Low Profile Ditch Light Brackets Kit For 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma

MPN: CR2852

How's the peripheral lighting on your rig? Time to upgrade your side lighting with this kit! It includes the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma Ditch Light Brackets, LED Ditch Light Pods, Wiring Harness, and the option to add a “Ditch Light” switch.

Mount your lights with confidence and take on the trail with style with our custom 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma Brackets and LED light pod kit. Ditch light mounts attach to the hood hinges and can be angled in any direction. For optimal performance, they are best placed at a 45° angle away from the vehicle to illuminate the sides of the road at night to light the harder-to-see areas.

The durable, low-profile design is the lowest profile on the market, which aids in protecting your lights from damage without inhibiting your view. Fabricated in-house in Fort Worth, Texas, these laser-cut brackets will hold your light pods securely - on and off the trail, rain or shine. To defend against corrosion our brackets are professionally powder-coated in a durable black semi-gloss finish.

FEATURES:

  • Easy bolt-on installation.
  • Does not affect the opening or closing of the hood of your vehicle.
  • Low profile design allows for light protection without compromising on visibility.
  • Brackets are powder-coated with a durable black semi-gloss mini texture.
  • Works with just about any LED light pod available, designed with Cali Raised LED Light pods in mind.

Amber lights are best used for foggy conditions according to most drivers.
During fog, water droplets often act as mirrors and reflect the light generated by the car back into the driver’s eye. And, it makes driving in the fog a real driving hazard. Many car buyers believe that yellow lights penetrate fog better. But, the reason is something else. You now know that blue light falls right in front of our eyes. When we see any object in blue light, it appears fuzzy or unclear with a blue tone around it. It is a phenomenon called “glare”. According to a study, blue light is often the reason behind driver complaints of discomfort glare. Blue or white light against the snow or fog can be glaring to the eyes and it can make you tired soon. When you are driving through snowy roads, the white lights can tire you as well.

Cali Raised LED provides a 2-year warranty on all our products. Limited warranty on third-party products, contact us directly for details.

(2) 3X2 18W AMBER LED PODS / No Switch

Everything fit the way it was supposed to! No issues and they look great. I did replace the silver hardware with black so the bolts matched the ditch light bracket.

Thanks, Brett! The ditch light bracket setup looks great in the photos, and we’re glad everything fit exactly as it should with no issues. The black hardware was a nice touch too, it really cleans up the finished look.

I've had these installed for over 6 years now (2018) and they look just about as good as when I first got them. Highly recommend these for the longevity alone.

(2) 27W SIDE PROJECTING LED PODS / Ditch Lights Switch - Blue Backlight - Tall

Super easy install and came in handy when my city was flooding last week. It really fills out my side viewing area when paired with the 52" lightbar.

Thanks, Jacob! Glad the Low Profile Ditch Light Brackets were easy to install and helped improve your side visibility when you needed it. Sounds like they pair really well with your 52' light bar setup.

Recommend updated instructional video w more detail

Overall the lights kit has been great (super bright) and once installed I have no complains. I am a novice at best when it comes to car mechanics but after watching the video on the website I thought I would give it a try. I was successful but it probably took me 4+ hours overall, including seeking out additional Youtube assistance - which is somewhat lacking too. I wish there would have been a more detailed video/photo and sequential order when it came to the bracket install, pushing wires through the firewall and removing the dash frame to install the button. Again, I figured it out but it took more time than I anticipated and additional online research.

awesome customer service awesome product

After I received my order I was assembling the lights to the brackets and found a slight defect 1 of the bolt holes wasn’t drilled through it was the weekend so caliraised was closed I sent a email explaining the issue. Monday morning they emailed me back and asked a few questions and just wanted pics of the defective pod 2 days later they sent out a replacement. When the replacement arrived a few days after that I was able to install them without any further issues and I love them they are very bright and well made the harness is plug and play and after I ordered the illumination harness the factory style switch completes the stock look dash board thank you caliraisedled.com for a awesome experience with awesome products and look forward to future purchases.

Tacoma ditch light and switch

These lights are great and look/feel fantastic ..the only thing I didn't like was how hard it was to the get the light to the light bracket itself but the mountingbracket is excellent and made great. I had a stroke 3 weeks ago and heart surgery But with the help of the youtube videos I was able to install them myself even with limited movement in my left hand..luckily I'm an hvac installer and used to wiring all the time but install instruction video made this install very easy..I recommend caliraised products all day/night
