- Installing 5 Rough Country Black Series LED Lights! I used ARTEC dual cube brackets for the A-Pillars, and the Rough Country JL 30" Single Row Hood Mounted LED Bar. These things put out some SERIOUS LIGHT!

Beautiful jeep
Nice lights. Like your switch solution. Neat and clean.
These lights just made you look tougher without steroids💪
Why didn’t you get the auxiliary switches?
I LOVE THE SWITCHES THAT BIG OVERHEAD SWITCH BAR DOESN'T APPEAL TO ME. GREAT JOB WILL BE FOLLOWING YOUR LEAD SOON!
That's awesome! Good job
Thanks! 🤙🏼
Clean setup man. Nice install!
Thank you!
Very nice video love the new switches.
Thanks Dave! Hope to see you in the shop with your Rubi soon 😏😏
Lookin’ great bro!! 🤙🏽
Thanks! 👻🤙🏼
Nice work! Another great video man, I hadn’t seen the rough country lights but those all look really nice.
Thanks! Love the black series!
Do you have any images of where you grabbed the connections for power and ground? Where did you mount the relays?
Hi! Super clean install! I ordered the same bar and switch to wire up in my ram. Do you remember which wires from the harness wire up to what wires in the switch pigtail?
Nice setup good job guys wish I Have a Jeep friend
Does it get in the way of opening the hood? Does it block your washer nozzles?
Explaining the installation... reason for removing the wiper etc, would be super nice. The switch stuff was pretty thorough though!. What did you use to cut the black plastic?
How have the rough country lights held up? Any yellowing in the lense, or fading on their paint?
Very nice 👍 and very bright lights Wow 😮. That’s a optimal location for those switches.
Question: If you didn’t use your own switches does the light bar and cubes come with their own switches or are the lights from the factory setup where it’s a plug and play type of connection to the auxiliary switches that are inside the Jeep? Also if someone didn’t want to cut the wires to make them shorter is that Ok ? Thanks 🙏
Nice video. Whats the thing that goes across between the wiper blades called?
Wish they made these for a jk. I’d really love to have one on my hood
LIFT IT
The grommet in the video was pushed out and you ran the wires under it. Is it still like that or did you push the grommet back into place? I ran a wire by poking a hole through the grommet with a wire hanger but it was a pain. I'm planning to run more wires through it and was wondering how you did yours.
I had a zone off-road 3” suspension on my 2000 tj... it was great for the money too bad had a cracked head 🤙🏻
Used to have a 4” rubicon express on my lj, man I miss that thing!
How much light do you lose that hits the hood ? some of has to hit the hood
Curious how just one pod on either side illuminates? The black series look sweet! Great vid
Looks good, but after watching this, glad I have the auxiliary option on mine...
How are the Rough Country lights holding up since your installation?
Nice video! I like how you take the time to make everything easier to understand! Did you ever install a 50" roof light as well?
Are U able to run 2 light bars off of 1 switch ?
How's the noise with this set-up? I'm considering doing the same thing to my JL
Did the JL mount brackets came with the lights, I ordered but don't see the bracket?
How did you get the bracket and nut to fit in the grove once I get my bracket in there’s no room for the nut to fit in the slot
Does the light bar get in the way of the windshield wiper fluid spray?
Be interested to hear your opinion on what's the wind noise like with the 30" hood light? Thnx
Honestly haven’t noticed anything yet, a few hours of highway driving and it seems pretty quite to me!
What is the dimension of just the housing from front to back of the cube lights? Thank you very much!
Yes it will you should of got on a the forum and ask people. They would have told you not a good spot to put the switch's
Homie the bracket for the 30” inch I need to by where to order?
Shoulda just added the auxiliary package👌🏾
Nice job. I really like those switches and the location you installed them.
Thanks! I was going to get the aux switches and install them but maybe later down the road!
Keep it up. The videos are great.
Thanks! 🤙🏼
I have to aux switches and wonder if it has instructions on how to wire it to my aux switches on my JLU
I literally just became 4,000th sub!
Thank you so much!!!
Can you just cut the switch that comes with it off and run them to the aux switches?
Anybody know if those cube mounts will fit the Mojave?
do you think I can install the same 30" on a jk with those hood latch brackets?
I'm not sure, you'll have to make sure the measurement between the latches are the same, and also make sure there is enough space for the bracket to be mounted!
Can I use 3”x3” led pods with this artec brackets?
If they are cube style leds yes, if they are wider than normal cube leds then no.
Where did you get the black cowl cover from?
It came like that from the factory
Guys does it make bad noise or wind noise when you exceed 50 mph like the top 52” light bar?
One question is what size is the bar?
Why didnt you use your aux switches?
Nice vid!!!! Awesome clean install! Is there a link for those sweet switches? Your Jeep is pimp!
Yes! I will include them in the description later! I forgot to put the link in last night 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️

Can someone just snag that hood light though if they just tug on it? The bracket only had slots instead of holes...
Be,
I have the same RC cube lights and Artec brackets. The Artec brackets are thicker than the bracket supplied with the RC cubes. The nut does not fit between the channels due to the Artec brackets are thicker. I see you talked about being patient, but they do not fit with the supplied screw and nut. Please explain. Did you use different nuts? And if so, did they tighten down strong enough to hold the lights in place?
I used what it came with, it tightened down enough to hold them sturdy in place, maybe you’ll have to use a different type of nut
@@benanton2619 Thanks Ben. Thats what I thought (different nut), I also thought about using a lock tight product
Any radio interference?
my JL has the for jewelry button so I don't need any of those wires used hook right up to the switches you should have got that feature it's a lot better than Ryan all the wire to the battery half the time hooking it up just go to the main auxiliary switches. Really surprised you didn't get those on there
I was going to get that option, but honestly figured I could install it later if I wanted. My shifter gets in the way of the switches anyway so I’m still deciding if I would still want to install the aux switches
You got a good-looking Jeep replace that piece with the shifters hitting and get the exhaust switches on the dash you can probably hook it up yourself. Looks so much cleaner and factory
I have the same exact setup but when installing the cube lights there is a lot of play with the ARTEC mount to the point where the lights move freely and are not secured to the mount to stay steady. Did you run into this issue as well?
That’s interesting, mine don’t have much play at all!
@@benanton2619 Would you be able to post some photos or another video showing what the Artec mount and RC cube lights look like after installed. I don't get why mine have so much play in them. Thanks!
@@benanton2619 At least a photo of what the nuts and bolts look like so I can have a better idea on what I may be doing wrong. Would be greatly appreciated, thanks again!
Dope it looks really bright . I’m guessing you are not going to fold the windshield down anymore. Did you use the main battery or the tiny hidden battery to wire your lights . I heard there is a smaller battery hidden over the passenger front wheel not exposed to the naked eye . Not joking at all ... idk just asking because it sounds interesting.
I used the main battery, I never even heard of the hidden one, I’ll check it out! But no I will not be folding the windshield down anymore. A cool feature for sure but that’s why I made the “driving with the windshield down” video before I did the hood lightbar
So I was looking all over and found where I had seen the second battery it was on Jeep informants channel it’s titled “jeep aux battery “ so I’m assuming if you have the factory aux switch you have two and if not you have only one battery maybe ? Makes sense
That could be what it is!
Would've used the auxiliary switches so i didnt have to drill holes and do away with those 2 clips , also heat shrink is a must . Outside of that looks good and im with you on the R/C stuff , lights good suspension poop lol
I mean you got a good-looking Jeep why didn't you order that feature or added on it's a lot easier to hook up to the four switches then it is running all those wires than time doing it
Those four aux switches on the dash for the factory would have saved you hours of labor
Should have got those factory auxiliary switches lol
Nah, I was going to but they are in a bad spot for me bc of the manual shift knob. Also I could always install it later if I wanted
Ben Anton... Good point didn’t even think about the stick shift lol love the videos bro keep them coming plz 🤙🏼😎
Thanks for the comment and the love 🤙🏼 I will do my best to keep posting! Let me know if there is something you want to see, or any topics you want me to talk about and I will try my best to make a video on them 👍🏼
Ben Anton idk if I’ve seen a video from you about pricing and if you got any deals or how you went about purchasing your jeep. If it’s to personal I get it I just wanted an idea for when I go buy my Jeep if they even offer discounts or deals since it’s in such high demand.
If you like to shift gears then shift gears I'll put it in D and go and now they're handing out any recalls on the transmission I haven't seen any mine's fine I have no problems I put it in drive and go. Your clutch will go out sooner or later. I've had no problems with mine. So in the video where you install the the rear cargo light you talk bad about people that install Cube lights but yet you put some on yourself. So either you do like them or you don't like them or you don't like them which one is it
You haven't made a new video
in a long time
I know! I’m working on the SEMA video right now... there was a lot to see!
Dude in your last video about that rear cargo light that you installed you trashed people for wasting money and time putting light bars on above the hood windshield or the cube lights and now you're putting them on what's up with that?
Nothing wrong with rough country lifts just sayin 🤷🏼♂️ they have a bad rep I got one this year 6in on my ram & its bad ass ride
Good video, music is ANNOYING as hell.
Not wearing a hat,.... unacceptable.
Forgive me father for I have sinned 😔
I just noticed you have a manual and you don't even have an automatic he's been all that money on that jeep and got a manual sorry but I'd rather put in D and drive then shift gears just my opinion
Every Jeep I’ve ever owned has been manual, and most every car. I personally enjoy driving standard, also there has been 3 recalls already on the new 8 speed auto since they released it, and manuals have had 0. The crawl ratio in the manuals also gets a boost from the autos 77:1 to a 84:1 because of the different gearing. I enjoy the challenge of driving manual off road, but hey... some people just like the “D” 🙃
Does the windshield washer fluid hit the light bar?
Surprisingly it doesn’t!
Ben Anton hey I notice in one of your other videos the dash one your interior lights look led did that come factory or did you put led lights in your dome area?
Factory when you get the LED package
