Orders & shipping
How long until my order ships?
Most FCKLightBars products are built to order for your vehicle, so orders typically take 7–14 business days to build and process before they ship. Orders placed after 5 PM PST, on weekends or on holidays start processing the next business day. You’ll get a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships.
Where do you ship?
We ship with UPS and USPS to the United States, Canada, Mexico, Australia and New Zealand. Shipping is calculated at checkout. International orders may owe customs duties or import taxes on arrival — those are the buyer’s responsibility. See our Shipping Policy.
Can I cancel or change my order?
It depends on how far along your build is. If production hasn’t started, cancellation is usually possible and reviewed case by case (approved cancellations carry a 35% restocking fee). Once parts are cut and wired for your vehicle, it may be too late. Email info@fcklightbars.com with your order number right away — the sooner we hear from you, the more we can do.
What is your return and exchange policy?
Because our lights are built to order, sales are final once an order ships. If you ordered the wrong size or model, we’ll exchange it with no restocking fee as long as it’s brand new and uninstalled (you cover shipping both ways). Returns for store credit or a refund are reviewed case by case and carry a 35% restocking fee. Every return or exchange needs an RMA number from us before you ship. Full details: Refund Policy.
My order arrived damaged or something is missing. What do I do?
Contact us within 5 days of delivery at info@fcklightbars.com or (833) 325-3250 with your order number and photos, and we’ll make it right.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. Eligible orders can be paid over time with Affirm at checkout — look for the Affirm option on the product page to see if you qualify.
Warranty
What does the Lifetime Warranty cover?
Our lights are covered for life against defects in materials and workmanship — LED failure, flickering, and condensation/moisture inside the light. If we confirm a defect, we repair or replace it. The Lifetime Warranty also covers our accessories, kits, harnesses and controllers. Two exceptions: powder-coat finish wear is covered for 2 years, and custom orders carry a separate 1-year limited warranty. Full terms: Warranty Information.
How do I make a warranty claim?
Call (833) 325-3250 or email info@fcklightbars.com to get an RMA number. Ship the product back with the RMA number clearly marked on the box, a copy of your invoice (proof of purchase), and a short note describing the problem. We’ll inspect it and repair or replace it.
What voids the warranty?
Opening the light or removing the bezel screws (this breaks the factory water-tight seal), improper installation or use, damage beyond normal wear and tear, repairs by an unauthorized shop, and custom paint or hardware modifications. If a light isn’t working, don’t take it apart — call us first.
Choosing the right lights
Spot, flood or combo — which beam do I need?
Spot throws a tight beam far down the road or trail. Flood spreads light wide and close — ideal for ditch lights, work lights and slow trails. Combo mixes both in one bar for all-around use. Many builds run a spot or combo bar up front with flood pods on the sides.
White or amber?
White gives the most distance and clarity on clear nights. Amber’s longer wavelength cuts through fog, snow and dust with far less glare bouncing back. Many of our pods offer an amber lens, and the Hyper Series and Dual Purpose Chase Pods switch between amber and white in one housing.
C4-Series or 4D-Optic — which light bar should I get?
Both are flagship dual-row bars with our 4D projector optics and a lifetime warranty. The C4-Series uses stronger 7W LEDs for maximum raw output (up to 70,560 lumens on the 50″) and is our first IP69-rated bar — straight housing only. The 4D-Optic Series uses OSRAM LEDs, comes in straight or curved, and goes up to 55″. If brightest wins, get the C4; if you want a curved roof bar, get the 4D-Optic.
What do IP68 and IP69 mean?
Both are waterproof ratings. IP68 means the light is dust-tight and protected against submersion. IP69 goes a step further, adding protection against high-pressure, high-temperature spray — pressure washers, race-speed debris and direct water hits. Our C4-Series bars, rock light kits, wheel lights and underglow strips are IP69 rated.
Which pods should I use for ditch lights or fog lights?
For ditch lights, most customers run P-4 or P-3 cube pods in a flood beam. For fog lights, P-4 pods with an amber lens are the pick — or run Dual Purpose Chase Pods for solid white and amber at the push of a button. Every vehicle bracket page lists the pods that fit it.
What is a chase light?
A chase light mounts on the rear of a desert or dune vehicle so the rigs behind you can track you through the dust. Our Dual Purpose Chase Pods and Dual Purpose Chase Bar have four modes — white, white strobe, amber and amber strobe — and they aren’t just for the rear: they’re commonly run forward-facing in bumpers, grilles and roof racks as fog and ditch lights. The pods are also available as a flush-mount.
Interior lighting
How many stars do I need in my starlight headliner?
Kits come in 500, 1,000, 1,500, 2,000, 2,500 and 3,000 stars, and kits can be synced together for bigger builds. It comes down to the look you want: more stars give the dense galaxy effect; fewer give a cleaner, subtler sky. Every kit is custom-made, and one of our reps contacts you before your kit is built to verify sizing and fitment. Not sure? Call us and we’ll size it with you.
Will the fiber optics turn yellow or brittle?
No. Our fibers are a UV-coated polymer that won’t oxidize, yellow or turn brittle over time, with 99.8% optical clarity. We use our own blend of fiber diameters so stars vary naturally in size for the true Rolls-Royce look.
Can I add shooting stars?
Yes. The Shooting Star Headliner Kit adds streaking meteors with adjustable speed, intensity and fire rate. Pair it with a Starlight Headliner Kit for the full galaxy effect.
Which vehicles do your ambient lighting kits fit?
We make complete ambient kits for Tesla (Model 3, Model Y, Model S, Model X and Cybertruck), trucks & SUVs and cars. Each lights the dash, console, doors, footwells and more, with custom colors, music sync and multiple modes from the mobile app or included remote.
Is it hard to install interior lighting?
Ambient kits use a plug-and-play wiring harness. A starlight headliner is a bigger job because the headliner comes down so the fibers can be placed, so many customers have a trim or audio shop do the install. Call us and we’ll walk you through what your vehicle needs.
Rock lights, underglow & wheel lights
How many rock lights do I need?
4–8 lights cover the wheel wells on most trucks. 12–16 give full underbody glow, and 24–40 are for show builds and big rigs. Kits come in 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32 and 40 lights.
How do I control RGB rock lights, underglow and wheel lights?
From your phone over Bluetooth — colors, brightness and modes on iPhone or Android. Want white only? Our Pure White Rock Lights and Pure White Wheel Lights give a true 6000K white with no mixed hues.
How are wheel lights sized?
Every set is built to order for your wheel and rotor size, in single, dual, triple or quad rows (dual row is recommended for larger, wider wheels). The standard leads fit most vehicles; lifted trucks and long wheelbases may need 3 ft extensions. Call us if you’re unsure.
Is underglow street legal?
Laws on underglow, colored lights and flashing lights vary by state and country. Check your local laws before running them on the road — many customers use color modes for shows, off-road and parked display.
Installation & wiring
Do lights come with a wiring harness?
Light bars and pods come with mounting brackets and hardware; the harness is sold separately so you can pick the right setup. The Single Harness runs one light and the Dual Harness runs two lights from one switch — both include a waterproof switch, relay and fuse. Running a full build? The Wireless 6-Switch Control Panel controls up to six accessories with no drilling and no wires through the firewall.
What do vehicle kits and brackets include?
Our vehicle-specific brackets are CNC-cut steel and powder coated, they bolt on with the hardware included, and they’re backed by our full lifetime warranty. Unless a listing says otherwise, lights are sold separately so you can choose your pods or bar — each bracket page lists the lights that fit. See all vehicle kits.
What voltage do your lights run on?
Our lights run on DC power — most on 10–30V DC, so they work on 12V and 24V systems. Never connect them to a wall outlet or an AC source; it can permanently damage the light.
My light works on the battery but is dim with a long wire run. Why?
The wire is too small for the distance. Undersized wire drops voltage before it reaches the light. Use a heavier gauge on long runs, or use one of our harnesses, which are sized for the job.
My light isn’t working. What should I check?
Connect the light directly to a fully charged battery. If it works, the problem is between the battery and the light — check the fuse, relay, switch, wire gauge and ground connection. If it still doesn’t work, don’t open it; call (833) 325-3250 and we’ll help.
Where should I mount the relay?
Somewhere dry and protected, away from exhaust and engine heat. If you’re running several accessories, the Wireless Control Panel’s sealed aluminum module keeps every relay and fuse in one place.
Can I mount my light bar vertically?
Our included brackets are designed and tested for horizontal mounting. Mounting vertically can stress the bracket and cause it to fail early.
Dealers, sponsorship & custom builds
How do I become an FCKLightBars dealer?
Shops, installers and businesses can apply through our Authorized Dealer Application. Approved dealers get our dealer pricing structure, product and install support, and marketing assets.
How does the sponsorship program work?
Send us your vehicle, build photos and socials through the Sponsorship Application. Our team reviews every application, and approved builds get a Sponsor ID for their orders.
Do you build custom headlights and taillights?
Yes — see Custom Headlights & Taillights or call us to talk through your build.
