Rigid Industries LED driving lights raise the auxiliary lighting bar on performance and design.
SR-30 LED driving light bar delivers exceptional light output with relatively low amp draw.
Position and mark location of mounting tab hole. Drill a pilot hole for the self-tapping screws that will be used to mount the supplied Rigid mounting tabs to the Fab Fours Black Steel Elite HD bumper.
We used 1/4-14x1" zinc-plated hex head self-tappers to bolt the Rigid mounts to the top of the Fab Fours bumper plate.
The longer of the 2 pairs of supplied brackets holds the SR-30 just under the bottom of the Fab Fours Elite's lower brush guard tube.
Rigid's wiring diagrams are super easy to follow and their SR-30 wiring harness is high-quality, plug-and-run design.
Rigid's power plug to the light provides weatherproof connection. Light switch is lighted and plugs into connectors in the harness.
The only "wiring" we had to do was to attach the ground lug to a body bolt and connect the hot lead (red wire) to one of the two wires we had running from the Buyer's switch box in the cab. We used the blue wire for the SR-30 and the white one for the D2 LED driving lights.
Buyer's Products' 6-switch control box makes adding auxiliary lights like Rigid's LED SR-30 and D2s an easy install.
Rigid SR-30 is almost invisible on the Fab Fours bumper -- until it's switched on. Then the light is blinding if you are looking at it head-on.
Rigid LED lights bring daylight to the darkest nights; great safety upgrade for hard working trucks
Adding auxiliary lights to supplement the OE headlights is one of the best upgrades anyone who uses their pickups for work and/or for outdoor recreation can make.
More light, whiter light, projected farther than the stock headlights adds a greater margin of driving safety.
They also provide a nice respite for weary eyes on a long drive after a hard day at work.
One of the best in that regard is the growing assortment of LED lights and light bars that are quickly replacing the HID and quartz-halogen lights of old.
LEDs are where it’s at when it comes to value for the dollar.
Rigid Industries’ SR-30 and D2 driving lights are among the best of styles and brands available.
Rigid SR-30 LED light bar is compact, yet provides exceptional driving light output.
D2s are great for “fog” lights, as they penetrate low and long. They also work phenomenal as back-up lights.
The SR-30 is the go-to light up front. It’s a compact 1.5-inches tall and measure 30-inches long. The light bar delivers 9,600 Lumens thru 30 1-inch LEDs that draw just 7.2 amps.
In work truck speak: the SR-30 rocks lighting up the landscape.
We installed an SR-30 on the top plate of the Fab Fours Black Steel Elite winch bumper on a 2013 Ram 2500HD to see what difference this long row of LED lights make compared to stock headlights.
Mounting an LED light bar in this location helps protect it from brush while putting it just below the level of the headlights for optimum projection.
This truck already had a Buyers Products six-bank rocker switch box installed in the cab, so we alleviated using the supplied rocker switch – and eliminated running more wires through the firewall.
Buyers’ Products six-swtich pre-wired control box is ideal for work trucks running multiple lights.Installation was a simple “plug-and-play” as the images in the gallery below show.
