    I don't see any reason why you couldn't. They have about 1/2 the draw of the stock fog lights so the stock wiring should be more than sufficient.

    Definitely do-able. Check out Airdog's build. He just wired Dually's to his stock foglight harness.

    I'm about to do the same next week with my new Pelfreybilt bumper.

    You can do that. I've done it before with no issues at all. The rigids draw less power than your OEM fogs :)

    Yup I'm looking to do it with my Pelfreybilt bumper as well. Anyone have a wiring diagram they can share with the group? Would be great for someone who has done it or is about to do a write up. I can't do mine for another few weeks but if no one has by then I'll write it up.

    You don't need a wiring diagram... just cut the factory harness and splice in the pigtail from the Rigid Industries lights.

    It's doable. I have the Dually D2's wired to the stock fog light switch. I have the All Pro front bumper though, so mounting it was perfect.

    All right. I guess that will make more sense once I buy the Rigids.

    No schematic or diagram needed. The fogs have positive and negative leads, just cut them and splice the Rigid positive and negative leads to those two and you'll be golden.

    Rigid lights come with quick-disconnect harnesses, but you wont be needing them if you want to use your factory fog light switch to operate the Rigids.

    There's always using the stock harness/switch to power a relay and have the lights powered by your own harness and relay.

    stupid simple

    Not to say it's needed but just giving another option.

    That's overly complicated and completely unnecessary. You then have a switch triggering a relay that's pulling power from the battery through a fuse and then triggering another relay which is also pulling power through the battery from another fuse and then powering your accessory... All that does is build in another failure point. The stock wiring is more than adequate to power the Duallys, just wire straight to it.

    It literally plugs in, there is no splicing needed

    How does it literally plug in if you use the stock wiring? Again I don't have the lights yet so maybe this is obvious once I get them.

    Unplug the factory plugs and the rigid plugs fit the stock ones
