Rigid Industries DOT Dually Fogs Installed

Is it very foggy in Dallas? I live in coastal Maine (consistently pea soup) and only recall using my fogs once in the past six months. Maybe your eyes are worse than mine, but that's unlikely..

Bourbonator, Really? Are you saying that because you live in a very foggy place you are some kind of authority on fog lights and that he is wasting his time and money?

OP - what is your opinion on the fitment of the fog kit? I remember there were a few people who weren't too thrilled on fitment when the fog kit was first released, but not sure if anything has changed since then.

Trying to choose between the Rigid and the BajaDesigns LED fog kits...!

Thanks!

I didn't mind the fitment knowing how it's going to look like, if you want OEM style flush then I would recommend the XB. I was going to go with Baja Design and message Total Automotive Performance and they told me I can run Baja Design but the " wide wide " will still spread more light as in a lot of glare compare to the Rigid, which has a nice cut off and minimal glare

Looks very good!
I'd like to ask please, how do you wire these to be independent? Like using an ARB switch?

I used the harness that came with it, and used an arb switch similar to them ( the slots for switch are 33mm X 23mm, bought one that said for 2010-up t4r but didn't fit. So the correct size are 33mm X 23mm). Used an add a circuit and tap it to the P Outlet 15A fuse under the dash and ran a single power from there thru the firewall and to the relay harness that came with the kit. I could used Antman's wiring to use the stock fog switch but I have plans for something else with that.
 
How long did it take you to install? And did you install from under the bumper or remove the bumper?

Took about 45min to an hour. I install both from under the bumper. The driver side is a lot easier, but thr passenger side was alittle harder since it had a back cover behind the fog, what I did was turned the wheel to the left and pulled back the fender lining to get more room to work with
 
Picture request! Can you post a picture of the wire connects for the fog lights please? I want these but since my car is a lease I don't want to hack wiring. I want to get a factory plug if possible to make the light plug and play. Thanks!

If you want to plug the Rigid D2s or DOT fog lights directly into the factory fog light wiring, you'll have to make the adapter yourself. You can no longer buy these. It's not difficult and you can buy all the materials on Amazon. [MENTION=116156]TheWraith[/MENTION] has a photo of ones he's made, and I modeled mine off of his. PM me if you need any assistance.

They really don't sell the harness any longer?

I thought that was the main selling point of buying a "plug and play" kit...

As far as I know they no longer make it. I purchased the adapter back in Dec 2015 but it was on back order due to no supplier. By end of Jan they refunded my money and put me on a wait list. By March I made my own at a fraction of the cost. I may still be on the wait list but have not been contacted.
 
Can you tell me how these mounted to the bumper? I bought this kit and tried to install them a few weeks ago, but couldn't get them mounted up correctly. I didn't find a spot where the inboard tab of the new fog light mounting bracket went into. So all that was holding the fog lights in place were the (2) screws on the outboard side of the bracket. It wasn't stable at all. I even took off the black plastic surround and still couldn't figure it out.

Any help is appreciated!

I went with the re-based Phillips 4300K

I have the TRS 4300 HID bulbs with my DOT Dually's. My TRS look yellow while the Dually's look blue (next to each other). How do the re-based Phillips match the Dually's? In the pictures you provided it looks the same, but pictures don't really capture lighting too well. Thanks in advance!

the tab actually goes into the bumper, I bent the tab a bit at an angle so it would slide into the bumper alittle easier. Let me try to find another post someone did on how where the tab goes into.

its pretty much the same as yours, the dually is actually a cool white color compare to the 4300k re-base Philips. The HID is a lot more warm white compare to the cool white of the Dually's. I'll try to take some pic tonight or tomorrow night of the lights with my DSLR and have the camera setting info posted up too
