Please put me in the pool of folks who want to purchase your brackets. They look great and would make mounting Rigid lights so much better. Anxious to see what you think about the R+ and if they could be used as daily drivers.
Thanks

The fog retro appears to be my only option for improved lighting down low because of the issue of not wanting to block the open space to the radiator for the turbos on the Econoboost.

Nice work.

Few more pics of output VS. the halogens (on the passenger side) and the finished product. Output is with ONLY the fogs powered.

Wow! pretty significant improvement, certainly in light throw.
Based on what you have do you think you could run these as fogs full time or would it be too blinding to traffic?
You did a great job on this retro and these look tons better to me then the Dually's do as far as looking like they belong there.

I'm ready to buy a pair of prototypes now that you're done with yours.

Oh man, the throw on these things is insane. if you look at the pictures close, you can see that the rigid's light up damn near 100ft in front of the truck. I walked out front of the truck and they aren't that bad for glare, and could be used as daily drivers. A little glare is always imminent with any led light unless its in some sort of projector. Even the Toyota Prius led fogs have glare, which I saw today driving.

It sounds like the best option for me and wanting to leave my fogs on. I see you have fabricated a vertical adjustment, is there also a left-right with your bracket?
And the 64 million dollar question, are you happy with the current prototype and ready to make a few? I'm ready to buy and start spreading the word.

I'm pretty satisfied with the results but have heard of a new generation of r-series coming out with a different mounting configuration. So when the new generation rolls out I might sell these prototypes to someone if they prove to be reliable. No horizontal side to side adjuster as they aren't needed. Ill take the truck down a real dark gravel road and shoot some better pics of the throw these babies give.

It'll be a month or two before rigid rolls out with the new ones but from what I hear they are integrating a relay harness with Deutsch connectors for a true plug and play install.
