    Ok so here is the harness info for you guys.

    If you have factory fogs: I am waiting for female Delphi weather connector to arrive. It is not a generic one of course, it is a special socket. This will be a pic tail that you can connect to the wires on the LED pod and will allow you to plug it into the factory harness.

    If you do not have factory fogs: You can buy a two lead LED harness from me (Cali Raised brand) for $15 or you can order one from Amazon by MicTuning, OPT7, or that many others out there. I prefer the MicTuning that comes with a nice switch. They are all simple to connect and are complete.

    As far as install goes, I will post some pictures of that and also of the LED output once I get the finals built. I am waiting for hardware to arrive tomorrow and then I will be building out 20 pairs. Once I have them I will post pics of the final product and the install.

    To explain, it is a rather easy process. You first need to remove the factory fog (if applicable). This is a simple process, you can take the whole unit out with a flat head screw driver. There are two clips that get pushed in on each side of the housing, then one clip on the back that requires you to squeeze two tabs. Once it is lose you can disconnect the wire and its out.

    Install will be even easier. The LED bolts to the mount, each one is held on by two bolts and nuts. Once the LED is mounted to the mount, it simply slides into place. There is one 4" long 3/8" diameter bolt that goes into the original mounting hole of the factory fog. You put a washer and nut on the bolt and tighten down until it is snug. Plug in the harness, and off you go! If you don't want to buy the harness, then cut the factory harness off and connect the wires.

    Will pod lights such as the Rigid Dually work with this bracket?

    I believe they will as long as the housing is the same. I do not have a Rigid to test it with, but from pics, they look similar.

    Would be interested in the answer. I'm going to get a set of the brackets and pigtails for my 2013 regardless, but would prefer to use Rigid if they will fit.

    I'm sold. I called the number on his page and Chris answered and was kind enough to answer all my questions. I bought the Flush mount + 4D LED combo a few weeks back and love it!! So gimme gimme!

    If you want to buy just the mounts, we can give it a shot. If there is a problem with them, I will honor to combo price on a set of Cali Raised pods and send those to you.

    Was my pleasure!

    Who is ready for 2012 - 2015 Pod Mounts!!!!

    @Nickel came by today and we did some testing. It became clear very quickly that the factory housing needed to go for the cleanest fit and look. So we set out to make something nice. I want to call these 95% bolt on, haha. They require you to drill one 3/8" hole in your bumper for mounting. However, the hole is covered by the factory panel which can be re-installed and you would never know the hole was there. The rest just slides right in with some tabs as the factory mount does, and then you tighten the nut on the new mounting bolt and they are in there!

    These were fun to design. The bumper contour is not flat, so they take a little bit more work and time to fit as the plate has a bend in it. The result is great and they fit nice and tight. The LED pod is not completely flat with the front bumper, but instead aim the LED slightly outward. I think this is a positive and will work great. This moves the light beam outward into the corners so you can see around your truck better. I am still doing some design cleanup/updates to the product to make it perfect. @Nickel will be coming by this weekend for final fitment for you guys! These will make for one killer combo with the lower grill LED mounts I currently offer!!!

    Time for what you are waiting for!!!

    Pricing for these. Sorry I had to add a little bit due to added time and wear and tear on my press brake. It's only $10 more to the total price and worth it for a perfect fit. I didn't want to make some cheap junk. Also, these have a different harness than the 2005 - 2011, thanks Toyota, but @CaliRaisedLed and I will get some made for these plugs as well. The harnesses will tentatively be $8 more if you want one for the pair of pigtails.

    $70 - Mount only, with free shipping
    $119.99 - Mount and pair of 16W Cali Raised Pods, with free shipping
    $129.99 - Mount and pair of 18W Cali Raised Pods, with free shipping
    $134.99 - Mount and pair of 18W Amber Cali Raised Pods, with shipping
    Plus tentative $8 for harness to use factory wiring if desired.
