Turning on Rigid lights

So many questions can be answered by RTFM

I believe there’s some DOT regulation that limits the number of forward driving lamps so the covers are for the “off road use only” set. They both don’t do much but light up right in front of the truck so either some adjustment or a/m replacements would help.

some states that require annual state inspections like Virginia will require covers on off-road lights to pass inspection. If you show up without a cover and the light does not go off with the high beams then you will fail inspection.

I BET the outer fog lights go off when you turn on the high beams. The inner lights are independent of the high beams and can be turned on and off at will.

The above is why Ford only provided covers for the inner lights

Probably a simple solution, but how do i turn on the Rigid fog lights. Tried the aux switch and didn't see it turn on. Am i missing something? Also how is the illumination?

I installed Rigid ( truck was already wired for Baja) had to rewire … contact John at Speciality Performance Parts 307-93-GO-SPV … he will walk you thru it and figure out what you need… he sells Plug n Play wiring that made it really simple … I also installed the rigid backup lights ( don’t hav a pic of when it’s in reverse … it provides great illumination)

Ok, is no one going to acknowledge that this dude didn’t realize the covers were still on?

The real question is…has he replaced the covers after melting them from turning and leaving the AUX switch ON???

nah, most LEDs don't get hot enough to melt anything..

An example is the new 2022 Tundra. The driver can only turn on the LED factory light bar in the grill if the high beams are on.

In case you misread his post, he’s asking about the Rigids that come standard on the Gen 3...not something bought & installed.

Tried out the Aux 1 lights driving home last night. They work independently of the Hi/low beams.

All 4 are the same SAE lights. The covers on the AUX 1 lights are designed to allow someone to tun them on with the covers and not do any damage. The other set, the set that turn on with the fog button on the headlight control, turn off when you turn on the high beams so you never exceed the 4 forward light limit. Completely idiot proof, but no real useful light output.
