Cali Raised LED Premium Roof Rack Front Light Bar Kit for 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma

Cali Raised LED front light bar kit integrated into the Premium Roof Rack on a 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma

Light Up the Trail From the Roof

Cali Raised LED front light bar kit for the Premium Roof Rack on the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma.

Requires the Cali Raised Premium Roof Rack

This kit is designed to integrate with the Cali Raised LED Premium Roof Rack for the Tacoma, which is sold separately. It does not fit other roof racks.

It currently fits the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma. Not sure which rack you have? Call 844-200-3979 before you order.

If you already run the Cali Raised Premium Roof Rack on your Tacoma, or the Cali Raised Tacoma roof rack is on your list, the front of it is built for a light bar. This kit fills that space. It brings the light bar and the mounting brackets made for the rack, plus optional wiring harness and switch, so you are not piecing together a universal bar and generic brackets and hoping they line up.

It is the clean way to set up a Tacoma roof rack with light bar: the bar mounts where the rack was designed for it, integrates with the rack, and gives you the height that only a roof-mounted bar can. Choose a white bar for outright distance, or a dual function bar for amber light in dust and fog.

2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma

2 Light Bar Choices

Included Mounting Brackets

Optional Harness and Switch

White or Dual Function?

You choose your Tacoma light bar at checkout. They suit different conditions, so think about where you drive at night.

	White Light Bar	Dual Function Light Bar
Light colour	White	White and amber
Strength	Maximum distance and brightness on clear nights	Amber cuts through dust, fog, rain and snow
Weakness	White light reflects back off dust and fog	More wiring if you want each colour switched separately
Best for	Desert roads, open trails, clear conditions	Dusty trails, forest roads, winter and mixed weather

Why amber? White light scatters off airborne particles and throws glare back at you, the same reason high beams make fog worse. Amber scatters less, so more of it reaches the trail. Our 43" amber and white dual function bar page goes into how amber and white work together in more detail.

Choose Your Harness and Switch

Setting up a Tacoma roof rack with light bar also means sorting power and control. The kit always includes the mounting brackets and the light bar. The wiring harness and the switch are options you select when you order.

Wiring harness: unless you already have an auxiliary lighting circuit or plan your own wiring, take the harness. It is the simplest way to get the bar powered safely.
Switch: choose the switch that suits your dash and how you want to control the bar.
Dual function bars: if you want to run amber and white separately, ask us how the harness options handle that before you order, so you get the control you are after.

The Honest Case for a Tacoma Roof Light Bar

A Tacoma roof light bar has real advantages, and a couple of trade-offs worth knowing before you buy.

Height

Mounted on the roof, the bar sits higher than anything on the bumper, which helps throw light further down the trail and over crests.

Out of Harm's Way

Up on the rack, the bar is clear of the rocks, brush and bumps that hit bumper-mounted lights.

Clean Integration

Cali Raised designed it for seamless integration with the Premium Roof Rack, rather than as a universal bolt-on.

✓ Two Things to Keep in Mind

A bright roof bar can reflect some light off the bonnet on certain trucks, and it is an off-road light, so it should not be on around other traffic. Check your state's rules on auxiliary lighting before using it on public roads.

Go Further With 360-Degree Lighting

A Tacoma roof rack light bar lights the trail ahead. If you want light all the way around the truck, Cali Raised offer a Tacoma side lighting kit for the Premium Roof Rack with four side light pods and two rear light pods. That lights up camp, the sides of a narrow trail and the area behind the truck, which makes setting up after dark much easier. It is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this kit turn my rack into a Tacoma roof rack with light bar?

Only if your rack is the Cali Raised LED Premium Roof Rack. The kit is designed for that rack and does not fit other roof racks.

Which Tacoma years does it fit?

It currently fits the 2005-2023 Toyota Tacoma, with the Cali Raised Premium Roof Rack fitted.

Should I choose the white or dual function bar?

White for maximum distance on clear nights. Dual function if you drive in dust, fog, rain or snow, because the amber light cuts through those conditions where white light glares back at you.

Are the wiring harness and switch included?

They are options you select at checkout. The mounting brackets and light bar are always included. Unless you plan your own wiring, we recommend adding the harness.

Can I add side and rear lights?

Yes. Cali Raised offer a Tacoma side lighting kit for the Premium Roof Rack with four side pods and two rear pods, sold separately, for full 360-degree lighting.
