Dually 2 LED Lights for 2011 FX4 Ecoboost

I installed 4 Dually 2 LED lights (mfg. by Rigid Industries) in the front of my 2011 FX4. The two inside lights are white, the two outside lights are amber.

The lights are 2,600 lumens each and are as bright as the sun. They were fairly straightforward to install, and pull very little power from the truck.

Listed are photos of a steel tube I used to mount the lights, a $5.00 section of micro-foam I used to mount the switches under the dash, and the lights with and without their covers.

I bought the lights from TruckProUSA.com. These guys provided excellent support and service. I called and spoke with Michael Cohn at Truck Pro, he provided a current promo code that added an additional discount to the price of the lights - it was around 15% less than Rigid Industries' list price.

I also received great installation support from the customer service folks at Rigid Industries. They actually sent me a custom wiring harness that worked much better in a full-sized truck.

Ah, you forgot the most important pictures of all: output

Did you get a flood/fog light beam, or more of a spot beam?

You raise two great points!
- Both sets of lights are spots.
- The pictures I've taken with my iPhone look like hell. I will eventually post output pictures. The next time I'm out my hunting lease, my plan is to take quality pictures of the white lights illuminating a ridge from 600 yards across an open field. The throw is strong.

I really haven't used the amber lights, we haven't had any rain or fog. I will try to use them on a dirt road to get a feel for how they help with heavy dust.

The lights have not had any impact on mileage or performance. I also had the set-up checked out by the service department at my local dealer, they did not see a problem.
