HOW TO: Rigid SR-L Series Lights for ARB Rear Bumper Installation

[wolfpackwest]

Since that's going to be a popular option Paul. I think we may just make up a single harness plug in basically that is the Toyota Pig tail in the back, and the Y splitter all in ONE piece.

Can you tell me how long that Toyota Pig tail is? And if you had to add wire to it (if it was long enough or not?) and it looks like they have 2 wires coming out of it. (I assume for power and ground if needed) So which wire/side is coming out of the Toyota Pig tail for the power?
Then I can just have those simple one piece sets pre made. Eliminates the crimping to the Toyota Pig tail.

Always thinking ahead, sir - love it!

the Toyota pigtail is about 12 inches long. I didn’t have to add any extra length between the splitter/single pole and the pigtail; there was enough length there. And the black wire on the pigtail is power. The ground (white/black, thick wire) wasn’t used since I had the ground wire coming off the short harness.

Hope this helps!

It is fantastic that John is making this far easier. True plug and play is the cat's meow... pun intended from Rescue Cat.

My logo was created from a pin given to me by our Vet when our orange tabby, a Rescue Cat named Sam, passed away. One day I was looking for a name for my Jeep and to create a logo... and Sam came to mind. There you have it.

Can you tell me the numbers on the BACK of the connector for the TOYOTA Pig Tail?

And then a little ‘E31’ in the top corner

I don't know if this will help but I just grabbed the two pigtail bags that came with the Trailhunter.

1 Piece Package = PT948-35402. Card inside says Auxiliary Pigtails-Front
2 Piece Package = PT948-35450. Card inside says Auxiliary Pigtails. Contains a Jumper Pigtail (15A, 10A, 5A) and a Rear Pigtail (15A).

This is above my paygrade... would need some help to figure out which to use and for what.

Getting ready to do the Rigid backup lights install and have connectors from SPV so will need to lay all these out! Not sure if I need one of the Toyota pigtails at this point. I will review the install so kindly provided in the Forum here as my guide...

Do you want me to scan and attach the cards that came with the two packages?

Just installed my back-up light system from John. After John and I talked on the phone for a bit he explained some issues that I had with my kit.. come to find out it was I that was having an elderly moment, but he straightened everything out for me. For anyone having any issues with the kit just contact him and he’ll do what he can to help. Everything only took about an hour to install and works great

If you get this made up I would love to purchase one. I love plug and play.

Very cool, John! Specialty Performance Parts knocks it out of the park... AGAIN.

Thanks to Paul for starting this and John at SPV for providing the new parts! The only difference between what Paul installed and what John recently created is seen in the pic below circled in red, the new harness replaces the old jumper and OEM pigtail, super convenient and truly plug and play. The only difficult part of the install was the T-20 torx screws on the passenger side, not much room to work, almost ate the screws about 8 times re-installing, otherwise followed Pauls instructions without difficulty.

That was the only issue that I also had with the screws..I had to put some battery terminal grease on my torx bit to help keep the screws on. Worked like a charm

Awesome write up! Helped me a lot. The crew on the passenger side was a pain in the ass but I loosed up the right screw on the light and got it in there. I also got a little confused at the front being that I didn’t have anything hooked up there already. All it is, is putting the oem plug between points(why it didn’t come pre installed idk). It took me a few beers but I got it done. When I got stuck I emailed John at SVP and he emailed me back at about midnight and sent his number but I already figured it out. That’s customer service! Highly recommend them and the product

Many months ago- (August) I bought the Rigid SR-L lights directly from Rigid about a week after I got my trailhunter, I'm kind of an early adopter. Well, They finally arrived last week (December.) As I was pretty sure they didn't include any way to sense the reverse light, I had been considering the SPV harness. Talking to SPV, they requested that I post the cable terminations to my new set of lights from the factory- so here they are. And definitely does not have a way to sense the reverse light- Looks like it would be rear accessory switched only.

The light head- and the wired connection.

The terminations of the wires from the light heads.

Overview of the harness with Toyota style Accessory plug, ground wire, and two exposed wire connectors.

the Garbage butt-join connectors included in the kit, instead of quality waterproof connectors. fine for a few years, but will eventually pick up road salt and corrode apart.

One of two wire terminations on the harness.

Toyota style connector for the Accessory plug at the rear of the vehicle.
