Anybody tried the rigid DOT/SAE fog lights yet?

They aren't officially released to the public yet. I have a set ordered already. They should ship to me direct from rigid when they are released next week. I ordered them from Total Automotive Performance because they were the only people I saw selling them 2-3 weeks ago and they had a good price on them. Got them for less than what it would've costed buying them straight from Rigid. The pods + shipping was less than just the pods on rigid's site actually. But I will post up some beam pattern pictures as soon as I get mine

 

Here's what Total Automotive Performance said when I emailed them 2 weeks ago about when they should arrive at my front door

 

"Michael, Thank you for your order. This order is set up for drop ship directly from Rigid and will be released on the 2nd week of January. No one has these in stock yet. Please let us know if that is okay.

 

- Thanks, Mike"

 

EDIT:

After quickly searching a few other forums, here's the only output picture I could find

Same here, I've got a little stockpile of parts and mods at the house, but Its been cold AF and I don't have a garage lol. Supposed to be in the 30s tomorrow, may get some stuff done. I'm about to pull the trigger on these lights, did you buy the mounting brackets or whatever from total automotive too?

Honestly didn't look that deep into the box. I figure they will be just like any other rigid industries light I have ever seen as far as the plug goes. I currently have the Dually D2 driving beam lights in my fogs but wanted to have something I could use all the time and not get hassled by the cops. I already have the OE Dually pod mount from rigid for our truck.

No I already had the OE mount bracket from Rigid. I got it from gotexhaust.com I think. But that was only because they were the only people who had it in stock and a slightly better price than rigid when I got mine.

do you have any idea how many lumens the stock fog produce? just looking for a comparison and what i can expect if i purchase these. i thought about the D2's but im like you, i dont want the cops to hassle me about my lights being too bright. i didnt have any success with HIDs so im thinking the D2s or these new ones will give me what i need with more light.

It's not that the D2s are too bright. If you have a 1000 lumen light or a 10,000 lumen light, yes one will be brighter but if the 1000 lumen is improperly aimed it will be far more blinding than a 10,000 lumen light that is properly aimed.

 

Just stating this for anyone else who reads this as I know some people will have this question.

 

But the Rigid Dually DOT approved lights have a beam that does not shine all the way up like the Driving pattern or flood pattern or even the spot pattern. It has a nice line of light that is not high and that is why it is DOT approved because it will stay out of other drivers eyes, yes it is not quite as bright as a D2 pod but that is not why it is DOT approved, it's all in the beam pattern.

 

The OEM fogs are rated for 500 lumens I believe. This info is from a post that Motomedic made before he disappeared on us.

 

The DOT approved Duallys are rated for 1,7XX. Don't remember the last 2 numbers.

The proper pattern of these lights means as long as they're adjusted correctly, you shouldn't get hassled.

If that's what they look like, then I'm glad I got them [emoji2] I'll confirm later or tomorrow how good the beam is!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
