For years, most aftermarket grilles and bumpers centered around one brand: Rigid Industries. Rigid builds solid products. They manufacture in the USA. They maintain strong quality standards.
However, brightness tells another story.
Rigid’s top light bars produce around 20,000 lumens. Meanwhile, Vision X raised the bar with the 52″ XIL-PX9010. That unit delivers an incredible 44,370 lumens.
That output difference changes the conversation.
Why Light Output Matters
Many truck owners focus on brand recognition. However, real-world visibility depends on usable light.
Vision X consistently pushes higher output numbers. More importantly, their optics focus that output effectively. As a result, drivers get stronger forward projection instead of wasted scatter.
If brightness ranks high on your priority list, you need hardware that supports serious light bars.
Until recently, grille manufacturers ignored that demand.
Royalty Core Steps In
Royalty Core finally filled the gap.
They designed a new line of RCX LED Light Bar grilles specifically for Vision X light bars. Instead of adapting a grille for a different brand, they engineered these models around high-output Vision X systems.
That shift matters.
Now enthusiasts can install powerful lighting without switching brands or compromising output.
2011+ Ford Super Duty RCX Grille
Royalty Core built an RCX grille for the 2011+ Ford Super Duty. This version houses a 24-inch Vision X XIL-LPX1810 light bar.
That bar produces roughly 9,000 lumens.
Vision X equips it with closed-loop mounting brackets for durability. Additionally, adjustable brackets allow precise aiming.
The result? Clean integration and serious performance.
2013 Ram 2500/3500 RCX Grille
Royalty Core also offers an RCX grille for the 2013 Ram 2500 and 3500.
This setup holds two Vision X XIL-PX1810 light bars. Each bar produces 8,900 lumens. Together, they deliver nearly 18,000 lumens directly from the grille.
That amount of light dramatically improves forward visibility. At the same time, it eliminates the need for bulky bumpers or external mounting brackets.
Clean Integration Without Compromise
Truck owners often avoid light bars because they dislike oversized bumpers or bull bars. Fortunately, these RCX grilles solve that issue.
You gain high-output LED lighting. You maintain a clean front-end appearance. Most importantly, you avoid sacrificing performance for style.
Royalty Core finally created a grille for enthusiasts who care about real output—not just brand loyalty.
If brightness drives your build decisions, this is the upgrade you’ve been waiting for.
