    Anyone else have issues with Cali Raised light bars? I am on my 3rd 43' Amber/White dual function LED bar. I have it mounted to a Cali Raised premium roof rack and they quickly (couple of months) fill with water. I live in Jacksonville, FL so we do get some serious rain, but it does claim to be IP68 rated. When I contacted them and showed pics I was told to just turn it on and dry it out. This doesn't work at all and the reflectors are pitted and the lens is hazed.

    To make it worse I left a 1 Star review on their website and it never appeared, even after verifying my email. That's shady Sh!t! I love their rack but will never do business with them again and will be sure to let others know of their quality and business practices.

    Every cali raised light I have seen appears to be extra cheap Chinese stuff, their ditch light brackets sure have done well for me though

    Yeah, other than no idea of shipping timeframe their brackets and racks are pretty good.

    Well...I just had a conversation with Jake at CaliRaised and feel much better after the conversation. For the price and with the warranty It really is a good product. If/When my current light fills with water I will try the dual-row 43" which he says is a bit more water resistant. And...their skid-plate group buy is amazing!
