    Well, I'm sorry you feel that way. I have many very happy customers who come to me for all their lighting needs. Both companies make great products, I just feel RI products are better. This decision was made long before I started dealing with RI as a distributor. Like I said in my original post, I was not comparing anything to VX's new lights as I have not seen or dealt with them yet. I was comparing original products from both companies.

    Also, when I tried contacting VX a year or so ago it took me 7 tries before I could get ahold of anyone, that's not very good CS. The guy at RI gave me his personal cell number just in case I ever have any questions or problems that need to be dealt with right away. He also gave me free demo lights to show off as soon as my distributor paper work was done, something VX would not do.

    You don't ever have to buy from me if that's the way you feel. I'm sure I will still be ok.

    I have the Rigid Industries Dually's mounted on my Supermoto for night riding and I absolutely love them they throw so much more light then anything else I have ever seen in such a small package, with only 10w draw! Much brighter than the vision x solstices my buddy has.

    I deff want to get a set for the tacoma but probably in amber

    Lights mounted on the bike
    Both shots are taken at 1/400th F10

    Good lord these are bright even in the middle of the day!

    the night output shots...

    These were all taken at 35mm 1/1.3s F/5.6

    Back ally way not lit
    [​IMG]

    35w 6000k HID from ddm tuning in stock headlight housing 3x brighter than the stock headlight bulb
    [​IMG]

    LEDs only, pointed down as far as the brackets will allow.
    [​IMG]

    35w HID and LEDs both on
    [​IMG]

    Note that my white suv is about 105ft away from the bike and the house in the background is 337ft away from the front tire of the bike(yes I measured) and it lights up the corner, imagine if I pointed them up more!

    These things are really really bright, I tried to portray just how bright these are but the camera still doesn't do them justice! and all from only 20w!

    Great pics. Those lights are awesome. Glad to hear you are happy with your lights. Wait till you see their new dually lights, your gonna be pissed that you don't have them instead. Lol They are insane, and more than twice as bright as the original dually.

    I'm thinking that must be what happened. Oh well...I am very happy I went with RI instead. They have some great products and excellent customer service!

    Absolutely! PM me your address and I will send you one. It may take a few days though, I am waiting on more from RI right now.

    Haha...the dually lights should be out very soon. The single row light bars should be available shortly after. As soon as the dually are available I will let everyone know. I have a feeling they will be selling out faster than they can make them.

    I wonder what the duallies would look like on my N-Fab light bar. Think they would look stupid with them being so small compared to my current KC Slimlites? I was originally considering mounting their 30" bar in my lower grill between my N-fab light bar mount, but now I'm considering doing the duallies and a 50" bar on the roof rack. Anybody god with photoshop that could give me a rough idea? Let's hear your input.

    I think the Duallys would look sweet on the bar! They are only half the size of the KCs at 3x3 but should be just as bright and would look super modern. But I would wait for the new ones that are supposedly coming out soon that are much brighter.

    Yea, that was my plan. I just wish I could see how they looked before I ordered. I would think that even the older ones would be much brighter than my current KC's.

    Are you able to give us a discount on the online prices as a dealer?

    I would imagine so. I have seen other dealers on other forums selling them for much cheaper than msrp. I got my 2 duallys from a dealer on another forum for $180 shipped!

    Are the new duallies 2x2 or 3x3?
