They are the driving beams. Amazing light output. I'll get a night shot soon and post.

Found out that rigid is only making a mounting bracket to adapt to our fogs, not new round lights. Check out the R series used for aviation, they have a direct size replacement for our fogs. But you'll have to fab your own brackets.

FX-Four,

Love what you did here...I want to do the same exact thing. However, I am an idiot. Would you be willing to document exactly how you attached the 9006 harness female adaptor to the Rigid wiring? I want to be able to just plug and play too. A video would be most helpful but simple instructions would be great too.

Thank you!

You just need to find male 9006 ends and cut and splice them to the rigids. You can find parts at auto store or online. I did the opposite, I cut off the female 9006 and cut off the rigid female connectors from the harness that came with lights. I them soldered and heat wrapped connection and they just plugged in and work great off the stock wiring.

Easy to do for an hours worth of time.

That looks great. But fog lights are awesome, why not stick these behind your lower grill or somewhere to supplement the factory fog lights?
