Wiring rigid duallys to factory fog switch? (1 Viewer)

[Layonnn]

I just got a pair of Labrak's ARB fog replacements and ordered a pair of the rigid dually flush mount lights to put in there. My fog light switch currently turns on the ARB fogs and have done the mod to allow them to stay on with high beams.

Can I use the factory wiring harness to power the rigids? If not, how should I go about rigging them to work with the factory fog light switch. I'm guessing it has something to do with running the switch to the rigids relay.

I used the stock wiring for Rigid DOT Fogs. Made a Deutsch to H10 adapter, but you can buy them if you care to keep stock connector

Or swap the Rigid connector to H10....

I'm glad you asked. I was thinking the same thing, will be lurking and watching...... I'm won't get around to doing it till next snow season however.

Thanks SHREDwagon.

That plug would plug into the stock fog light wiring plug? I already cut that off to wire up the ARB fog lights, haha. I guess my main question was: is the stock wiring sufficient to power the rigids?

Should be fine. IIRC the rigids draw about 1.2-1.3 amps and are 20 watts? Although I'm not 100%, I believe the stock halogen fogs are 55 watts..so you'll be fine...

Thanks for the wrench Roux.

Got the inserts and lights installed. I'll head over to my buddies in the next few days to borrow his soldering iron.

For those thinking about ordering these I will detail my experience with Labrak:
Emailed Shane asking about when they would have these in stock again, he emailed me back very quickly to tell me they had them ready to ship, so I purchased them on 3/3. After about 10 days of no product or shipping information I emailed Shane asking for shipping info. No response. I then emailed him 2 or 3 more times, no response. I emailed PayPal asking if they could get ahold of him and see if they could do anything on 3/30. That night at 11:22pm I received an email from PayPal stating that I had opened a claim on the order (didn't realize I had done that). I finally received a response from Shane 20 minutes after the PayPal claim was opened. Shane apologized and informed me he had been ill and that he could get the inserts shipped out first thing in the morning. My inserts then arrived in two days.

Roux is just putting up with that cause you feed him, or cause he thinks you might let him drive one day.
