Any of you running any kind of lights like this? My interest is to utilize my existing factory fog light switch and them being LED, low load to not have to add relays.
They would mount on my light bar here:
Initially I was looking for driving lights, as opposed to spot and flood, as I'd like to use them on the street.
Example Rigid Driving Light: http://www.amazon.com/Rigid-Industries- ... ROCK3EVUO7
I've looked at the Rigid Industries lights (D and D2), Lifetime LED, and some various others.

Any of you running similar or a larger single light bar? Other better idea? Cost? Thanks for your experience and school me on this. 😀

Offline I don't know if these lights will work for your wiring needs, but I here awesome things about these and I plan on getting a set.
Um...what?

Offline I run two sets of the Dually lights. One fog and one driving. The LED's are lifetime and shock proof/water proof.
However they are not street legal. LED's are the future because of the small draw and great durability. I got my sets for about 138 a pair.

Offline Carl, not to derail your thread but that has GOT to be the most BADA$$ bumper/winch setup I've seen.
I'd loose 1" in the front I'm sure if that were bolted up to my XJ.

I've looked at the RuffStuff ones, but they are HID and the bulbs are blue (ricer). I don't want to add a relay kit (it has built in balast I think). Cost for replacing bulb.
Brad, next meeting hopefully you bring the heep and I could see your light output.
Thanks Tom. What's helps is that the bumper isn't as heavy as it looks. W/o the winch...I have to use a jack. Take out the winch and it's manageable. Still a few things to add to it though. 😀

I've never had much need for a ton of light so my $0.02 isn't even worth that much, but I stumbled across this on the Expedition Portal board and thought it might be of interest: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/t ... ood-lights

Offline My rock lights aren't super powerful but when it's dark they do the job.

Well, that was worth a couple 
Bender! Thanks!
I'm kind of liking this amber one: http://blitzpro.com/12v-led-lights/ambe ... light.html
and this rail: http://blitzpro.com/hawk-6d-le.....-rail.html
I also like how they have roll bar mounts!!
@Brad -- I was still talking about the Rigid Lights you have, not rock lights. I've got LED rock lights.

Offline I figured you were but Keane mentioned not much need for auxiliary lighting so I was mentioning that the LED rock lights worked great but didn't need to be very bright to work great.

Brad,
What Rigid ones were you talking about today again? You said the Mark (4wp) had on sale at the Expo?

Offline I was reading that the draw for the rigid dually's is less then a turn signal. That has me leaning towards picking a set up for the buggy.
I was originally going to get the ruff stuff hids because when I saw them in person, I was really impressed with the color and brightness.
Um...what?

Offline I found a supplier who assembles a "kit" made up of all LEDs to replace every bulb in my XJ save headlights. Looks interesting. Are there "approved" headlights being manufactured or developed?

When you say "approved" I'm thinking you mean DOT-approved/certified?
The answer would be yes as there are replacement LED headlights for heeps. 😀
I think you might enjoy this articulating article. It's not the end-all, be-all.

Offline Trucklight is currently the main provider of DOT approved LED's. They are not cheap however. But vibration, submersion and burn out are no longer issues with them.
Truck-Lite Part POI27250C These fit the round headlight jeeps.
They now also make replacement bulbs for most headlights that are also LED, but much cheaper. I just don't know how effective they are, or if they are DOT approved.
I run LED driving, fog and rock lights currently.
