Cali Raised LED

For a little over 350 bucks, you can get an ungodly amount of light bar shoved into a hidden slot between your grille and your b Now t On Cali Raised website, they give you options of their in-house made steel brackets, type of 32 inch Osram light bar, either spot or combo, and w I got mine in less than a week, so they have these readily on hand. The box arrived fully branded with Cali Raised, so if you're trying to The Protek Malibu gets the honors on t Inside the box you get a promotional card with a QR code directly to installation instructions, a Cali Raised decal, the optional tall OEM style switch w Opening up the light bar box reveals the light bar. I chose the combo spot light bar to give a wide beam of light versus a more focused spot only light bar. Inside the box it comes with mounting hardware that you can discard, as you will use the Cali Raised hardware in the first box. You can see the somewhat blurred section being the more flood style light, and the center section being more spot or focused light. The entire bar housing is made from al Cali Raised did add their logo on either side as a bolt on item. On the backside you do have the waterproof wire connection that mates up to the wiring harness supplied. It measures 32 inches in length and has a dual row of LEDs, 60 total LEDs putting up 30,000 l IP rating is 68. Tools and supplies needed for the installation include 3 8 inch sized ratchets, a 14mm, 12mm, and 10mm sockets, a socket extension, a cheater bar I'm using a 3 u00bc inch piece of conduit, wire cr The included 3 16 inch hex wrench, and for supplies you'll need electrical tape, zip ties, and 18 to 22 gauge butt splices. I'll link below the Cali Raised install video as they did a top notch video. I of course tried to debunk the method they used for installation to see if I could streamline the procedure, and honestly you can't. First I removed the grille. T With the grille out of the way, you have full access to everyt Removing the two wind deflectors is easy, two clips, and they just pop right out. I t Here's where I started to modify the installation procedure and failed. I ended up installing the brackets first to try and squeeze the light bar in after. That's a no go ghost rider. It'so I had to remove the brackets, lay the light bar in, and then reinstall the brackets. Also tried to not move to the side the pl You must remove the two screws and move that item to the side. There's just not enough room angle wise to allow the light bar to negotiate into the Probably the hardest part of the install is getting the screws through the bracket into the light bar. You have an allen head screw, a washer, and a lock nut to try and get threaded in w The passenger side went right in, but the driver side took about 20 minutes to get it in just three threads. Once all the hardware started, you can maneuver the light bar with the brackets to the I found that position to be perfect to aim out of that Once the light bar is fully tightened and angled the way you want, reinstall the coil brackets and the grille and you'ready to start wiring. Calories does have a video on wiring procedure, but for some reason they use the wire colors of the switch lead and not the wire colors of the switch extension that you will need to use. Yes, these two have different colors. For wiring I started in the engine compartment and mounted the relay with a self tapping screw into the sidewall next to the battery. I gathered up the excess light bar wire and zip tied it in the cavity in front of the battery. I laid the switch wire towards the firewall and you will need to use the switch extension. I poked a small hole into the wiring boot to allow the switch wire to go into the cab. Inside the cab I removed the left side switch panel with a panel removal tool. It pops right out. I fed the wire through the panel hole and got it ready to splice the switch wire in. The wire from the light bar will be black, blue and w The extension is black, red and yellow. The switch wire is black, red, red and green. Confusing right? You do want to combine the two reds together on the switch wire. The main t We shrink the butt slices, plug it into the switch and reinstall the switch panel. The last t I tidied up the wires, made sure everyt All is good. The CaliRace light bar really fits well in the space. The brackets are well engineered and solid. The wiring harness and switch give it a semi-OEM look and function. All in all, a great addition to my 2022 TRT Offroad. And as they say, light bars before lockers. If this video was helpful, hit the Finally, my name is Rich.
