Oh Rigid.....

@jpar247 Before purchasing new lights, suggest going the warranty route. Rigid offers a limited lifetime on their lights and water instrusion is definitely covered.

If you flipped the bezels, make sure to flip them back before you send them in for warranty or Rigid will deny the warranty claim.

Rigid makes a good product, but leaks happen from time to time. Don't spend any more money on other options until you at least exhaust the warranty process.

i don't run many rigids anymore. for the exact same reason. i have a ton of rigid cubes sitting in my garage. either water got in, or or the powdercoat came off. only lights i've had this happen to.
still run a 40" adapt, and 4x Q Sae driving lights. Hope those hold up.

I have read the same thing about Rigid products several times.

Yep and there warranty sucks now. I have a pair of q series the reflective chrome inside is peeling I asked them about repairing and they said they won’t do it unless I have proof of purchase which I do not anymore.

This is why my cheap ass just buys the Traveler cube lights from Tractor Supply. I'm way too abusive on shit to be dropping almost $1k on pods lights to be replacing them every year.

Well, you can buy the good stuff once or the cheap shit every year. There is more to lighting than longevity and warranty as well. They must actually perform their job.

I run my BDs through car washes even. Zero issues.

^^ THIS ^^

I have BD lights on my 2018 that have lasted 3+ years without a single issue. I have no fog, no water, no discoloration, the paint looks great and they perform fantastically like they did when I installed them. It would have cost me more in time, hassle and money if I had to replace cheap crap lights every year.

I like them so much, I just installed a complete set on my 2021 Tremor!

Just a note, I bet Rigid only honors the warranty if they were purchased through an authorized vendor, which wouldn't include Amazon or eBay. If you bought them off Amazon or eBay, they probably aren't actually Rigid lights.

I have less then 10,000kms on this setup and look at these. I have barely any on the outside Ambers and they've already sprung a leak. Am I missing something. Are they not supposed to be mounted this low. Never been pressure washed, only hose pressure and wash mitt. The Baja Designs are clear as can be. Really disappointed with Rigid. I've seen Chinese lights hold out moisture longer.




Sorry about the terrible pictures. Anyone switch out to BDs with the Rigid bracket?

Like others have said, definitely contact Rigid and warranty before buying new lights.

Every company is going to require proof of purchase.

Rarely do we see seal issues like this with Baja and Rigid. However, it does happen. Sorry you're having issues.
