Define properly?

Their bracket bolts to the fog bucket from what I can tell. Sits horizontally and the light is then perched atop. For $50ish it doesn't seem worth it.
I actually prefer the way mine came out as opposed to their solution as I can at least aim mine via the adjustment screw like a factory fog.

I agree... does not seem worth it to me. If you don't have fogs, sure it's worth it. But if you have fogs, just upgrade the bulbs. That's my thought process.

BUT. I do like the look of the Rigid and let me tell you, the coolest thing I ever saw was a Raptor that had the Rigid in there but they used the AMBER Rigid lights. DAMNNNNNNN did that look awesome.

So I'd only recommend the Rigid IF you plant to run AMBER... because it looks so damn cool

The amber ones do look awesome. I have a set of those on the bottom of my windshield. I'm going with The SAE Rigid fog lights for the fog light openings. The goal is to be able to leave them on all the time without blinding people. The amber ones get turned on when it rains and it really makes a difference, but I'm trying to keep the lights that are always on white.

Installed mine this weekend and they're friggin' awesome. The brackets were very simple to install as well. Like I stated in my other thread, if you have these brackets you will be able to install even the cheapo cube LEDs out there. I wouldn't recommend buying the cheap ones if you plan to use your fogs at night since the cheap ones throw light differently and won't give you the cutoff that the rigids will give you.
