    Are you talking about the plastic piece on each side? I was worried to but it's not a big deal

    Bought 27 dollar led bar from Amazon, took it apart and sealed it with rtv, no condensation issues. No yellowing yet, though that sort of oxidation tends to take years. But maybe not with cheap components? Id imagine putting some sort of film on the lens would solve that issue. Honestly though, cheap LEDs are a good foundation to make something decent out of with a couple hours of your time and maybe 20 bucks of material.

    These lights are awesome. Great company with the best customer service. These lights are far from low end. I’ve had mine for two years and they still look new.

    I've had them on since October. I live in WI and made a long distance trip through a blizzard. No moisture. Lights look brand new and function the same way they did when I bought them. Truck is kept outside.

    These lights don't act like budget lights in my opinion. My truck can put out more light with two side projecting pods and a 32" bumper mounted bar than any of our firetrucks. I like them a lot. The brackets are very well made and have not shown any signs of rust. The customer service is beyond awesome as well.

    I've had a 32" Cali Raised on my truck for two years. Not a single problem with the light and no condensation or yellowing. Just purchased a set of pods from them too.

    @CaliRaisedLed i installed your 42” amber single row on my prinsu rack 5 months ago. All was good but I have a tone of moisture in it now. I haven’t taken the truck under water...yet! And I don’t daily drive the truck either so I’m not sure how this happened so soon. Please advise.BF519F3A-F3FC-4516-A403-21FC9BF52EE1.jpg6FF555B4-6C81-460D-BDF3-8472F2F05888.jpg

    I’ve had mine for around 2 years now and I love their brightness and overall durability. However I have been plagued by their reliability. Moisture seems to always be on the inside causing some lights to intermittently work and I reached out to Cali and they explained the vent and told me to turn the lights on and burn off the moisture. Well I’ve been burning off the moisture for 2 years now..like I said I love the lights and I’ve bought a ton of stuff from them but wish they had done more than gas light me.
