Truck & Jeep lighting
Headlights that reach, fog lamps that stay low, tail lights drivers notice and trail lighting that switches off when you hit pavement. We plan the whole system before a single wire gets run.
Lighting is a system, not a pile of parts
Most lighting problems we see don’t come from a bad lamp. They come from a lamp bolted wherever it fit, spliced into whatever wire was closest and pointed at nothing in particular.
We treat a truck or Jeep’s lighting as one plan. Where you drive at night, whether county gravel, mountain highway or a slow rock trail, decides the beam pattern, the color, where each lamp mounts and which switch turns it on.
What we install
Four groups cover nearly every lighting job that comes through the bay. Each page goes deeper on options, wiring and what affects install time.
Four decisions behind every lighting job
Beam pattern
A spot throws a narrow beam far down the road. A flood spreads light wide and close. Driving patterns sit between them, and an SAE fog pattern stays low with a sharp top edge so it doesn’t bounce off snow or dust back into your eyes. Picking the wrong pattern is the most common reason new lights disappoint.
Color
Cool white looks crisp on a showroom wall. In falling snow, dust or rain, a warmer white or selective amber lamp scatters less and is easier on your eyes over a long night drive. Many owners run white up high and amber down low.
Mounting location
Bumper mounts keep lamps low for fog and wide lighting. A-pillar or ditch mounts light the shoulder where deer and elk step out. Roof mounts reach the farthest but put glare on your hood. Where your bumper has pockets or tabs decides a lot, so see our bumper options if you’re planning both.
Control
Every auxiliary lamp runs through a relay and its own fuse, and gets a switch that makes sense: fogs on their own, trail lights on another, work lights separate. Switch panels keep six or eight circuits tidy in one spot on the dash.
What the statutes say about extra lamps
Colorado spells out lamp rules in Title 42. The short version for a lifted or lit-up rig: C.R.S. 42-4-205 puts the center of each headlamp between 24 and 54 inches off the ground, which matters once a lift and bigger tires raise the front. C.R.S. 42-4-212 allows up to two spot lamps, two fog lamps mounted 12 to 30 inches high, two auxiliary passing lamps and two auxiliary driving lamps.
Under C.R.S. 42-4-219, no more than four front lamps brighter than 300 candlepower can be lit at once on a highway, and 42-4-217 requires dimming within 500 feet of an oncoming vehicle and 200 feet when following. Off-road light bars and pods should be switched off on public roads. We wire trail lighting on its own switch for exactly that reason.
Lighting brands we carry
Diode Dynamics, Form Lighting and Rough Country are direct dealer accounts, so we can check fitment with the manufacturer and get parts in quickly. We also install Oracle Lighting, Combat Off Road, KC HiLiTES, Rigid Industries and Baja Designs, and we can source more than 130 other brands through our distributors.
Tell us your truck and where you drive at night, and we’ll match the brand and beam pattern to it instead of the biggest lumen number on the box.
How a lighting job runs
Fitment changes by model year, so call or text first. Most jobs get into the bay within about a week of parts arriving, and hours are Monday through Friday, 9 to 4, with early drop-off and late pickup available.

Lighting FAQ
I already bought lights. Will you install them?
Usually, yes. Customer-supplied lighting is billed at a higher labor rate and carries no warranty from us, and warranty claims go back to the seller you bought from. See customer-supplied parts for how our pricing compares.
Will adding lights drain my battery or overload the alternator?
LED lamps pull far less current than the halogen lamps they replace. We still add up the load before we wire anything, run each circuit through a relay and fuse, and can set trail lighting so it only powers up with the ignition on.
Are off-road light bars legal in Colorado?
Owning and mounting one is fine. Colorado limits how many bright front lamps can be lit at once on a highway (C.R.S. 42-4-219), so light bars and extra pods should stay switched off on public roads. We wire them to a separate switch.
Can you fix a previous lighting install that keeps failing?
Yes. Flickering lamps, blown fuses and corroded splices are common repairs. We trace the circuit, cut out the bad connections and rewire it with sealed connectors and a proper relay.
Do I need a new bumper to add lights?
Not always. Many trucks and Jeeps take LED fog kits in the factory pockets, and A-pillar brackets bolt on without a bumper change.

Amazing experience. I needed to improve lighting on my truck and Zach provided excellent recommendations, found all the parts online for a good price, did excellent work and all for a very reasonable price. I'm definitely coming back. Highly recommend to everyone!
Great work, great communication, professional, highly recommend. Great pricing for super quality work. Zach made the process seamless and I felt comfortable with my 4Runner in his hands. Installed SSO bumper 10k winch and light bar!
Zach and his team are nothing but stellar. They helped me a winch install, new upgraded suspension lift, and off-road lights for my Silverado. I would highly recommend them for any off-road upgrades you are looking to do for your rig.
Great job repairing my rear tire mount.
Zach did an excellent job replacing my Jeeps ball joints. Very satisfied with the joints he suggested and the work that was done.
Zach did some suspension work on my truck and it came out great, he was quick and the price was fair. Will definitely be back for more work in the future.
Zach was insanely helpful. He handled a pretty out of the box request with ease. I will recommend him to anyone in the area or passing through!
I had a great experience at Off Camber 4x4 as Zach is a true professional and pleasure to work with. He went above and beyond getting all hardware snugged up even though it wasn’t in the estimate - with being a late request made when I dropped off the truck. Additionally, Off Camber’s shop not only provided the most reasonable price out of the four estimates I received, they were the ONLY shop that recommended a follow up inspection for the type of service I had done. They installed a leveling kit, control arms, rear shocks, dual exhaust system, and a trailer receiver along with including the complementary inspection at 500 miles to make sure everything was still tight.
