    They're the same place! :smack:
    Looks nice! Are they RI Duallys? If you're looking for a factory-looking switch, check out OTRATTW.com. Awesome switches, slide into the factory position with very little fitment and look nice and clean.

    I sold mine off, I bought the cheaper version from Avec lighting. I put Lamin-X film on the lens to tint them yellow and will get them mounted in the same spot Shane has his once I finally get a free weekend. I also have 2 - 30" LED bars in my basement. One needs to get mounted behind the grille and I need to sell the other one off. :eek:

    According the manufacturer:
    • Made of High Grade Die Cast Aluminum.
    • Premium PMMA Lens Material
    • Wide Operating Voltage Range 10-30v DC
    • Waterproof, Dust-proof, Rust-Proof, Shock-Proof & Corrosion Free which Support Works in Extreme Weather Condition
    • Easy to Install.
    • It could be used under demanding environment including construction, material handling, agricultural, forestry, and other application where a reliable light output would be needed.

    I'm sure it'll be fine for anything I'll go through with my truck, but for a serious off roader, not sure. The west coast guys seem to like them and there were quite a few members who were impressed with them at the SEMA show (not that it necessarily means anything). I opened my small spots up and they seemed to be sealed really well. They had a thick rubber crush gasket to protect the internals and the backing is all one piece. Time will tell (if I ever get them mounted that is...).

    One thing I will say though, when comparing them to the Rigid Industries kit, the wiring harness on the Avec lights is MUCH better. The RI kit was a joke, no wire loom or anything to protect the wires and I hated the big red dot toggle switch. I had RI D2S in driving pattern and amber colored. For the money, I really wasn't impressed. They drowned out my headlights but didn't throw light out any further and they spread the light out quite a bit for a driving pattern. I sold them off and bought the Avec ones for less than half the cost. We'll see how they compare.

    No problem, once I get them hooked up, I can let you know how they look. They'll be mounted in the same spot as my RI lights were so it will be an even comparison.

    And I've seen a lot of the new Ovlov XC90's with LED fogs. Guess that answers my question
