Great video, just bad advice on using the yellow wire. aux 1 is 30 amp which should be saved for something much higher draw I went to aux 3 for these and aux 4 for rock lights.
Yeah, ditto, I thought the same thing, why use the huge amp wire for something like those lights? I have used my switches 5 & 6 for lights. I do like their videos, I've seen a few others.
It would be very helpful to show the nighttime illumination with just the headlights and with the pod lights. I’m wondering how much more illumination there is with the pod lights.
Great video. One nice advantage to going with the Rigid lights is the brackets are "adjustable" side-to-side. This enables you to slide it out of the way (at least partially) from the antenna on the passenger side. Less expensive lights have brackets with a single mount hole (no side-to-side adjustment).
Thanks for the video! I personally would have use a quick disconnect for the wiring connection. It would save you from cutting the factory wire again it doesn’t look very long to begin with.
Eh, you shot it at where the crimp is so you would only lose 1/8" of wire each time. I get the thought, but a weatherpak connection there is a bit overkill. There is also more wire than it looks like, or at least there is on my SD anyway.
May be a dumb question, but I’m not a wiring guy. Using a weatherpak, would you be able to crimp both of the wires into the one, using the single weatherpack connector? Hopefully I’m not complicating this question.
Question, do you still have to ground the negative to the frame? I assumed ford made this wiring like a Switch Pro or sPod to were you just connected the wires directly to a port, but it looks like you did a ground to the frame. Not a huge deal, just clarifying.
I ordered the rigid d-ss pro spots which come with a wiring harness. Should I use it to connect to the lights and then connect directly to the aux 3 switch wire or just use my own wires and snip off the ends to the lights.
Are these Pods listed with the Ford Accessories still? I can't find them. Also, did you use Switch 1 for the Pods? I was thinking of using Switch 2(15amp) for Rigid Light Bar and Switch 3(10amp) for the Rigid Pods. Thoughts? Also, are you going to do the Rigid light bar next? :-)
I think they should still be listed with Ford Accessories. We can get them ordered for you if you would like, just let us know. In regards to switch we picked. We did the 1st switch due to connivance currently. Once the light-bar comes in we will most likely change which switches each lighting group goes to.
@@PrtTymPimp1980 Each AUX switch has a different gauge wire intended for a specific amperage. Switch 1, yellow wire has a 1.5mm wire gauge and corresponds to the 25A fuse. AUX2 is 1.5mm with 15A fuse, AUX3 is 0.75mm and 10A fuse, AUX4 to AUX6 are 0.35mm and 5A fuses. I wouldn't recommend what you're suggesting.
@@2011blueman Hey, thanks for that note on wire gauge. I was unaware of that and its important we understand (still waiting o my Bronco so haven't looked hard enough). But that begs the question on what we can use with those smaller wire gauges on Aux 4 to 6. I would think small lights like these should be for the smaller diameter wire but are these last 3 switch gauges to small for dual offroad lights. if so, what else is there that they could be useful for. Maybe pod under body lights I suppose. Guess I need to figure out what gauge and fuse the components recommend and start there.
@@MiddletonMotorsports I just ordered two sets of these pod lights but they have a back light. Do I need to wire the back lights to a separate switch? My Lightbar will also have a back light.
It would be great if you had a parts list and the model number of the Light pods with the Black brackets. I have only seen chrome brackets on those rigid lights. Also what awg was your wire from the other side of the pod. 14? 16? 18? and Thank you, GREAT VIDEO~! Thumbs Up.
ive been using 14g on our Bronco... light bar and 7" Hella pod lights on the side.. The one thing that is left out of this video is that Ford put the wiring diagram in the "infotainment" screen....it is the general settings...
The ford accessory kit part number is M-15200K-BML. It comes with the brackets, Rigid 360 series 4'' light pods, wiring, bolts, and "ford performance" light covers. One important thing to note is that the ford version of the Rigid 360 lights disables the backlight feature that is normally on the rigid 360 lights. Normally the 360 lights have a backlight available in various colors.
@@2011blueman thanks for that update. If only we could get that better bracket he used here with the standard Rigid Pod Lights (with backlight feature). I bought the latter with the chrome cheaper bracket and it doesn't give me enough play to get the light away from the antenna. I need to find another bracket, or modify the current ones, to move it back and to right an half inch or so. Those Rigid Brackets also need to be painted. Looks terrible against the black base and mirror area.
@@panzer948 Since the bracket is sold in the kit, I'd bet at some point you could get it from either ford or rigid. I'd contact Rigid customer service and see if they can sell the brackets separately.

The kid from the Sixth Sense grew up and works at Middleton Motorsports?!! Kidding, thank you for the helpful install vid!
from all the videos iv watched this is by far the best one THANK YOU
Looks great, and thanks for the walk through on the aux switches, very helpful.
9:00 - I know this sounds crazy, but the silver washer drives me crazy… I wish it was blacked out👊🏽💯🤙🏽
That washer came with the kit. We agree. Eagle eye!
It would be very helpful to show the nighttime illumination with just the headlights and with the pod lights. I’m wondering how much more illumination there is with the pod lights.
I’m installing right after it’s shipped from dirt mountain!

This enables you to slide it out of the way (at least partially) from the antenna on the passenger side. Less expensive lights have brackets with a single mount hole (no side-to-side adjustment).
I saw a picture were someone mounted the pod lights on the roof mounds instead of the mirrors they looked pretty cool in my opinion

That is a good idea. Maybe we will implement that when we add a light-bar and move the pod lights to switch 2 and light-bar to switch 1.

They look fantastic! Thx for video!
Awesome video! Now I just need my Ford Bronco 🤘🤠
Good video. I referred to it for the same install. I chose switch #6 (10 amp fuse). Why did you choose the 30 amp fuse?
Great Video!
I can't wait to see more. Well done.
Thank you!
Clearest install video yet - Thanks
First switch is overkill for the ditch lights. 3-6 would be better 1)30a 2)15a, 3-6)10a
Thank you for posting this!
Did you notice the dent in the front bumper?
Great video. On the the wiring, it’s the solid yellow wire. Correct?
Hmm. Trying to figure out why my passenger side light is much dimmer than driver side.
Just used my FordPass points to buy a set of these last night! should be pretty straight forward with the video tutorial!
Do these have the amber backlight option?
what do we do with the "background white wire"???? I'd like to have them come on when my headlights come on.
Question, do you still have to ground the negative to the frame? I assumed ford made this wiring like a Switch Pro or sPod to were you just connected the wires directly to a port, but it looks like you did a ground to the frame. Not a huge deal, just clarifying.
Yes, you still have to wire the ground to the frame. Luckily there are lots of factory locations to do so. Thanks for reaching out!
Can I ask which specific version of the Rigid pod lights those are?
These are The Rigid 360 Series 4 Inch Round Lights
Do they have the amber backlight option?
I ordered the rigid d-ss pro spots which come with a wiring harness. Should I use it to connect to the lights and then connect directly to the aux 3 switch wire or just use my own wires and snip off the ends to the lights.
Great video, ? If my big bend bronco did not come with Aux switches .. can I still add these lights, if so is there an area to install a switch .
Can’t seem to find the brackets, can you please direct me?
Hi. Did the antenna get in the way of the light?
It should be ok.
Great video but I couldn't help but notice what looks like a dent in the middle of the front bumper already.
Yeah that was from transport damage. Got fixed by the transport company.
Do you ever use security screws?

you can always change the preset fuses in the box to acomidate what you need... you can make switch 2-6 a 20 amp
