Pod Lights - Is $650 worth it?

[BroncOBX]

One of the accessories now being offered is a pair of "pod lights" for $650. Can't tell what brand they are (other rock lights are stated as Rigid lights).

Seems awful pricey. I'm getting the BD with the aux switches so getting them installed and wired by someone who knows what they're doing is an incentive for me.

Thoughts? Where is the terminal for the aux switches? In the engine compartment or somewhere else?

Those are Rigid 360 Pod lights, think they are $350 from Rigid. Is $300 to install these 2 lights worth it? Not to me.
Wiring for the switches is under the hood and should be simple to hook in these lights.

The rigid 360s range from 350-579. The version they have on are $450 from rigid and the wiring harness is $99, so I think the price is reasonable. I talked to a Rigid rep at the MOB event and he said their will be bumper mounted and other configurations available when ordering the Bronco at the dealer in December.

I don't see how any lights can be worth half that. And 1600 for a light bar? Ridiculous

I was planning on adding those lights but maybe need to rethink... I did read that d.i.o.'s would be covered by warranty so that may be worth something.

Not saying Im questioning your info but where did you get the model info from? I haven't seen anything from Ford that identifies the model other than the 2-door badlands concept. Are they the same ones they used for the concept vehicle? Thanks for the info though. I do appreciate it.

Plus all of the interest that you'll be paying over the life of the loan and those are $500 per light. I can't see many people financing accessories through Ford. Well, actually I can which is crazy.

It's listed as an accessory and not an option though. Does that mean anything. It's marked as an S8 and not an S4, I think.

I could pop on TheRetrofitSource and get pod lights in whatever style I want for half the price. As a bonus, I'd actually be using the auxiliary switches for their intended purpose: aftermarket addons.

Just got this screen shot from the New York Stock Exchange visit. Ford guy says that Rigid is the partner for these lights so that part of my question is answered (confirmed)

I don’t think they’re worth it...for well less than $100 you can easily put high quality pod LEDs on from Amazon. Just as bright, just as long lasting in my experience, look just as good. You have switches already wired in, which is the hardest pet of wiring. I thought that prices was bad, and the $1800 light bar price is obscene.

Rigid lights are high quality and a decent value for the ~$350 price point that you can get them aftermarket. $650 is ridiculous, but that counts install as well. So if you have no mechanical ability and really want the lights then maybe that tips the scales.

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy the cheapies from amazon/eBay. I did once and never will again due to almost burning up my truck. They use poor quality wiring and cheap seals. There’s a reason why they are so much cheaper than the name brands.

How about these or similar, I believe this brands been around awhile and prob has a decent manu warrenty, install less than an hour I imagine based on past experience and that was me installing a switch which won’t be ness with auxs

 

[Jb7]

I think this one seems a little heavier duty may just be smaller

I am interested in a BL and they do not have any driving lights. I would like to bumper mount some and noticed that they have several different beam patterns in the 360 series. What would be the best beam pattern to use for a driving light, diffused?
