    Yes we offer the same kind of deal for the 4Runner too, and all our bars are IP68, and unfortunately those are all the photos we have and since we have switched to 5D light bars we haven't gotten any new output pictures of the too. But the spot is a very concentrated beam. Where the flood spot combo still has a cendentrated spot but also floods shooting to the side so you have more of a 180 degree type of light.

    I have 6 LED pods on my truck from Cali raised. The 2x3 ditch, 2x3 flush pods, and the 2x3 amber spot. One of the Amber spots had a bad seal and collected water inside the housing. The light still functioned, but I worried about the electrical long term. Contacted cali raised, they got back to me same day, told me to ship it back to them and they'll send me a replacement for free.

    So far, after 2 years of running cali raised lights, I haven't had any issues but the one, and cali raised customer service is top notch.

    This one is a combo lens with the flood/spot. Let me know if you have any questions.

    Thanks

    What do you guys prefer... Combo light or spot? I bought one used thinking it was the combo light but turns out it's the spot only. Haven't installed it yet.

    Thinking... Since I got a good deal on it. I'll install this and also get the LED fogs to get some spread and that should be enough.

    Edit... It's a 32in to be mounted in the stealth lower bumper position

    I have the combo mounted stealth. I lose a little of the spread but it still throws a good amount to the side.

    Weathertech floor mats, CaliRaisedLED 30" bumper light bar, CaliRaisedLED Ditch Lights - yet to be installed, CaliRaisedLED 52" Light Bar - not sure if I'm going to install...
    I bought the 52" lightbar, mounting brackets, and wiring harness/button, the 30" lightbar, mounting brackets and wiring harness/button, and the ditch lights, brackets and harness/button and all of it was damaged in shipping due to poor packaging. I contacted Cali Raised and ended up getting a 15% refund which honestly left a bad taste in my mouth, but me being on the East Coast of Canada made it seem like I had no choice so I just accepted this and moved on.

    I installed the wiring for them all and found that the length of the wiring harness cables from the battery to the Cali Raised relay holder were not long enough so I had to run them over the fuse box cover which kind of pissed me off but it's not a HUGE deal I guess. I installed the 30" bar and brackets with no issues but didn't have the confidence to drill the holes for the 52" bar and I needed a cover for it anyway as it's not legal in my province without it being covered. I had someone making covers for my ditch lights so I didn't get them installed as of yet either. During the making of the cover they dropped a light and it broke the plug on the end of the cable from one of the lights but I haven't had a chance as of yet to figure out what the type of plug is and get it replaced, I'm hoping to get the plug name and a replacement this week or next.

    I ended up going out and testing the 30" bumper lightbar and I realized holy crap this thing is bright!! Like, honestly, with the 30" I felt like the 52" was not required at all, but I still plan to install it... assuming someone out there can confirm they were able to install it with no vibration issue?? I like the look of it but vibrations really annoy me so I'll wait and see if anyone has successfully installed this light with no vibration issue first??

    All in all I really like the quality of these lights, I've driven through some deep water holes with the 30" on and have had no condensation or leaking issues at all and the damn thing has been fully submerged while on, great quality to the light itself IMHO!

    Once I have everything installed (truck is at the body shop for the next two weeks and I still need to find a replacement plug for one of the ditch lights and get a cover made for the 52" lightbar) I am planning to post a Youtube video with my thoughts and a full review of the lights with footage of all of the various lights on and all of the combo's to let people see how bright they truly are.

    Hope you all have a great day!

    Chad
