    Also. I'm gonna point out the instructional video for Cali raised light bars starring the kid who who may or may not work at a Taco Bell, filmed in a carpet barn.

    While this shouldn't even be a question and this forum never ceases to amaze me. I have had lights on my old trucks from OKLED(not even sure if they are around anymore), Rigid Industries(when they were good and not owned by Trucklite), and I have @Baja Designs on my current truck. And I will say the @Baja Designs lights are amazing. Not only are they serviceable(unlike the other brands that if you do this yourself the warranty is voided) but they have some of the best optics out there and their lights outshine most if not all lights on the market. I love my @Baja Designs bars and if I ever need any other lights they will be Bajas. They are worth every penny.

    Edit: I brought in some photos from my build thread.
    This is the S8 30"
    BHDV3310.jpg
    This is the OnX6 30" with the 2 outer 10" sections in amber, center 10" section in white.
    MFEL6176.jpg
    Both these photos are taken with no other lights on.
    Heres a picture of the bars mounted for reference. I also have the Baja Designs Squadron sports in my fogs and Squadron Pros on the A pillar mounts.

    Would you mind linking those amber fog lights you have? I've looked around and cant seem to find anything, on Cali or BD with amber lights.

    Not slamming CR.

    A car is a car and a Bentley is a Bentley.

    Same, but entirely different.

    What I do happen to like about Cali raised- reppin CA. Prices are not asinine.
    Don't change Cali raised. It's hard to be that in today's world, where I click on a light and immediately I'm like "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME" I'm looking at you, ARB.

    Just a question if a light is just a light is a king coilover the same as a bilstein 5100? If you were to compare the lights side by side they will be 100% different in quality and power.

    King isn't the end all in quality.

    I'll compare king bypasses to bilstein blackhawks all day.


    Fuck it I'm just gonna say it. Fuck king.
