do you know of a way to modify the wind deflectors so it is possible to still use them after the light bar is installed? I live in Calif and I want all the air possible flowing towards the radiator in the summer.
Ugh! I love companies like this that make things SO easy to understand and comprehend for us DIY guys. You’ve just earned yourself a new customer, I’ll be purchasing this kit VERY soon! Thank you!
Awesome tutorial, especially the follow up video for switch installation! It was a breeze. Only thing that was skipped in the video was installing the washers on the bolt before adding to the light bar. Super easy install for a first timer
If you look at the engine bay it would be located on the drivers side(right) Here is a video to visualize where it is. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-smD1jX9eJpg.html
Yeah I had to come here to see the order of the washers since the video missed it. Does the split washer lock against the other washer, then bracket then light bar? Or does the plain washer sit between bracket and light itself? Can't find a pdf or more info on the site showing an exploded view of the parts.
Question, I already got a cali raised ditch lights installed. Can i overlap the battery terminal of ditch lights and light bar? Is it not gonna blow any fuse or drain the battery?
This video absolutely helped. Though had to get creative with the wiring. Installed the switch in the middle under the HVAC controls, and the wire harness barely reached. Ended up cutting the connector off and spliced the two ends together, and an OEM switch at the end. But it all ended up working fine. Also, just a heads up to anyone with a manual... there is a little less open space under the hood to secure the relay, as the clutch fluid reservoir is there. Also fishing the wire through the firewall is A LITTLE more tricky, as the clutch pedal assembly is right where the wire comes through.
i have the universal button switch and hooked the wires up as in the video but the red light on the switch is constantly on even when truck off. what can i do
Hello PC, It sounds like you need some help. If you can provide us some photos and email them to the email provided below we can better assist you! info@caliraisedled.com
The video doesn’t clearly state what the M6 bolts, washers and split washers are for. I’m assuming those were the bolts you used to attach the bar to the bracket but what about the washers?
Starting at 10:09 is where the video explains the M6 bolt and washer going into the light bar. If you have any more questions feel free to shoot us an email! info@caliraisedled.com or call us (888)-385-5036.

Really detailed video! Question, has anybody used silicon to seal the Cali light bar? If not, has anyone gotten moisture or water inside the light bar? Debating whether or not to seal the light before install. Thanks.
Thank You for the educational and entertaining instruction video. It will definitely help with the install of this LED light bar modification. Keep up the good videos. Have A Good Weekend! 🛻🚚🚛
After watching this video, I would consider buying your product as a thank you note to a job well done explaining all the details of installing the light bar. I've watched close to 10 videos showing how to install the light bar. Most of these videos would skip out things that the installers assume others would know. Sadly, some of us don't. We want to see the details so that we don't screw things up. As a result, a small suggestion to an otherwise perfect 10 video is that you should have finished the installation by completing the connection to the battery. Please note that things that seem mundane to you can be not so mundane to the newbies.
Thank you for the positive comment. We try to make things as simple and appealing to everyone. When we do another video we will take you comment into consideration!
Unfortunately we cannot confirm that it will fit or not because all wenches and bumpers have different dimensions. If you happen to order it, Let us know if there is still room!
hey yall I installed a diode dynamics lightbar. I have flickering or vibration issues. I have rewired and ordered another lightbar. to see if it was the issue same thing. It only flickers when i’m off-roading or going over something bumpy does anyone have any ideas how to fix it?
Is it necessary to push that cooling system tubing back if you only have a single row light bar? That double row bar is much larger. Just trying to save time.
Who’s LED bar is brighter ? Yours or the diode dynamics LED bar ? I only ask because I want a bar for my truck but cannot decide which is brighter and better thanks.
Just installed my Auxbeam light bar with these mounts. Thanks for the instructions, very easy to follow. You weren't joking about tightening the bolts on the side of the light bar though, that is quite the awkward angle to get your wrist in there!
@@CaliRaisedLED I bought the low profile flush fit. Having trouble now getting the light bar to stay at the desired angle. Is it really just the one bolt on each side that holds it in place? Feel like im tightening too tight
@@Guywhoquestionsthings Yes, it is one bolt that will change the angle of the light bat. because the light bar is in a tight spot. You won't get too much e
Is there any chance this light bar and location would be compatible with a low profile steel bumper with a winch? Specifically a southern style offroad slimline?
We have options to include those and to not -- check out the product listing! caliraisedled.com/products/2016-2021-toyota-tacoma-32-lower-bumper-hidden-led-light-bar-kit
Find the original specs, but since this is only one of three bolts, and it only takes impact loads, the nut isn't doing any serious work besides keeping the bar on. Not like it's taking expansion stress like a hanging threaded rod with stuff stuff hanging from it.
why is there no details on 1. where to attach the relay, 2. where to attach the positive terminal of the battery and the ground, 3. showing actually running the wire through the firewall because that's probably the most annoying part of the install without proper tools
it's cool I found other videos on RU-vid to help. Just found it weird how you guys were EXTREMELY specific with the bracket part but just completely flew by the wiring part.
That’s actually pretty cheap for 30,000 lumen light bar and including mounts. I just bought at 40” bar for my roof and it’s was $800. You get what you pay for.
From Toyota: The Tacoma is assembled at Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Texas (TMMTX), in and Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Baja California (TMMBC), in Baja California, . Soooo...they may not all be made in TX, but some are a product of Texas and what's wrong w/supporting Texan labor?
