You didn’t wire it to key power? Gonna kill your battery
Woul this kit work with a 30” baja designs s8 light bar?
They are designed for our light bars, But if the light bar is 31.5 inches from end cap to end cap it should work. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
Does your switch light up when the light is not on but you have your headlights on? You know just dimmer and gets brighter when you turn it on.,..just wondering...
Mine is only on when the button is pressed and the light bar is on.
Mine was on always. So I had to switch the wiring around. (Different then in this video)
Is there a way to leave the air deflectors installed?
switch out the brkts to the diode dynamics brackets. & you will be able to put the wind deflectors back in.
Does this kit re use the splash shields / radiator duct plastic pieces that would otherwise secure into the holes that the new brackets mount into? If so, how do you modify them to work?
Just did the install. Video was very helpful, except for a couple things. 1) They don't show putting the light bar in.... that was a little tough. I had to uninstall one of the brackets to get it to fit. 2) This kid has skinny arms. My larger arms made it a little harder to contort myself into a position to tighten the bolts on the light bar. 3) My parts packet didn't look like the video. In fact, no lock nuts at all, but it did have lock washers. Had to come up with a couple washers to complete the install. 4) Video doesn't show where to mount the relay. I used a self tapping screw to attach it to the sidewall. 5) lastly, the video didn't show how to make access to the area to mount the switch, but I found another video on how to pull the panel on the left of the steering wheel. Other than that, it was a good tutorial and the light bar is Badass.
I wish you would show how you were able to get the light bar in position
I had to remove my hood latch support completely in order to get the bar in place.
Boosted98gsx I only put in one bracket drivers side then light bar then pass. Side bracket made it effortless
Yeah if you go by the video and put both brackets and you cannot get the light bar in. I just put the one bracket on the driver side then slid the bar in the place and then put the other bracket in. And it's not easy to get the screws in to the end of the light bar then get them tight and adjust the light. It is very awkward to get your arm in there and get it tight.
This kit is perfect. Easy install, great product. Excellent how-to video.
BTW it’s a power steering cooler, not a trans cooler 😉
Is the plug compatible with your light bara only or anything in the market it like the diode, baja, rigid?
You just blocked off air supply for the cooler?
which of those red wires do you use if you want to tap into an existing switch so that the switch light comes on with your interior lights at night?
The red closest to the black
I can't believe more people aren't catching on to this. The easy way is to combine the 2 red wires but you would think Cali Raised would point this out in their install video. I would imagine most people would want the switch to illuminate with the others.
Great light bar, I just installed it this weekend. I am very happy with the results, the wiring was a success also. One thing, if you could put a bend on the brackets where they attached to the place where the air dam is ( the middle plastic pin) you probably won’t have to discard the air dams. Just a thought, otherwise very happy with your products.
Getting a u joint adapter for those trans cooler bolts. I hit then at their necessary angle with an impact gun and man glitter started raining but they didn't budge. He skipped that in the video because they suck
What is the difference between the Combo Beam and a Spot Beam on your website?
Dru670 did you ever find out?
Will those brackets hold a 30” Baja designs lightbar?
I installed based off this video and my switch/light bar aren't lighting up. Recommendations?
I ran into the same issue with their oem switch with the install of their pods. After a lengthy exchanges of messages back and forth I just use the original switch that came with the kit and save yourself the extra $10.99
penus
Switch polarity
Why didn’t you show the lights lit up once you went thru all that? Do you have the same hole on GEN 2 Taco to run wires thru firewall or is located elsewhere?
None of your videos cover where to put the little black box along the cable. I've got 2 of your accessories (and love them) but both cables' little black boxes don't fit on the same bolt holding in the fuse box. What's your suggestion without having to make another purchase?
Take a small sheet metal screw and bolt them to the inner fender. Or the best option is to get our relay holder: caliraisedled.com/products/2005-2020-toyota-tacoma-4runner-bolt-on-relay-holder?_pos=1&_sid=aa5f722c6&_ss=r
@@CaliRaisedLED Thanks, I was hoping you could point me to where under the hood I can bolt them to safely. I tried putting them into the available bolt holes in the frame (the same 2 your relay holder bolts to) but the holes in the relay were too narrow for those bolts. Do you have a suggestion *other* than buying another thing?
Any vids on the flush mount on 2020?
What are the specs on the light bar? How lumens, etc..
Anyone have the link to the wiring video?
i bought this bracket but havent installed yet. i have a rigid 30' radiance bar that i wanted use this with. will it work as-is or do i need to buy some sort of spacer to make it fit snug? thanks in advance.
You will not need any spacers it should bolt right up to that light.
I just tried installing mine - wasn't able to remove the 4 bolts with a ratchet set. did you use an air driver to remove them? they are not budging...
Hello, They are on there pretty tight. I would recommend WD 40 or a larger ratchet.
Try your ratchet with a pipe on the end for more leverage, only after using PB Blaster or your preferred brand of penetrating oil.
I spent like 2 hours removing those damn things yesterday. I had some engine degreaser and let it sit for 30 minutes and they came right off.
How much lumens does it output?
My switch is in constant on all the time after I installed it. Did I connect the wires wrong?
I just did a Cali Raised light bar install.
Black to black
White to Green and yellow
Blue to red and yellow
Red and yellow next to the black to an add a circuit. I pulled the dash/panel fuse and plugged in the add a circuit there(make sure you switch the cab lights to off before you pull the fuse). My switch turns on with the lights like all the other switches. Hope this helps
Michael Rasmussen Ty, I finally had a chance to fix it. It was wrong connection at the back of the switch.
Will this fit with a hidden winch mount already installed?
It didn't work with mine. I had to switch to behind-the-grill.
If I could make a suggestion. 1. Disconnect battery. 2. With 18+ TSS WIRES NEED TO BE DISCONNECTED.
very nice install
Oh, forgot to ask, any problems with over heating because you removed the air dams?
I had the bolt head shear off last week while off-roading in death valley. The light bar spent two days banging around on the frame. Hope it is ok.
How did you get the cable through the fire wall???
Cut a slit in the large rubber boot that’s on the firewall. Fish it through using a screw driver or coat hanger with the wire taped to it.
so the plastics you removed from the side of the headlights won't install back
What’s the difference between the spot beam & combo beam option?
logan buchanan Combo is a mix of long range focused beam patterns and a short range flood pattern. Your light won't be a spotlight, but it won't be a flood light either. You get a good combination of long range spot with wide beam flood coverage.
What red wire is the one that lights up the plug blue? Mine is staying on even with the truck off
both red should be connected to blue. The light that's lit on the switch even when the truck is off won't drain your battery.

does removing the air dam affect the factory warranty?
switch out the brkts to the diode dynamics brackets. & you will be able to put the wind deflectors back in.
What Brand is the Light Bar ?
Hello,
caliraisedled.com
Im having trouble getting my wires through the firewall because the rubber grommet is so tight it wont fit anything
sedgix you need to make a small hole for the wire to go through.
yeah thats what I ended up doing and it worked. Unfortunately, later that night some dude in a chevy slammed into my rear tire and flipped my truck and now its totaled.
does this harness require a 5 amp fuse for the 150 watt light bar?
Our 32" LED Bar like what is seen in this video is a 300W LED Bar. The wire harness that is included with this led bar is a 15A Fuse.
What a great video. Couldn’t be any more thorough. Can’t wait to get mine ordered and installed. You guys are crushing it. Been great following the progress on social media.
Update: light bar is installed, functions and looks amazing. Everything from the after market switch and wiring harness are fantastic. Just some awarenesses to self installers:
#1. Don’t know where the locking washers go. No instructions included with the kit.
#2. VERY challenging getting the Allen wrench bolts into the side of the light bar.
#3. Getting the light bar into place can be challenging as well. (Some direction on this process would be super helpful.)
BUT this kit, it’s quality, and this video are amazing quality. I couldn’t be more excited with how everything looks and turns out. Thanks for a great product.
Installed this kit last night. took me about 30 min. only issue i had was the lock nuts were 7/16, not metric. so i i had to dig out my SAE wrenches. but other than that, amazing fit and finish! well done!
Great video. Looking to get one of but curious what's the difference between the combo beam light and the spot beam?
Hello,
The difference is in the beam pattern of the light. The spot will throw a very far distance with little side to side coverage. The combo is a combination of a spot and flood. It will give you a nice distance along with a great overall coverage area. If you have any questions please email us at info@caliraisedled.com or give us a call at 714-752-6315
I am also adding their ditch lights ....took their advice and went with spot on their 32" double row bar as I'll have great periphery coverage with the ditch lights & fogs. Gotta get it all installed on my next day off.
Looks like you hardwired it in. 99% of the time I always prefer to run a relay to the 'parking lights' so the light's can ONLY come on if you have the factory perking light's on. Do like the design of the brackets.
Bob Xziang we run them off our our wiring harness we provide. They have a relay and fuse included. The new brackets are awesome!
That is good with the wire loom. Just not a fan of having a light bar hardwired in. Rather have auxiliary lighting wired in so you have to have the 'parking' lights on in order for them to be turned on. Just my preference.
Cali Raised LED will this be the same in 15
Bob Xziang you can wire these up anyway you prefer. I found that with the way Cali Raised shows in this video is nice because if I need the light without the vehicle on I can run it. The switch they sell is cool because it lights up when it’s energized. Yes you have to be responsible and make sure to turn it off but hell if you can’t tell you left your LED bar on you might want to get your eyes checked. This bar is bright! To each is own but this wiring set up is great for me.
Great video...I’ve been looking for one as in-depth as this one. Is there any way you can add to this video and show how the finished product looks and performs with the light quality in the location it’s at?
Will it work on the 2018 Tacoma TRD Pro with no cutting?
YES
Looks nice. So as it is in the video, what setting did you end up with on the Bilstein 5100's?
Just did the whole install last night, it was pretty simple and took about 2.5 hours taking my time, drinking a few beers and watching the video. The most difficult part was sliding the bar into place. The bar is so long and the video didn’t show that part however you can figure it out with some playin around with it. My package didn’t come with any instructions so this video was my only source. It was nice to have all the tool sizes from the video. I love the bar and it’s so freaking bright, I’m telling you I have harnessed the power of the sun. My ditch lights are on the way! Thank you Cali Raised in providing as advertised accessories!
Sliding the light bar in was easily the most difficult part of the installation. For the life of me I couldn't squeeze it through so I removed the passenger side bracket , put the light into position and slid the bracket back on. Was much easier that way.
Where did you guys place the relay?
How did you get the cable through the fire wall?
@@krystianszymanski1081 there are bolt holes just up from the battery. I also bought their relay holder which bolts into place there and holds 3
Are there any negative effects to removing the air dams?
mrmojorisingii no
This is the only thing stopping me from pulling the trigger tbh, wish there was a bracket that let you keep them in
Do u ship to Canada?
Antonio Daddio yes we do. This kit is $30 to ship to Canada
Is it the same on the 17 ?
FLINT yes. 2016-2018+
I'm in the process right now of installing a bunch of your lights for a customer of mine who is sponsored by Cali raised LED. I'm installing the light bar, ditch lights, fog lights, some lights that fit in the grill, and then a few of the OEM style switches on a panel. I recently just put a bunch of lights on my Jeep, but I think I'm going to have to go with the Cali raised LED use on my new Toyota build that I am in the process of doing right now. I really like your lights over some of the competitors.
Funny the liberal Washington Post wants to get the message across before this vid starts basically telling people to vote democrat well got news for the Washington Post which is in with the liberal youtube/google nevertheless I will be voting republican straight across the board this mid term election..
