Anyone have Rigid SAE D Series fog lights
 
Does anyone have these in action? I plan on picking up a new set off CL with mounts. If so, any night shots and/or opinions? Thanks!

No real life stuff, I don't have them. But here are some pictures of them in use. http://www.xtremediesel.com/rigid-in...light-set.aspx

I have the SAE fogs from Rigid and they're wonderful. Low wide light and they don't glare and bother oncoming traffic. I run them 100% of the time when my heads (OEM HIDs) are on and never have any complaints.

Here are some output shots:

Halogen 9145 fogs only:

Rigid SAE fogs only:

OEM HIDs only:

Here's an output shot against a wall...SAE fogs only...showing the low flat cutoff:

Great shots. Thanks! Now if someone has the same type of pics for the Rigid Dually Spots, we're in business!

I have the sae/dot also. I like them alot, very bright, to bright for long drives in snowy weather. The amber covers/not running my vision x light cannons helped out alot on eye strain. Looking into a e2 20" combo now

How did you go from a 9145 plug to the Rigid plug?

Cody4359 02-06-2016 10:21 PM

Deutch connector adapter, we're like $20 so I didn't have to hack wires

Like napa or similar auto store?

Perfect! Ordering up. Thx

So dumb question, how the heck do you adjust them once they are installed? Looks to me it's a lot of trial and error bolting and unbolting them.

Depends on how you mount them, but yes if you use the Rigid mount it's a matter of eye balling it then unbolting them.

I went a bit more complicated and did this:

This allowed me to use the factory adjustment screw to fine tune the alignment. It's a bit more work but it turned out really nice. It also allowed me to clock the light outward about 10 degrees and still aim them nicely. I bought a set of knockoff fog buckets online...my factory fogs are intact in a box on the shelf.

That's a great idea. Too bad I bought the rigid adaptor already.

MCDavis 02-10-2016 08:06 AM

Yeah that sucks, but it'll still work. Be careful how you aim these as they're stupid bright. You're basically adding another set of finely tuned headlights to the mix. They will be brighter than your halogens, and will wash out their output.
They compliment my OEM HIDs on my '13 quite nicely.

329PD 02-10-2016 10:37 AM

Good to know. I'm hoping to aim them just below the low beam halogen cutoff.
