RIGID LED's, How do you think they perform for you? I have had mine for a good 5-6 months or more and am Very impressed with them. Now that the early Darkness and Fog has set in here in the Pacific NW I am Stoked to report that I made the right choice. They Blast out the Light, Deer in the Head Lights has a whole new Meaning!

SeattleMike hits close to home for me. GodSpeed Brother! :hello:

I plan on getting 4 6inch SR's, do you have any pics of the output? How's the glare on the hood?
 
Thanks for the pic, I just ordered mine with a 30" E-Series light custom bracketed in, Gobi did not charge any extra for the change. Pix when I get in January.
 
Rigid Lights - worth it

I have a set up of 4 E-series lights 2 - 6" Spots in the center and 2 6" Floods on the sides. In the back I have 2 Duallys. For the E-series needed the Rigid U-brackets. Had them wiredhot with 3 switches, 1 for spots, 1 for floods, 1 for rear. Had Hi-Tech Auto & Truck in Chantilly, VA wire them up for me - they did an awesome job.

Performance is unparalleled. I can put the sun to shame. At night the moon reflects MY light.

The rear lights are what I use most often - my only issue with them is how far away they cast the light from the rear of the truck partly due to the rear fairing thing on the 4Runner. I have been contemplating putting the lights on gooseneck mounts so I can control the light better when I'm working behind the truck or camping - added functionality.

My only qualms are that I really like the look of the round off-road lights and the added protection of a metal grill/cover. My wife says I put a tiara on my car because its so "sparkly." :nono:

If there aren't some good night shots posted of these lights on the road soon I'm gonna scream. Not that anyone will care that I'm screaming, but hell I'm gonna scream anyway.
Let's see how good they are! I want to compare them to my cheapo Hella's... :)

Who in the hell cares what they like during the daytime?!
 
The rigid"s at night

Okay, Mr. Ants in your pants, Antman! I was awaiting some better images that represented the lights better but these will do for now.

When viewing these images bear in mind that it was a full moon night and snow was on the ground. Snow being important as its white and white reflects light.

If you have any further additional questions, feel free to ask, I will try to answer/capture them for you.

Thanks!

SR Rear lights

It look's like a major "blind spot" so to speak, however you would be surprised how great they are in the drivers seat.

Thats not what i was intending to do at all. Its great having people like you on this forum. Its was simply a little bit of a laugh. Intended not for mockery but for humor. So apologies and edit has been made! :)

You should be a poet, that was awesome! :hatsoff:

Jokes aside, if you or any other's have any other questions on the lights let me know and i'll do my best to reply.

woopsie daisy! Now, thats funny! I will let you know further about the gas struts when I call him today ( as far price etc...).
 
OP, do you happen to have any pictures of the mounting?

I would like to get me a setup like that, but I do not want to be getting a roof rack.. :\ Contemplating getting cross beams, and mounting on them, but I do not know if that'll work..
also, do these lights create much noise at the highway speed?

The gobi rack comes with mounting points. I think people use these, I'll be using 4 of the SR cradles.

"U" Cradle for LED Light Bars.

I guess you could get some kind of cross beam and mount them with these
