    I have a pair of Rigid SR-Q Pro P#915313 which I plan to run for offroad fogs on my 2014. Would if be safe to run these two lights directly on my factory fog switch? I purchased a pair of the H11 to Deutsch connectors and plugged the Rigids into the factory fog harness, everything worked fine but how safe will they be to in the long run?

    The Rigid kit came with their harness, relay, switch but just trying to keep everything clean and run the factory fog switch if possible.

    Factory H11 fogs draw about 4.6A, those draw less than 3A, so it is less power than stock. Won’t be a problem.

    There is a relay involved in the factory fog lights...OP is asking to use the switch alone...or he and you forgot about the relay.
    And the blue,nice thick 22 awg gauge, wire.

    Unsure what you are trying to imply. He stated getting an adapter to run the Rigid lights directly off the OEM fog light plug, using the OEM fog light switch. The OEM fog light plugs use an OEM relay to run off the OEM switch. You cannot run lights off the OEM switch alone and bypass the OEM relay without significant custom wiring, which is clearly not what the OP is stating when he says he has adapters to plug into the OEM H11 foglight connectors off the factory harness. The OEM halogen fogs are 55w, the Rigid LEDs are 35w. It won’t be an issue.
