Default rigid l.e.d Dually back up lights installed w/pic

Hey guys just installed these finally. Rigid Dually led lights. 1300 lumens a PIECE!! Just a heads up their is a lot of splicing involved. You will need extra wire to reach the back of the truck. The stock harness would prob work for a jeep. Not a 30ft long truck!! LOL. I wired these direct from the battery. They are not hooked up to the reverse ligts or any stock wiring. Totally independent. Just the way I personally wanted it. It can be wired other ways as well.they come with harness, rocker switch w/led ligt, inline fuse and batt. connections.i through a pic of the switch in there for reference. i wanted a spot that wasnt on the dash, but easily replaceable. that little piece next to the counsole pops right off for easy working also.... (side note, give me a break on the dirty interior, were just getting done with a hellish winter!!! lol)

They are pimp. Can't wait for the darkness to come!!

Wow! nice upgrade, They definately look nice and bright. I have been wanting to add some revers lights also, but i want something flush mounted in my bumper to look like it came that way from the factory, not something bolted on and sticking out of the bottom.
something like these maybe. http://vehiclelight.com/2615500.html

Well I think I'm pretty picky and these don't bother me to much.
I wanted to mount them as close to the reciever as I could to keep it "grouped" together so the exhaust tips were out On there "own"......

Haha are they ever bright. Good job, those will definitely be next on my list once i get tired of my recon projector reverse.

How is the build of the light, I know rigid is fairly expensive but sounds like it's really good quality. Is the light plastic and tough?

no plastic..... check out their website. these things are military grade, professional lights. used by govt agencies, nasa etc.

hell, they shoot them with an ar-15 and they still work!! 100% water proof...

i want to say ordered right from them, cost me $200 shipped for both lights, harness, switch etc.

..... but like i said, we need about 10ft. of extra ground and hot wire because our trucks are so long... im really happy with the build quality etc. im thinking about getting 2 of these same lights for behind the grill , but in a pencil beam pattern , just for more lighting to compliment my HID system..... lol
