Default Rigid Light Bar and Dually D2's Installed

Installed my Rigid E-Series 10'' Light bar and Dually D2's in the Fog Light hole. I wired the Dually's to the Stock Wire Wire Harness so the Stock switch in the Cab controls them. They will also turn on/off with the High beams. I wired the Rigid LED Bar to the Power lead on my DDM Tuning HID Lights. This means they will turn on/off automatically but will also be controlled by a switch in the cab. So I can turn them off. The Fog's using the stock wiring harness are also obviously auto on/off which I think is the cleanest way to do this.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Note: I bought the Dually D2 Wide's. I Went with these over the Spots because I wanted more of a flood of light. I have noticed i get flashed a lot. I may see if rigid will swap for the spots but well see. I also have the E-Seies 10'' Combo which is awesome.

i love the look. too put D2's in the fog holes. I just wired them to the stock wires so I now pop on the fogs to get them on. I am looking to add another light. Prob a 10 or 20. I am thinking that I will put it behind the grill and just cut out a spot in the grill and wire into the cab with a switch.

For where I mounted the 10'' light bar, I have not noticed any problems. I have an SCT Live wire tuner so I can monitor temps boost ect.. and I have not noticed any change in performance gas milage or responsiveness. I think if you were to mount in the same place with a 10'' you would be fine. I think a 20'' would be too big though. Thats where I think you would start to see some issues.

As I said previously, my Dually D2's are wired to my stock fog light controls then i wired the LED Light bar to the cab to a switch that I put on the left side of the steering wheel next to the light dimmer.

Here is the Custom Switch I mounted in the cab:

How easy was it to install the fogs? Did you have to make a bracket? I'm looking to add these to my 2010. Thanks for any info.

It was very easy. Not hard at all. I used this write-up as a guideline for my install. He does a very thorough job of explaining it:

In response to getting flashed; these are off-road lights. Even though we use them for street, they are brighter than high-beams and are not legal for road use. I always turn mine off with oncoming traffic and only use them on back roads to avoid getting a ticket.
