    All,

    Quick question.... for those of you that have ditch lights, do you have any trouble going through a car wash? Or did you switch to hand washing?

    I'm looking into getting the Cali Raised pods with side projecting LEDs here soon...

    Thanks for the help!

    Hand wash is the only way to go.

    While a hand was is nice - your ditch lights will be fine in the car wash. Used to do it all the time on another truck of mine.

    They could get damaged. Peoples vehicles get damaged every day, even without mods bolted on in those washes. Just remember they wont reimburse you for the damage. Use at your own risk.

    As long as it is the kind that does not actually touch your car - you should be fine.
