Anyone able to get Rigid Industries covers over their fogs on the Pro?

Second cover came in yesterday so did some grinding to the mounting tabs this morning and got them on. I like the look and will test out how they look/work when it gets dark.

 

Nice, do you have any pics of the covers before you put them on? Just curious about what it looked like after the grinding

 

Sorry didn't take any pics until they were mounted.

Most of the grinding was on the outside edge of the mounting tabs and I just kinda kept grinding then test fitting. Thread #6 has a photo from someone else that is what I did but due to these being the aftermarket Rigids on a homemade mount in Pro bezels I had to grind a bit more to get them in there.

 

Yes. They fit. Tightly.

 

Much to my surprise, I got both of mine today. They went on fairly easily without any grinding or sanding. I love the light it puts out. Thank you for bringing these to my attention.

 

i had to give $58600 but they gave me $49500 for my army green pro with 25000miles so i was really cool with the deal..

 

IMPHO...If you want to run amber, sell what you have and buy the selective yellow.

The new selective yellow is much more effective (visually) AND the Rigid covers have been independently tested to reduce output by 50%.

Just something to mole over.

 

I thought about that and if I decide that amber/yellow is going to be permanent I might just get the selective yellow ones. I do like that these also protect the lens and not sure how bright the TRD Pro Rigids are but the SAE's are stupid bright so cutting them down a bit isn't a bad thing for street use. Haven't had a chance to try them in fog but we're supposed to get snow Friday so maybe i'll get a chance to mess around with them in some actual inclement weather.

 

in the lengthy first post, Rigid output cut:
"While the amber covers do a great job completely eliminating the short wave length blue light spectrum spike, they also significantly reduce the effective output. I believe Rigid claims a 15% loss, I measured a 50% loss in a controlled indoor environment with a NIST certified digital spectrometer.

Rigid lux at 18': 395.5
Rigid lux at 18' w/ amber covers: 195.2, ~50% loss in output"


post 257 gives a great run down on the selective yellows

Say I wanted to go this route, is there a plug and play solution?

 

Not sure what your OE wiring is but there is an adapter for previous years to wire in a Rigid to the OE harness retaining the OE stalk/fog functionaility.

Something like this is what I went with.

I would assume your wiring on the Pro was adapted similar to the non-Rigid fogs - but I do not know offhand if that is the case.

 

My ridge

Lol I did same thing!
When one came i got pissed off then realized I did not read ad

 

Cool thanks, I've been researching this and almost just bought some lamin-x film. I wasn't sure if these would fit or not, so thanks for the info.

 

Zero issue here. No trimming, snapped on within a second.

 

i still can’t get mine on

 

Pop one side on but don't sink it in all the way, just make sure it's barely past the black trim. Put other side on and push like hell on that side. Took me about 5 seconds per light.

 

gonna go try it now. Thanks

 

I must have very weak fingers or something because I could not get it lmao

 

Finally got it. I used a serrated knife to cut the flairs a bit and now it fits perfectly.

 

I put these on last night.

tight fit but with some finesse and a flat tip I got them to snap in.

 

nice! I probably could have gotten them on without grinding the flares down a bit if I used a flat head but I wasn’t thinking right lol

 

Put mine on in a couple minutes....but don’t know if I like the snap on look?.?.?
May try the Lamin X route before completely replacing.

 

Why do yours look slanted?

 

Thanks for the concern....but only fit one way....just the pic angle I assume

 

Finally got a pic

 

Driver side was easy fit. Had to grind a little off the tabs on the passenger.

 

I have a set of these if anyone wants them. Paypal me $20 and they will ship to your door step.

 

Wonder if these will fit over top of caliraised pods as well?
