Just bought a ‘12, can’t ID LED lights

[doodman4321]

Hi all, just bought a ‘12 SuperCrew w/ 83k miles. I've had full-sized trucks before ('07 Avalanche 5.3L, if you consider that a truck,'13 Sierra Denali 6.2L), but I traded in my '17 Canyon All Terrain 3.6L for this truck. More of a “right place, right time” purchase than anything, but I don’t know that I’ll ever to back to a “normal truck”. This thing’s pretty much bone stock other than a K&N drop-in air filter, a Linex bed liner, and some LED lights. The previous owner put an LED bar behind the grill and some fog/ditch lights in as well, but I can’t identify the brand(s). I don’t see any discernible markings. Any chance somebody can tell what brand they are? Looking forward to learning more about these beasts.

Also, the drivers side only has one fog/ditch light while the passenger side has two. No loose wires or broken mounts that would indicate there was originally two lights on the drivers side. Is this a normal thing, maybe to avoid blinding oncoming traffic while using them?

Welcome to the place, congrats on a beautiful Raptor, she looks clean other than the missing fog light. Everybody puts 2 per side on the front, one probably got busted and somebody took it off. If they are good lights they might be Rigid or BD lights, but who knows, could be cheap knock offs from the internet. I'm guessing you want to replace the missing one? Best bet is to take out the one from the other side and you will probably find some kind of markings on it.

Yeah, ideally I’d replace the missing one.

strong feeling these are cheap lights. the name brands dont make a 3 row led like that.

They usually come in a set of 2, btw. There are a lot of venders on here who sell lights, you can PM them and they will help you out.

Yeah, that’s what I was afraid of after a quick amazon search. Saw a bunch of similar ones with various branding.

Nice Gen 1. Good luck with the truck. All of my cube lights have Rigid stamped on the bezel. Just crawl under, pull one off. Something will be stamped on it somewhere. Great truck color also.

Thanks! I prefer the understated color w/o the decals or tailgate appliqué (for now haha). I don’t know that I intend to do a bunch of work on it right away. I just want to get used to driving a full-sized truck again (a VERY capable one, at that). I still love seeing all of the posts about what others have done and learning about things to watch for/avoid.

some of the cheap ones on amazon work pretty well. i got a few of them. however nothing will beat a baja designs light. they are the brightest currently
