    interested in output pictures. If possible can you also have some pictures against a wall? I'm debating between this and the sets that Rigid Industries offers. Also debating on if I want SAE compliant lights or not..

    the price point is obviously a factor to consider

    I'm on the fence, I really wish there was an option that didn't say Cali Raised on the front of the lights.

    I'll ask some customers to take some pics and get back to you.

    thank you. I know your lights aren't SAE compliant so they wont have the same cutoff the rigids do, but your price point is making a very strong case

    Jake - are the 3rd gen brackets and 3x2 18W non-amber in stock now?

    The "2 leg" wiring harness has Deutsch type connectors for the lights, yes? So there's no cutting / soldering / splicing and the lights are removable by unbolting and unplugging, correct?

    For those asking questions, here is some info from some tests I have been doing getting these ready for Cali Raised. One of our testers had some of the TRD Pro Rigids and took some comparison shots between the Rigid fog, the 18W and 20W pods. I am the one manufacturing the first couple hundred for @CaliRaisedLed . The first 90 pairs are going to powder coating tomorrow and should be ready to ship this Friday for all those that pre-ordered and any additional orders. I am speaking independently of Cali Raised here so get final info from them. But I figured it would be good for those waiting to hear it from me, because I am making the first batches. And I am the one who has delayed the initial shipments. Perfection takes time and we were focused on doing it right, not doing it fast for fast sake. So thank you to everyone for your patients!!!!

    Final install pics:

    LED Comparison. First is the Rigid fog. Then in the 2nd picture the 18W is on the left and 20W on the right. The 18W is a traditional reflector with 6 LEDs. They are a spot beam but the traditional reflector allows the light to scatter more giving you some flood lighting. The 20W is a focused spot beam with 4 more powerful optical lenses. This gives you a very long and intense spot light. These pods are different from what the Rigid fogs are trying to accomplish. The Rigids are an SAE approved fog light and has to fit within those rules and regulations. You are getting a close distance fog pattern beam focused on close proximity fog lighting. With the Cali Raised pods they are not an SAE approved fog, but an offroad light. They don't have any limitations so your are getting a lot of spot lighting that reaches out and helps fill in the head light pattern, you are also in the case of the 18W pods getting some good medium distance flood lighting. Showing the full spectrum of light and real world application is hard with LED lighting and one of those things you just have to experience. The owner of the Rigid pods wrote to me "How do they compare to the stock Rigids? There is NO comparison!" This should give you an idea of the difference!!!!!

    Just got mine in and I had ordered what I thought was plug and play but the lights came with a separate harness that I had to attach to the lights. Kind of disappointed in this but I got it working just waiting on the mounts to show up.

    Sorry about the confusion, we offer an option for an oem plug. But glad you got it figured out, the mounts will be there shortly.

    That's what I ordered. I guess it's my bad for assuming that it meant the lights were prewired with the oem plugs.
