Fog Kits - Baja Designs vs Rigid Ind.

So looking into purchasing one of these two. Im not a lighting guru so looking for some expertise from the TW faithful....which one is better, light wise and esthetically.

Pictures will also be cool!!

Thanks!

 

Both great, I love me some baja designs though...

 

how bout the huge gap they have? are the lights that much better?

 

What gap are you referring to? I don't have them on in the stock plastic bumper so can't speak to their fitment there. If it's fitment you're looking for, maybe a flush mounted option from someone else is better for you.

 

I had the Rigid Duallies on my 2nd gen, now have the BD Squadron Sports on my 3rd gen. Overall, the BD were easier to install, look better IMO, and have better output.

 

@Baja Designs has a new bezel design in the works that should address that gap.

 

I put the amber KC lights in mine. They fit just like stock and I'm happy with them so far.

 

do you have any pics?

 

Here's from the TW rep:

Baja designs gets my vote of the two.

 

If you are referring to the Rigid ones that come on the Pro, don't waste your money. They may look nice but the output is worthless. I'm sure it's due to DOT compliance, and as actual fog lights Im sure they work well.ie driving in the fog. But as extra lights they are useless. I'd be very surprised if mine are any brighter than the normal fogs.

 

I personally think the Rigid TRD Pro lights look the best. And it took about 10 minutes to replace the originals. Just plug and play. But it sure hurt when I saw the bill on my credit card statement. Oh well, I still like them. dead bugs and all.

 

We install Baja Designs lights on the trucks we build at work. After playing with them, I'm sold on the light quality and quantity. The BD staff is knowledgeable and awesome to work with.
I'm getting ready pull the trigger for lighting my truck.
At this point I'll buy only Baja Designs, they've earned my business.

 

There are some companies with expensive products, and there are some company with expensive products that are worth it in every way.

 

Baja Designs without a doubt

 

BD FTW. Rigids are overpriced for the light output you get. Although they are DOT... so you got that going for ya

 

DOT?
