    Installed my @CaliRaisedLed bumper light bar the other day. Super easy install, came out super sweet. Here are some pics of the install and how it came out.

    With our 32” led bar it is 30,000 lumens.

    Looks sweet! Any advice for getting the side bolts holding the light bar to the bracket in? Heard they can be a b****. I am about to install mine this weekend. Thanks

    That is definitely the hardest part of the whole install. Took me a long time to get them in, but once you remove the wind deflectors (early in the install) there is nothing else you can easily take out to help get them in. Best thing to do is just try and line it up then thread it in with your hand as much as you can. It does help if you tighten the brackets to where they are barely moving. Hope this helps.

    Installed mine this weekend, but the bar does not seem to sit at the correct angle. The side bolts into the light bar are pretty tight, but it still has about and inch of tilt up and down. Any way to fix this? @CaliRaisedLed

    (I did use the medium sized bolts instead of the shorter ones)

    Easiest way to get at those end bolts is to pop out your fog lights.

    It would have been easier if I had a broken arm to get to a few bolts but I managed it. Just take your time and don’t get frustrated when you drop a nut and it doesn’t hit the ground.

    You used the wrong bolts. Short bolts will snug it right up and it won't move. I believe it mentions this specifically in the instructions somewhere.

    I know this thread is a couple years old @riverrat12, but before I post a new thread, hoping I get find some answers here! Just recently purchased the front bumper light from @CaliRaisedLed as well!

    Question is how to fit the wire through to the inside of the car by the foot pedal. I've attached some pictures. It's super tight and doesn't really have any openings to be able to push it through. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!!

    I actually finally found this video on YouTube posted directly by @CaliRaisedLed. They mention to cut a small slit to push the wire through. Link to the video below!
