2019 Lower Light bar recommendations

Reconga2 · Dec 19, 2023

First time posting here. I need a recommendation for the lower bumper 30" lightbar. Cali Raised has seriously dropped the ball on shipping the one I ordered December 1st. When customer service fails, quality usually is close behind. Now I'm skeptical about their products. Need a good quality recommendation. I saw Diode Dynamics mentioned earlier. Any good?

Hard to go wrong with DD. I have several of their products, including a 12" bar with the driving light optic. I have some beam shots/comparison photos in the SAE J581 driving light thread at the top of this forum. A 30" bar will have the same pattern, just more light.

Another vote for DD. Got the amber combo bar behind the bumper and love it.

Ans yet another vote for DD. I got the Stealth Light Bar Kit with white combo light. A little pricey, but unquestionable quality. Wait for a sale.https://www.diodedynamics.com/2016-2023-toyota-tacoma-stealth-light-bar-kit.html

As @50Buck alluded to, the CaliRaised lighting equipment is pretty poor. I won't go down a rabbit hole on it, but... yeah. It's rebranded equipment that you could purchase on Amazon/Alibaba all day long. That said, I do like their in-house metal work. They do a pretty good job over there on that, and as a result I sell their sliders, cat shields, etc. The next step up in lighting equipment quality is going to be your Diode Dynamics light bars. They're still not made in the states, but they're also not a straight relabel. Their build quality is definitely a cut above, and they also get the Diode Dynamics TIR optics treatment to allow far more light to be used on the roadbed ahead.

Here's our link to the listing for the DD bar - https://hotshotoffroad.com/products/stealth-30-light-bar-kit
