So I have a 2012 F150 with factory driving lamps, I dont want to drill holes in my dash in order to mount a swith for the rigid D2 lights that I mounted on either side of my license plate. Has any one used the factory driving light switch as a trigger for the D2. In other words tap off the factory driving light wire to the relay as a trigger.

 

Sure. Cake. Just ensure to fuse the battery supply to the normally-closed relay contact appropriately as per the draw of those lights.

No drilling required in this case.

The Rigid D2 came with a harness with a switch, Plan is to find the switch power from the factory driving lights and wire that to the Rigid relay thus getting rid of the physical switch, Power from the battery is already fused, What are your thoughts

 

Did it come with a relay? Then proceed as stated. If not, acquire a standard 30/40A ISO automotive relay, then proceed as stated.

Easier to tap into one of the positive leads to one of the existing Fogs as the 'trigger', rather than going to the panel switch. Install relay on the firewall near a ground junction. Everything done under the hood - no runs through the firewall. No extra switches to mount.

EDIT - what is the current draw for each unit? If it's very low, you *May* be able to just connect them directly to the existing fog power. Personally - not advocating this - I'd still use a relay, but other have done exactly that.

Yes the kit came with a relay, Thanks for the assistance. Figured it would be just that easy
