Off-Road Lighting & Electrical Experts Since 2013
Off-Road Lighting & Electrical in Denver
What We Install
Light bars, driving pods, fog light upgrades, rock lights, ditch lights, interior switch panels, auxiliary power management systems, dual battery setups, on-board air compressor installs, and winch wiring. If it draws power or lights the way, we handle it.
The difference between a good lighting install and a bad one comes down to wiring. Bolting a light bar to the roof or mounting pods on a bumper is the easy part. Running clean, properly fused wiring with solid grounds, relay triggers, and a switch panel that actually makes sense to use is where the real work happens. Every install we do is built to last, not zip-tied together and crammed behind the dash.
We also install auxiliary power management systems for overland trucks that run winches, fridges, compressors, and communication equipment. When your electrical demands go beyond what the factory system was designed for, a proper power management setup keeps everything running without draining your starting battery or frying a fuse panel.
We are located at 930 W Mississippi Ave in Denver and serve the entire metro area, including Lakewood, Englewood, Littleton, Aurora, Arvada, and Boulder.
Built for Every Off-Road Platform
Tacoma. 4Runner. Tundra. Ford Raptor. Bronco. Wrangler. Colorado ZR2. Ram. We install lighting and electrical across all of them.
Every platform has different mounting points, factory wiring, and available space behind the dash. A Tacoma ditch light install is a different job than mounting pods on a Bronco. A dual battery system in a Tundra has different space constraints than one in a Wrangler. We have been doing these installs since 2013 and know where things fit, how factory harnesses route, and how to integrate aftermarket electrical without creating problems down the road.
If your vehicle goes off-road, we can light it up and wire it right.

Common Questions About Off-Road Lighting & Electrical
Answers to what customers ask us most about lighting installs, wiring, and electrical upgrades.
Lighting
Can you upgrade my factory fog lights?
Yes. We replace factory fog lights with high-output LED pods from Baja Designs, Diode Dynamics, and other brands. These bolt into your factory fog light location and give you dramatically better output without modifying the bumper. For most Toyota, Ford, and Jeep platforms, we have direct-fit kits that look factory and perform like dedicated off-road lights.
How much power do I need for a light bar?
It depends on the size of the bar, but most light bars draw between 10 and 30 amps. Your factory alternator and wiring can handle a single bar with a proper relay and fuse setup. If you are stacking multiple bars, pods, rock lights, and other accessories, we may recommend a higher-output alternator or a power management system to keep everything running clean. We will spec the full electrical load before we start any install.
Can you install lights I already bought?
Absolutely. Bring in what you have and we will get it installed with clean wiring, proper fusing, and a switch setup that makes sense. We warranty our labor regardless of where the parts came from.
Electrical Systems
Do I need a switch panel?
If you have more than two or three accessories, a switch panel makes life a lot easier. Instead of toggle switches drilled into random spots on your dash, a switch panel gives you a clean, centralized location to control everything. Systems like the sPOD BantamX and Switch-Pros also include built-in power distribution, so your wiring is cleaner and your accessories are properly protected. For serious builds with lights, a compressor, a winch, and accessory power, a switch panel is one of the best quality-of-life upgrades you can do.
Do I need a dual battery system?
If you run accessories that draw power while the engine is off, like a fridge, radio equipment, or camp lighting, a dual battery system protects your starting battery from being drained. The system isolates your auxiliary battery so your accessories can run without affecting your ability to start the truck. If you only use accessories while driving, your factory single battery setup is probably fine. We will look at your power needs and let you know if a dual battery makes sense for your build.
