Default Rigid Lights

Finally installed my Rigid LED driving and spot lights. I kept waiting on Rigid to come out with mounting brackets like they have for 2017 and previous F-150's, but apparently they aren't going to. IDK. So I fabricated my own mounting brackets. I removed my bumper in order to fabricate the brackets. After removing the bumper I can see why Rigid isn't making brackets for the 2018 and newer F-150's. I don't know how difficult it is to install the Rigid brackets for on the 2017 and previous F-150's, but I don't see any way that brackets could be installed on the 2018 and newer trucks without taking the bumper off. There's just no space to get in there to do the work. Removing the bumper was really easy. Getting it back on by myself was a real @#%&$!! I was surprised that there aren't alignment pins for the assembly line to get the bumper on straight and level. My bumper is now on perfectly straight and in align with the fenders.
The Rigid lights are so bright and light up the road unbelievably well!!!

On my 2016 I had to take bumper off to get the brackets they make fit. I might have been able to get them up there without but was way easier taking the bumper off.

edit: I didn't line the bumper in the pic and have since. the 15-17 trucks have the stupid frowning look to them otherwise.

i dont but I will be removing the bumper again this weekend to adjust the angle so the bumper is level. I made a small adjustment but not happy with it so I am going to do it again. its super easy to take the bumper off.

Hmmm... Well at least now I have a bail out plan if I get stuck. Thanks!
