Cali Raised LED is an independent off-road accessories company based in Fort Worth, Texas. It was founded in 2014 in Buena Park, California, and is a separate company from Cali Raised Offroad. Read the official company information for more about the business and its products.

Lighting options include vehicle-specific ditch light and bumper light bar kits. Check the selected kit for its exact brackets, lights, harness, switch options and installation requirements.

Choose accessories by exact vehicle application and review the specifications for each product. Installation requirements and manufacturing origin should be checked for the particular item rather than inferred from the brand as a whole.

Today Cali Raised LED covers Tacoma (2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen), 4Runner (5th gen and older), Tundra, and Sequoia with a catalog that includes rock sliders, skid plates, MOLLE panels, ditch light kits, bumper light bar kits, bed racks, and switch panels.
