Cali Raised or Tacoma Beast Pods

Would love to get some input between these 2 brands from the community. I am looking to upgrade my factory fog lights to a 2x2 20w pod set up. Cost is very similar. Is anyone running these who would be willing to give feedback?

Theyre probably OEMd from the same Chinese factory. Don't think you'll have any problems getting either one.

 

You can get the same lights from Amazon for a much better deal. There are a few members who can't reach Tacomabeast for warranty issues. So don't use them, not worth the trouble.

 

Dang! Thanks for the info. I was about to pull the trigger with the Tacoma Beast pods. Has anyone used Auxbeam or Rigid?

 

Auxbeam has a good rep for being a cheaper alternative with good performance. Can't go wrong with Rigid lights.

 

When it comes to the pods and smaller LEDs...I'd definitely stick with Rigid. I know the bars and the bigger products are way too expensive for my taste....but the smaller lights are affordable. I think I've owned every kind of LED...and I just find spending the extra dollar on a Rigid pod or smaller sized LED is worth it. Their powder coating doesn't fade...their lenses do not yellow, and I've never had moisture issues with Rigid.

 

I just installed the caliraised amber pods a few weeks ago. Decently cheap, look great, easy install, and the amber provides a lot of detail in the dust. Easy on the eyes. Id buy them again. Havent had them long enough to speak on behalf of yellowing lenses, powder coat lifespan, etc.

 

I have the Cali-Raised ditch lights and they're graying up and the lens is yellowing. I mean they're cheap enough...but I'm going to replace with the Rigids.

 

Rigid - buy once cry once.

 

This.

 

Ah that sucks i have those too. Guess ill have to put em to good use while they last haha

 

Crap, I just installed the Cali Raised Ditch Lights. I should just go with the Rigid SAE Pods for my fog lights

 

They've done well...but a buddy of mine has the Rigid Dually Side Shooters and they obliterate the Cali Raised ones.

 

After owning the cheapo lights for so long, and reacing them countless times. I really wish I went with the right lights the first time. I plan on replacing my side shooters with rigid once they go bad. Just bought rigids sae lights to replace my crappyraised ones

 

My cali raised pods and brackets about 2 years old. Contacted them but not heard back

 

Have you looked into Rough Country? I have a few of their lights now and so far they are great. I went with them because they have amber DRL with some of their pods and bars, they also have white DRL options. They also have the black housing which I like better than the reflective ones. The price is also more reasonable.

Light bar is RC (flood combo w/DRL). Pods are Rigid.

 

which rigid pods would you guys recommend?

 

for all out light you cant go wrong with Baja Designs

yeah, my Cali-Raised Side shooters are starting to gray out and the clear lens is yellowing. Going to get some DSS Rigids here soon to replace. All of my Rigids are still going strong, and the black powder coat is perfect, even after 3 years.
