Fog Lights and Rigid Pods

I have ordered a new bumper and will probably be getting these Rigid lights. Does anyone know if I can just use the current wiring for my fogs. Basically, I want to cut the stock fog wires, and splice in the Rigid.

 

You might not want to use these for you fogs only because you can't direct the beam, it is a fixed light beam, more for a rear backup light for the rear bumper. You want to make sure that the lights do not directly go into the windshield of an oncoming car. I know that they do make adapter kits that plug into your fog light connector and them plug into the rigid. Also, check your local state laws regarding if you need a DOT approved fog or not. Rigid does make them.

 

Just to clarify I wasn't going to use them as fogs.

 

This is why most use the cube lights from rigid. Because you can direct the beam, up or down or left or right and then tighten them into that position.

 

That's what I was asking. Those rigid are super bright btw, great for the rear.

 

I know that caliraised sell the adapters. Just make sure what type of connector the rigid have first.

 

Now I'm wondering if there is a light that is dim enough I could use them as fogs???

 

I would like to use them for the rear, but I already ordered an RCI rear bumper, and it takes a long light. I also ordered a front full hoop bumper from them, and the fog cutouts are square. I really wanted to use a flush mount for the front, and it would be great to be able to still use the front lights as fogs. I just dont want to spend $300 on Rigid

 

This is what I followed when I shopped for my cube fog lights. This guys threads are extremely informative and really is thorough.

Oh wow thanks man. Im sure I can find something in there to work for me

 

I actually went with the ones from "offroad town" and never looked back. My only regret was not getting them in amber.

 

Haha those are the one's I have pulled up on Amazon looking at. Do you think this will work to on them? it says works on any square LED Pod, but you never know

 

This is just a flush mounted plate that the cube front is going to screw into but it wont let you adjust it. The cubes themselves come with brackets. What type of front bumper are you going with?

 

RCI full hoop front and also an RCI rear. I was sooo close to a HC rear bumper, but decided not to cut my truck up too much. I thought this rear was a good compromise since it has a hidden hitch.

 

Perfect, exactly something that I wanted you to notice. In the first pic, the truck has a flush mounted led pod. This will not be able to be adjusted and definitely not road legal. The second pic, looks the same, but at closer glance you see that it isnt flush mounted at all. It is mounted to the bumper with the bracket that came with the led pod and mounted behind the hole on the bottom. This can be adjusted and road legal because it can be aimed at the road and then tightened down to stay that way, and not into oncoming traffic into people's eyes directly. IMHO, forget getting any flush mounted plates and just use the brackets that come with whatever pod you have.

 

I think I will go with the Offroadtown and not do the flush mount. I will have a 30" light bar in the bumper, and have ditch lights. That will be plenty, and I will then be able to keep my fogs. Thanks for all the help/input.

 

No problem, glad I could help give you as much info as I could so you can make the best decision first and only once.

 

Rigid and a few others make DOT approved fogs. I run the rigids and use the CaliRaised adapter harness that goes from the factory harness to the deutsch style of connector.
