    Great vid. What made you go with these vs aftermarket? How is the light output?

    Nice job! But you skipped the first 3 hours of trying to access the fogs from beneath the truck. It's much easier from above - through the engine compartment.

    I cheated because I cut my inner fender liner for tire clearance previously so access from behind was easy.

    :amen: People make tutorials trying to access them from the bottom and it hurts my brain..and hands. What did you pay for those OP? You're not on the mainland so I would assume quite a bit more than us upper 48.

    I just installed mine a few days ago. It was pretty much straight forward. Very simple install. Lights are pretty bright at night for being so small ;-)

    Rigids vs. stock test. The stocks had a wider range of light. The Rigids were more intense but in a tighter range.

    I would have thought the rigid would be brighter and make a bigger difference. Great video....Thanks

    Yeah I was a little disappointed with the light output. I'll try and adjust them and see if that helps.

    Can you put another Rigid light in the top slot, or is that one sealed off?

    It's sealed off and there's a small hole to adjust the fog light in that top slot.

    Ah, would be nice if they made it functional, judging from your video, the Rigid's don't put out too much more (if any) than the stocks :\

    I planned on this but two SR-M don't stack well on top of each other. The top lamp would sit higher then the opening.

    I really like the look of these, but not really wanted to drop $500 for no improvement in light output. Can the bulbs be changed? Keep us posted about the adjustment. Want to see if it is better than stock.

    Seems to me that the rigid doesn't have any width at all...... I'll stick with my 1200 Lumen Morimoro XB LED fogs for $130..... Don't seem like the Rigid's are worth no $530.......
