    Rigids are very easy to install. Their connectors are simple to use.

    Do the instructions walk you through the process.

    Thanks.

    Not sure about the instructions. If there were any I didn't read them. They are just like any other electrical device for a 12V system. Theres a positive connection and a ground. The switch is simple to wire but I used my own switches.

    The thing about the Rigids that I like are the connections going from the light to the power source. Most lights out there have cheap connectors. Rigids have nice waterproof connectors.

    But just like anything else out there, if you don't know how to do something, there is a really good chance that there is a youtube video on how to do it.

    They didn't aim the light, I would say that's pretty important as well. :goingcrazy:

    The instructions explain it well, but as MrGrimm pointed out, it's really simple.

    I also used my own switch, I was kinda disappointed that I got a cheesy switch with such an expensive light.
