Installed the Cali Raised Ditch Light Bracket Kit with 27W side projecting LED. Connected to the pre-wired aux switch.
Installation of the brackets and lights was relatively easy Install Ditch Light Bracket Kit. I wish there were a one page diagram showing the details of the light connection to the bracket - I figured it out but a diagram showing details not at all shown in the videos would have been helpful.
The wiring that comes with the kit includes a "Dual Lead Wiring Harness" that includes a relay and cable with simple switch - I would have much preferred a simpler connection direct to the light connectors since I don't need all that extra wiring and potential for that switch to get triggered or corroded inside my engine bay - but its working so I've not bugged Cali Raised about this yet. Just lots of extra unneeded cabling that I had to find a place for.
The linked instruction says to zip tie to the plastic cowling across the back of the engine bay but I had a hell of a time finding a way to make that attachment - routed the cable from the passenger side light below that cowling and attached it where I could find a spot for a zip tie. The cable from that passenger side light combined with the cable from the relay was just barely long enough to reach the pigtail I connected to the port behind the driver's side headlight. If I decided to cut the cable and get rid of the relay and switch I would need to splice in more wire. Did not bother doing that.
Pigtail connection to relay wire routed under ECU and everything I could fit it under. Relay attached to open bolt hole behind ECU with coil of extra wires zip tied down (no photo unfortunately)
Method for removing cover from aux switch port to install pigtail:
Lights work great with the aux switch and look/perform well.
