Yes, balls to the wall lighting!! Been a fan of Rigid Industries for years. I couldnt justify buying these, i could however justify installing them for my customers over the years.

and here


and here..reverse lamps HID and roof rack has the d2's on them


Now these are the D2's $200 each not the cheaper look alike dually $220 per pair versions!

So this is a write up kinda sorta.

To my knowledge 03-05 runners had the same bumper. the non round light version. My car did not come with OEM foglamps

First you remove the two 10MM bolts holding in the OEM Foglamp from behind and the one 10mm bolt holding in the turn signal lamp.

Now you will have two pieces out from the foglight/turn signal area

This next piece is the foglight blank. picture take from the top of it. on the bottom you see a slot. you need that slot to properly secure the turn signal lamp.


I loaned out my air saw so i had to use snippers to cut it up. not pretty but you get the idea. its not seen later anyways. You need to cut it up because you will be reusing the slot part to hold the turn signal light housing


Old fake cover


bracket installed back in bumper with no fake foglight cover


Thats the biggest thing i feel that needs to be addressed for the light install. Since most people would not know how to go about to secure the turn signal lamp back after you take the cover out.

Since the LED light uses a single bolt mount, all that is needed is a drill and drill bit then drill a hole thru the top side of the fog light opening. I did it from both bottom and top. Here are the pictures from mounting it on the bottom. bottom is not flat, it has ridges thus its a crooked install..:P also you cant get it far back enough.



So here is how it looks from the top install. much cleaner and nicer and straight :)


They are now mounted square and in the hole properly...as you can peep..my volvo V70R has them too :) guys on volvo forums are *****es when it comes to mods LOL...buncha haters there :/



Since you just scrolled all the way down to see these final pictures of them on at DUSK. night time pics we all seen them before :)



purposely took it with sun in background just for reference


varying angles



going to add this to my build thread...

When actually driving in fog, with you fog lights on, how much light is reflected back to you?

Would be great if you could do a nighttime shot from your driver seat with the lights on/off.
 
as requested lights from drivers seat. yet it still doesnt do it justice. its one of those things you need to see it to believe it.

HID only 7000k bulbs


Hi beam and HID


Hi beam, hid and rigid


HID and rigid


rigid only
 
Its hard to see the difference in the pictures probably because the camera is in auto feature. Can you describe if the light output is substantially more for driving? was looking at doing this as well but I wasnt sure how good those rigid lights work, especially that low to the ground.

Do you think you get more light output then your high beams only vs rigid only?

Cheers
 
Yes substantially more light. It makes high beams useless lol. I have them on my volvo v70r station Wagon and they about 6"off the ground and it's a huge improvement over stock.

When you do get it, get the one for driving. They have 3 different patterns. Beauty of these lights it draws less power than your 55w low beams!
 
Sounds awesome ! Thanks for thinking of this mod. I do a ton of night remote highway driving. These are getting ordered today !!
 
Hey before you order it. I might be able to save you a few bucks, since I am a rigid industries dealer. :) we can take it to pm for details.
 
Nice adder but wish there was a way to fill in that gap or make for a cleaner install around the lights....shoot...I'd get some.
