    I'm having trouble splicing my rigids into my factory fogs. Should be straight forward as I've been reading but won't work for some reason. Any help would be great!!

    What kind of trouble? It should be two wires, if its not correct, flip the two. I made some harness with an set of connectors from Ebay, but I think TAP sells harnesses for direct plug in now, pretty cheap. Have you tried leaving one of the stock foglight plugged in, while plugging one Rigid in, to see if any will turn on? That could indicate if a fuse is blown if nothing will turn on.

    Make sure your battery is charged. My battery was down to around 10v when I installed mine. I thought something was severely wrong. Turned out it was having the radio on was enough to drain my aging battery. Charged it up and soldered on the factory plugs, after checking for polarity, and BAM! everything worked. It wasn't the anytime fog mod or the switch or anything else that I checked before realizing it was the battery.

    Good Luck

    Tried both ways on connecting, before soldering I wanted to make sure that it would work. I'll look into the TAP harness now, but am going to try to recharge the battery to see if its thats. I'll let ya guys know. Thanks!!!
