    Replaced my headlights over winter break with Rigid Industries 55003 5" x 7" Headlights.

    Nice and bright with a cool new look.

    These are on my list of things to buy. Are they the ones with the heaters to keep them from freezing in snow and ice

    Cool. Didn't know RI was making these. I have another brand book marked from years ago.

    Edit: Nevermind. Same lights just now Rigid i think owns the company truck lites?

    Yep, it was below zero for a couple days with snow and freezing rain and they never froze.

    Truck-Lite bought Rigid not to long ago and they were the first ones to make replacement LED headlights to my knowledge. The lights work amazing and with a good aiming, no one on the road flashes me.

    Suprised you haven't upgraded franks sealed beams yet. These seem more rugged than retros. Wonder what they would look like on him

    Ive had these bookmarked to too for about 3 years. Just never done it. Never really wanted better head lights, i just use my Aux lights all the time as i live in Wyo and its easy to use them here.

    But i would like too. I like them. Look good and im sure they will last.

    Aux lighting is easy to use here aswell due to lack of traffic but after going with retros it really is nice having bright low beams.

    :mad::(

    Money light came on, the ransom note only said P0420 so I guess I'll pull out the oscilloscope and see if the O2 sensor is working and go from there...

    Mine recently came on with the same code. Wasn't happy to say that code, as it's usually a PITA. But after a week or two, it went off. When I checked the code, it was pending. IIRC, the DTC system won't make it a solid code unless it picks it up twice. So maybe it picked it up once, lit the light, and went off since it didn't pick it up again? IDK. Just hoping it stays off :fingerscrossed:

    Maybe you'll be just as lucky :p

    Yup yup, I fix this code for others a lot. Not a huge issue, on a system as simple as our trucks it's one of two things... Sensor or cat and both are easy to test.

    I have that and a Evap pressure sensor switch code but luckily I don't have emissions so I'm not too worried about them
