Sorry I've been missing all the responses. For some reason I'm not being notified...I'll have to figure that out. I'm still a noob on the forum.

Rigid sells brackets that fit the OEM bumper. I found them on Amazon cheaper than most places, so I picked those up. They should also fit a lot of aftermarket bumpers, too, since a lot of aftermarket bumpers are designed for the OEM lights.

I haven't taken any night pictures yet, sorry. Been busy. I will definitely get some this weekend.

It is an intercooler for a Ripp supercharger.

Default Rigid Harness Part 4016 fixes flicker and can be used with Dually Led and D2 lights

Hello, new here, After reading the fix that was posted on here I decided to purchase the Dually D2 harness 40196 to use with my Dually Rigid Lights with OEM switch on console, and they work with no flickering after shutting off JEEP. Do the connection like Preston stated and it will work. The relay disconnects the power coming from the CANBUS after shutting off Rigid lights (fog lights) and that's why you will not get flickering. I tried harness part number 40195 without relay in harness and I got the flickering because there was a pulse still coming from CANBUS and a connection to the Dually lights. Like stated before part # 40196 also works with the Dually lights. It will work Flawless.You will just have to figure out how to run your harness in the engine bay to keep it clean,,,,,have fun!!!

I just got a set of 6 cube in the flood. Comes with plug n play for fog lights so you can use factor switch. I mounted mine to my smitty bumper. Took me 5min to install. Easiest thing I've ever done.

I got these lights (KC HiLites 6" Apollo Pro Series 100 Watt Long Range Lamp System with Stone Guards in Black) with a Smittybilt bumper I just mounted. Is there any reason why I couldn't hook these lights up the same way & be able to use the stock fog light switch to turn them on?

I love this writeup but my question is will this work with the rigid duallys. There the 4 led cubes. I looked at my wiring and i only have a fuse. That kit does not provide a relay. Will it still work the same or do i need to wire in a relay or possibly use the wiring kit from the D2
