Rigid Switchback on Trailhunter - adjusting aim, and SwitchPros

[bobholthaus]

Hello: I actually have 2 questions:

1. How do I raise these lights, meaning adjust them higher?

2. I'm going to install a SwitchPros switching system. Does anyone know if I can unhook these from the OEM wire harness, and buy the OEM pigtail to wire them to my SwitchPros so that I can switch them using that system?

Thanks in advance.

I have a TRD pro and recently switched out my OEM rigid fogs for rigid amber pros. The OEM connecter uses a canbus or something proprietary…definitely not simple for a layperson like myself. So I dont know if you can simply wire it up. I ended up using one of the OEM aux connectors to make my new fogs functional.

Is there any adjustment screwed to aim them higher that you are aware of?

I got the adapter kit from Rigid and when thats installed, the lights are pretty flush to the bumper cutout. I wqs able to push it up and down ever so slightly when i out the bumper back on, but it wasnt a significant amount. Really only gave me a mm or two of adjustment.

So I jammed some rubber spacers between the bottom of the light and the top of the opening that had sticky stuff on them and were about 1/4" thick and it helped. I need them to be slightly thicker even. Not sure I'm going to get more, but every millimeter helps when aiming lights!

They're were round circles of rubber that came with a piece of stereo hardware (that's my business). I cut them in half and wedged them in. I'll take a pic today.
