    So I got the wiring harness for the led pods from Cali raised and the harness doesn't have a ground and I have never seen these colors for the harness before please let me know if anyone knows what to do.

    They still haven't responded to email or on their lighting thread, this sucks cause everything else got installed easily and this stopped the last bit of work left on the installation

    Hang in there. They just may be busy right now at the moment. They are usually good about getting back within the same day. I feel your pain, man!

    Looks similar to the wiring harness my LED bar had from CaliRaised. However, it has enough variation that I would email them for confirmation.
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/switch-wiring-help.481521/page-4#post-15801311

    I wasted hours of researching an answer while waiting days for a response from their support email address. I finally did get a response, which was a bit vague. Vagueness and electronics/electricity do not play well together! I replied asking them to give more details and made a guess at what the person may have intended. They replied that my guess at their interpretation was correct. The linked post above is the final, working outcome of all that wasted time, because they don't want to provide accurate and updated documentation for their products. :jerkoff:

    They replied and said the wiring is
    green on switch - red/blue
    red closest to green on switch- blue/yellow
    black on switch - green/yellow
    red closest to black add a fuse

    Yeah it worked perfectly, I was talking to OP and he said it didn't work for him and in a different thread a member was told to do the same configuration from cali raised and it wasn't working for him either. I will try to take a pic of the connections later if it helps anyone

    Which did you buy, the bar or ditch lights? Does your wiring match exactly like the above image?

    Since the above doesn't work for you, it sounds like the harness was connected to the relay differently than expected when manufactured. Without a multi-meter, you would otherwise need to peel back the shrink cover at the relay connection to find which wire is connected to what pin on the relay and which to ground.

    You could also email caliraised for additional assistance. When I received differing colored LED Bar harness wires than what they have documented, I waited to received a reply from them before moving forward.

    I had the same problem with my stuff yesterday after I couldn't find a phone number I emailed them then got impatient and wired it up with the circle switch.

    Then my friend hooked up those beeping stick things said the oem switch didn't even work.

    I'd be extremely pissed but I did a good job of drilling for the circle switch and the lights look great.... but I probably won't buy from them again

    I was about to do the same but found a scion switch on Amazon and got it to fit in the blankScreenshot_20170825-204335.jpg spot.

    Sounds like an ongoing harness wiring consistency issue.
    Maybe Cali raised can develop a proprietary harness ?
