Showing off my new Rigids

[Whitey Tighty 16Z71]

Just installed my Rigid Radiance pods. Used T Rex hood mounts. Took about 2 hours to install and most of that time was running the wires from the engine compartment to the cab.

 

The Radiance pods are the newest products from Rigid. I'm shocked I haven't seen more on the road especially since they are almost half the price of other Rigid lights.

 

Thoughts?

Looks awesome! I have been interested in mounting lights like this on my truck, so thank you for the pictures. One concern of mine is the ease of these walking away (someone stealing them). Is there anything preventing someone from unbolting them and walking away? Maybe I'm paranoid.

 

Anyways, thanks for sharing!

I would mount them somewhere else. Between the possible added wind noise, being in the field of vision, light reflecting off the hood, how they look and ease of theft I would find a better place to mound them personally. Dig the lights them selves though, how is the light output and what was the price?

How do you think those would work in some fashion or another as a back up light? Looks like you could mount them nearly anywhere.

I had lights on my Ford before this one and none were tampered with. My philosophy is that if someone wants something bad enough, they're gonna take it, regardless of what it is. I mean look at squatters!

1. ZERO wind noise. I was on the freeway this morning doing 70-80 and no additional noise

2. They are too small to block anything. The driver side sits in front of my registration sticker anyways

3. There is a little reflection off the hood but I haven't taken time to properly aim them. They're spot lights anyway so the light is more direct

4. Like I said above, if someone wants something bad enough, they're going to steal it. They'll need a set of tools to get these off.

5. Light output is great. Very bright, direct light

6. $115 off Amazon

I'm going look into flush mounting the red version of these in my bumper. Rigid already makes a flush mount light but I don't think they've branched into the Radiance version yet

I'm going to try to find a dark area to properly aim them tonight if I get a chance. I'll post pictures too

I had a set of tuff led lights on my Tacoma they were larger but they definitely helped, did you make the brackets?

No T Rex Grills made the brackets. They were more expensive than the lights! 15 minute install tho and fit perfectly

Hood doesn't hit them?

They actually bolt to the hood and move with the hood. To install, you unbolt the 2 bolts holding the hood to the hood hinge and slide it between. Hardest part is keeping the hood from moving to keep it aligned but I was able to do the job myself and the body lines are perfect.

Rigids only

 

Headlights and fog lights

All lights

 

Yes the Rigids reflect off the hood but they still are strong enough to throw light. I stood in front on them and it's like staring at the sun.

 

What really turned me onto these lights was the colored back lighting the Radiance line offers. It's really just a cool factor. Like I previously said, I'm amazed I haven't seen more on the road.
