LED Fog Lights

[RyGuy85]

Anyone know if these LED fog light mounts from Rigid will work in a 1500? They're made for 2500/3500 trucks. I have the horizontal fog lights like they show in the picture. Would I be able to hook up to OEM fog light wiring harness with LED lights with some simple wire splicing?

I don't think they fit the 1500's. I would imagine a company like rigid would definitely list them if they fit. I would imagine it would take some customizing to get them to fit. Wiring wouldn't be a issue at more you may need a resistor but I have LED bulbs in my stock lights with no adapter and it doesn't throw any codes and they light up every time.

Do you have a link for your LED light bulbs? are they a lot brighter and more output than stock?

Was thinking that I'd be surprised if Ram made two types of fog light mounts between the 1500 and the HD trucks. I know the bumpers are different but figured they would commonize the fog lights at least

Ya my LED bulbs are almost as bright as the hid's that I had before in my 13's fog lights. They were a patch together kit so they burnt out after being in my 14 for a couple months.

I have the older 1st gen version in the pic (blue box). These are the new ones they sell now and are probably as bright as hid's.

I actually want to get a set of these new ones since they are now even brighter. Although mine are pretty bright now so I am not in any rush with my 6000k hid's I can see fine at night.

These will work for a 1500 but it's for the vertical style fogs. I seen a few 1500 with these.

Yes they work on the 1500. I installed them on mine last weekend.

$10 is for dust cover. I think the new ones are $79 for 9006. Mine were $49 but they are the 1st gen so they aren't as bright but I have had them a few months and it has been raining for days straight and I have had no issue going through some water and little mud with them. Plus a lot easier to zip tie everything when there isn't a ballast.

Do you have any pics of the fitment? Any modification needed or was it a simple bolt on?

that is definitely useful thanks for this. Only difference for me is I have the horizontal mounted fogs, which I don't think will except that bracket

 

[RyGuy85]

I take that back, Looks like they make another bracket that would work for my 2012 truck.

It's a simple bolt on. I'll have to take some pics this weekend.

Did some more research, planning to go with the KC Hilites 4x6" Gravity LED lights. Put light out at a much farther distance than the pods do. Have to do some measuring but looks like they should** fit. Already have a KC 20" light bar on my truck so I figure I should stay with them. Just something weird about having multiple brands of lights, can't do it.
