First of all, I am glad Ford only put 4 AUX switches in the Raptor. This LED Rigid addiction is a problem.

So I have installed D2's and have the 20" on order.

Leaves me with the #1 switch available. Thinking rear lighting would be nice, but don't think I would use it much, running wiring wouldn't be a huge deal, or........will I think I need the 40" as well. (I HOPE NOT)

Pics of your rear lighting?

Do I keep one switch available?

Thanks!

The only rear lighting that I am considering is an ADD rear bumper with Rigid Dually's mounted in it used as reverse lights that is the route I will eventually go with and the only need for rear lighting in this situation a switch will not be needed as i would wire them to my reverse lights

You can tap the trailer harness wire (center pin) for power to reverse led's.

They will only come on in reverse.

Should have mentioned I am looking at the reverse LED's, but have the need for what's behind me in some situations, not many, but still.

Thanks for the input fellas.

I have a pair of Rigid SRM Flush mount Diffused on order. I am going to be installing them in the plastic part of the bumper for reverse lights.
I was worried about getting Duallys or d2's in case they were to bright and washed out the camera as some have reported.

Yes,

I can guarantee the D2's would be way to bright. I love them up front but the regular Dually Diffused flush mount I will be mounting a set in the near future in my back bumper I am doing my RPG Stage 2 next then will come the bumper lghts:peace:
