thinner then the rigid’s, I personally wouldn’t trust it. The sure answer is to figure the amperage and compare. I didn’t do that.

If you want to not have to worry about it all, then just use the oem fog light wire to trigger a relay that then allows power to flow to the Rigid fogs. Then they act as if they are being powered by the oem fog light circuit but really they are being powered by a standalone ciruit with its own fuse.
