Installed a couple Rigid Industry Dually's for some added back up light since the stock B/U lights suck. These are white flood patterns. The popular place to mount these is on the rear spring hangers, after some test fitting I have to agree. So that's where mine went.

I wired them up to my number 4 up fitter switch. If anyones looked into the Rigid led lights, they know that the lights require very few amps to operate. The up fitter switch circuits are fused for more amps from the factory then whats desired for the Rigid's. Trying to find a 5 amp (or low amp) micro fuse is almost impossible. I have seen some Raptor owner's using inline fuses, which works fine. With an inline fuse, the circuit will be protected by the up fitter fuse up to the inline fuse, AFTER the inline, the rest of the circuit (including the lights) will be protect with the lower amp in line fuse.

But, there's an easier way. You can install a regular ol' mini fuse in the micro's place. It will stick up a little bit, but other wise, be held securely and operate normally.

I know it's kinda worthless without night shot's.... I will work on getting some.

For now,

Nice mod!:waytogo:
Could you snap a close up pic showing how the dually light brackets are mounted to the rear spring hangers and post it up please?
Now I know what to use my last upfitter switch for.:)
