Quadratec J5 Lightbar Review and Install

- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- The main feature of most light bars can’t be used on public roads, however the all-new 270 watt, patent pending, J5 LED Light Bar features five integrated amber clearance cab lights that are illuminated by your parking light switch. With the optional wiring and mount kit, you can have the J5 set up and running fast on your JK Wrangler! Order your J5 Lightbar here: www.quadratec.c...
I love the look of this bar, but I think it would be amazing to add a left and right blinker option to the outside halos.
That daystar lower switch panel won't work with manual Jeeps, the shift boot will turn your switches off. Just FYI. I learned that lesson the hard way and went with the daystar A pillar switch panel. I like it a lot better, too.
I loved these lights until 4 of the lights stopped working yesterday 1.4 years of ownership
Good news! This has a 3 year warranty
Cool concept. I also love that you guys made the pigtail off the lightbar long enough to reach under the cowl. This is something the Chinese have not been able to figure out yet. The routing of the leads under the mounting plates is genius too. :)
Called up Customer service about having this light bar and the Quadratec folding mirrors. Was told a couple months or so, meaning Spring 2017.
You guy's did a better job of routing the wiring than most installs I have watched but there is still no good way to transition into the engine bay without the wire being exposed at some point.
Looks like the price is $399 for just the lightbar,but $ $599 for the bar and mounts for 07-17 JK.
My mall has a great lighting. I'm good.
You guys should make a kit that fits XJ's.
OutJeeping do they not make one for xjs?
we sure do: www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/j5-led-light-bar-amber-clearance-cab-lights-84-01-jeep-cherokee-xj

Does it come with a wire color code diagram for other vehicle mounting options like a Chevrolet?
Love it! You guys have to make one for the HD Rams. I would buy it immediately! Or a curved universal version...
I'm sad that you didn't need a step ladder to install all it. That jeep needs bigger shoes.
Do you need to connect the entire light harness for the marker lights to work or will they work with just plugging the fuse into the running light slot?
So you have to put black metal/plastic on the outside of the Jeep??? Seems like there has to be away without adding that
I really like the idea of this just wish you made a harness for hummer h3 and not just keep
If I have a switch panel do I need to just strip the original power wire and run it into my board?
AFTER ALL THAT WORK WASNT THERE A BETTER WAY TO HIDE THAT BLACK WIRE AT THE BOTTOM? I HATE EXPOSED WIRES
I would like for it to sit lower, with that mount it would tear off going in the garage!
What garage are ypou parking in!?
Can anyone attest to the wind noise/whistling with the product?
That is such a cool concept! Do you sell the mounting brackets separate from the lightbar for people who already have lightbars?
We do: www.quadratec.com/products/12005_8121_07.htm?
How far ahead of the car do they light the road up ? Most of these light bars seem to be ornaments. I go off-roading and need lights that light up the woods not the hood of the jeep .
We have another video with that shot included: ua-cam.com/video/yrUibrL8zUw/v-deo.html
They dont light up the road, so an answer doesnt matter. And, apparently you dont know what reflectors do.
Love this light bar. I installed it on my 2013 JK. Wish they made a lens cover for it though.
Does it make wind noise at all?
How did you connect your running lights?
Is it legal in CA? Daytime uncovered and nighttime uncovered? Do you have a cover for it? What shall I say if I get pulled over?
Nice video. Is there a lot of wind noise? It does look pretty good. I like that switch panel too. Thanks.
I just spoke to the owner of this Jeep, and he said he doesn't hear much noise at all. "slight wind resistance, but no whistling"
I have a very loud whistle, looking for a fix somewhere.
Can it be ran with an overhead switch panel?
I installed these n loved it but i can't seem to find out how to connect the running lights to work
Help??
Depending on which vehicle you are putting it in, page 5 or 6 of the instruction manual shows how to wire them up: www.quadratec.com/sites/default/files/installation_instructions/J5_LED_LIGHTBAR_97109_1023_WEB.pdf
Can I get the light bar without the mounting brackets ?
You sure can!

I just installed the same light bar on my 2015 jk. The only issue is the white led's are not turning on, the side markers do turn on. I don't know what is wrong , I used Quadratec's video and instructions and i have no idea what is the problem. I need some help
Please give our customer service guys a call so they can help you through your problem! 1-800-743-4927
Good video, BUT I find the wires running from the bar to the side-mounts and at the base of the windshield both sides quite ugly and unfinished! It looks cheap and should be hidden...
Quickly wanted to get my 2 cents in, I bought this product about a week ago. I installed it today, and after everything was complete and turned on. 3 of my led lights were out. Any idea on what I should do??
please give our customer service dept. a call and we can take care of that for you. 1-800-745-2348
So, the question I have is, I roll in a 2011 Super Duty. Is there a mounting kit for my truck?
We do sell the lightbar separately, but we do not have mounts specifically for the Superduty, but you can use any lightbar mount that works with a lightbar between 50.75” - 53.5” wide. www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/j5-led-light-bar-amber-clearance-cab-lights?
What if you have a snorkel installed? Say a rugged ridge or a AEV or red rock or ARB?
It all depends on the snorkel and how it mounts to the jeep.
Do you sell the brackets to keep that light bar lined up with the top of the windshield, I know if it the bar mount higher then the windshield its going to make noise when you going down the road,, Also I have 2 Pods on each side. do you guys sell light bar Brackets that have mounts for pod lights?
Can it fit my Jeep Wrangler YJ 95?
do you have them that fit the 87 Jeep Wrangler YJ
The lightbar can be purchased without the brackets here by using the drop down: www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/j5-led-light-bar-amber-clearance-cab-lights?
and then we have a bracket from Poison spyder for the YJ: www.quadratec.com/p/poison-spyder/50-led-light-bar-mount-76-95-jeep-cj-5-cj-7-cj-8-scrambler-wrangler-yj?
do you have anything like this for the wj jeep?
The light bar will work, however i am not familiar with any light bar brackets for the WJ.
great idea, love the drls and the fuse tap. this looks a lot thinner (shorter) than a standard dual row led bar - is it quiet on the freeway?
I just spoke to the owner of this Jeep, and he said he doesn't hear much
noise at all. "slight wind resistance, but no whistling"
Rubicon Unlimited you would think one company would make a rounded front plastic, clear cover that popped on and was less resistant and quiet.
Are the marker lights legal in MA?
Looks like the height clearance is shot by 1" - WOW what will you ever do with an extra inch!?!? Time get a new garage door or grind the floor down one inch. WHAT!?
do you make these for Chevrolet/GMC or Ford trucks??
These can be used on any vehicle. the only thing you would need to do differently is splice into your running light wires to light up the ambers. We don't have any light bar mounts for those trucks but they are out there on the market.
so u got the wiring harness for a 2005 gmc sierra 3500?? if so very interested in this bar!!
The standard harness will work just fine, as it's not vehicle specific. But like I said, you would need to figure out how to splice into your running light circuit for the ambers. But we do not have a specific harness for a GMC
can u get me a link for both??
www.quadratec.com/p/quadratec/j5-led-light-bar-amber-clearance-cab-lights? the wiring harness is included.
how much height does this add to the Jeep? I have garage clearance concerns.
This setup adds less than an inch to the top of the Jeep.
I want this for my super duty!
How noisy is this light bar?
new install on my 2019 Shraha, some wind nosie, but a loud notise from the cooling fins. Ordered a AEROTEC cover, that fixed it on my last one.
those a-pillar bolts on my TJ cant be unscrewed, the torx pattern is all gummed up. from the ones that i could remove, there is a TON of threadlocker on them. do you guys have anything that could help/what do you recommend? i dont really wanna go carbide...
Usually if you use a torx socket and give it a hit with a hammer to get it in there you can get them off, it will chip up the paint, but you should be able to get them off with that and a breaker bar.
Quadratec I've used an impact driver (the ones you whack with a hammer) to try and break them loose after they were stripped, will that not do the same thing?
We just use the hammer to set the torx bit (and bust off the paint really) but them an air impact or a long breaker bar.
Will you be making a JL mount?
Of course!
Quadratec any idea when it will be out?
We don't have an ETA yet. but I'd imagine we will have something for sale very soon.
Quadratec awesome, thanks!
Horrible Jeep color
