About 2 weeks ago I ordered a set of Rigid industries SAE compliant dually fog lights. I got them installed over the weekend and figured I would give a little review of them.

The brackets to install them in the stock bumper (I have an LOD armorlite bumper but figured these would work).

And I ordered quadratec adapters for plug and play into the factory harness. (More on this later).

Everything arrived in a timely manner and I didn't have any problems there. The rigid brackets did appear to be missing some hardwear, but I made due without and everything seemed to go together well.
I did run into a few snags, I actually ended up having to take my LOD bumper off because while I got the lights unbolted they would not fit out, they were trapped between the crash bar and the bumper, this wasn't really a huge problem but be aware of it if you have an after market bumper. (Or maybe stock I really dont know).
So after a little bit of struggle with the brackets (missing hardwear issue) I got them all plugged in mounted up, flip on my lights and turned them on and they worked great, then I turned them off and noticed they were strobbing
did some reading and found out this is semi common with led fogs. With mine they had a constant strobbing effect anytime the key was on and for about 5 min after it was off. This wasn't going to work for me so I just wired them up to an open slot on my spod and figured that's good for now. I read on another thread that qtec is working on developing an anti flicker harness for their fogs so when they release that I will probably give it a try but for the time being the spod is fine.
