Rigid Industries Light Bar Installation

[dorskh]

That’s not horrible. Mine sits back that far now and throws a TON of light through the grill. Makes it hard for someone to steal a 1300 dollar light bar that way!

I would never run that much amps through a switch, that's what a relay is for and it being a Rigid it should have come with one. I know mine did.

I purchased a 20" rigid industries RDS series midnight edition light bar for my truck a few days ago, I've always had led lights on my vehicles but this is the first time I've spent the big bucks on the Rigid. Install was pretty simple, I custom CNC plasma cut the mount out of 10 gauge stainless steel so no drilling or cutting into the bumper (other then the plastic grille obviously) was needed, BTW I saved the design if anyone buys a 20" Rigid light bar. Wiring was also straight forward because it comes with a pretty good wiring harness, I don't like having a switch so I wired the relay to the high beams, so whenever the high beams are turned on the light bar also comes on. That just simplifies things and you don't have an ugly switch somewhere in the interior. View attachment 6173View attachment 6174View attachment 6175View attachment 6176View attachment 6177

where did you pick up the high beam wire?

It was the high beam wire in the plug that goes into the driver side headlight. I don't remember the color of the wire but just grab a test light, unplug the headlight harness and have someone flick the high beams on and off while you test the prongs in the plug.

Haven’t really thought about that. The mount I have designed is specific to 20” rigid industries light bars, is that what you’d be putting on?

I would buy the mount for my shop- can you message me if you are interested in making a couple and shipping them to AK?

I don't have a jig made to manufacture them so you'd have to weld the three pieces together yourself, and I also don't have and detailed instructions, just what was written on this thread.

Ive been considering adding a set of flood and a set of fog pattern Rosie dually d2s to the same area as your bar but haven’t found how I’d want to mount them as easily as yours. Any insight??

Mine wasn't easy to mount. Took about 5 hours to remove everything, make the mount, and install and wire the light.
