just got the stuff in today! Looks like I’ve got some work to do
Ordered new mopar block off plates off eBay. These are real mopar, made in the USA with clips and hardware. Going to either mod these or mod the ones on the truck... not sure. Got them in and they look great, thick sturdy plastic.
Also finally got the new rigid SR-Q pro lights in that were on backorder for a smidge. These are the newest updated versions which have the upgraded chips for 102% more light than the previous model. Basically they went from like 1500lumens to 3200 lumens per light (4 LEDs @32w). I tested them out and man they are stupid bright (spot pattern). Also verified the wattage and amps and they are about 2.7amps per light and 5.7 amps or something for the pair. These are rated at 2.29 amps each and I was using a lithium ion motorcycle battery to test so I’m sure the amperage would drop once at a normal 14.4v charge.
A note with the Rigid stuff, it’s very nice. Heavy, quality, brightness etc all what you would expect. I was told the harness lacks and that’s true. Nice thick wire but lacks a relay, uses the D2 connectors which I like and a simple single poll light up switch. I’m going to have to figure out the wiring with this and probably add a relay that I can trigger via the high beams. Not sure if I’m going to run a switch into the cab yet honestly. Other than that I’m happy, the harness isn’t junk but it would have been nice with a relay to trigger but these things only pull 5 amps with a fuse so i see why they did it.
Attached are pics comparing to a similar style spot eBay cheap 8w dual LED pod. This little guy is actually pretty bright and impressed for the $10 price tag. Optics look like copies of the rigid. Of course the comparison isn’t the best but it was either that or a 20” led bar or 42” led bar. Photos don’t do it justice but the order is.
1.) unboxed all u get
2.)rigid 1 light output, trees are easily 100ft away
3.)ebay 2 led spot same area
4.) ambient light shot (about 11pm here and moon was bright)
5.) comparing the rigid and ebay optics.
I will update the thread as I move along.
