Has anyone installed The Diesel Cartel Rigid Fog lights?? Need Help.

mattmal9 · Feb 20, 2014

I ordered the kit from them and all i received was the lights and brackets that look like they would normally be with them. I didn't get any directions on how to install them and i was also believing that they would be able to be control using the factory switch for the fog lights but that doesn't look like the case??

Any info on the install or any general help with this is appreciated.

I don't know about the mounting of them, but for wiring, your LED lights should just have a positive and negative connection. You can put these into a H10/9145 male connector and it will plug right in to the factory fog light plug. You can pick up something like this if you don't have it lying around. Splice in the wires and done with the wiring.

Hey Matt. Your brackets and instructions came separate from the lights via USPS. Have you recieved your mail yet today. I will check tracking info later today. Email me if you have any questions please.

Glad you posted that link. That's exactly what I need to make this kit work. I got my kit from Josh but my rigids have that old style connector before they switched to the deutsch connector. And that will still keep it plug and play.

its easy, it took me about an hour. just be really sure you have the light centered in the bucket before you reinstall. the wire for the light seems to get squished between the bracket getting the height perfect and makes it hard to get it centered in the bucket. mine seem to be a tiny bit off, but i think i'm the only one that notices.
