Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to teach such a thing. I just watched, and now I am confident that I can install my own when it arrives vs having to find a shop to do it. Thanks again.
Jocquell Alexander Thanks for your comment! I am very happy that you are able to take something away from the video and now have the confidence to do your own install! Thanks for the encouragement and thanks for watching!
great video.my wife wants that lite bar on her new jeep. one word of advise, your last step when you wire tied everything, instead of tying up tight in a figure 8 pattern, wrap and tie excess wire in a circle.over time the current could short out and cause an engine fire.I am a firefighter and have been for almost 20 years.same principal as wrapping alight cord around the base of a lamp and plugin it in.
Got my wiring kit, light bar, and mounting brackets in today, have been searching all day how to install, best video I've seen thus far! I will definitely use this video tomorrow! Thanks for the step by step!
+Brandon Miller Thanks a lot for the positive feedback! I try to make interesting tutorials on all the Jeep modifications I do to my own Jeep. I am glad you found it helpful! Be sure to subscribe for more! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video. Wasn't quite sure how to wire this under the hood and where to feed through the cab of the jeep. Video was very helpful as my light bar came with no instructions from the manufacturer of vendor. Installing today, this helps a great deal.
I installed a 50" light bar on my wife's jeep. I followed your video and the only thing I would have liked to see was the installation of the on/off switch. other than that, this video was very helpful. great job
Thank you. I just got the light bar and wanted to see how much work and what was involved. Excellent info. I was gonna mention the sound quality, but you explained that at the end... lol keep up the good work brother!
Your video really helped me out a ton. I was able to do the install on my own just needed help putting the actual light bar on. Can't wait for my next project. New bumpers! I'll keep watching.
I just saw your video. I purchased one of those $200 light bars and was surprised when I received a newer bar (where the power cable is routed towards the rear). In no way will it interfere with the light bar mount. I am having the light bar painted, like you did, for that finished touch! I am also getting tabs welded on the posts for pillar lights first. Nice demo, keep it up!
Thanks for the comment! Barry Grauel No way, that is awesome! Am glad you were able to take advantage of that great sale price plus you received the newer light bar! Cant do better than that! Please send me a photo of how it turns out I would love to see. Also, I am not sure what you mean by "getting tabs welded on the posts for pillar lights first"? Thanks for your encouragement! I just purchased and installed a gibson exhaust system, I will be bringing you that video shortly. Feel free to subscribe to stay tune. Thanks
AdventureDex I will get some photos of the end result! I currently have some KC Hilites mounted on the lower part of the wind shield. I am having similar tabs welded onto these LED Light bar mounts so I can keep those lights at the base of the wind shield. I actually purchased the LED replacement bulbs for the 130W spot beams I use now. Also, a few months ago I updated my exhaust with a Borla system...very nice upgrade. I can't wait to see your new exhaust system on video! Keep Jeeping it up!
Barry Grauel Gotcha! Sounds awesome! I love the new exhaust system. Great sound, better gas milage and cool looks! Video coming soon.Thanks again for your encouragement!
Awesome video. You made the installation of light bar look so easy and to the point. I receive my light bar tomorrow sometime. Looking forward to installing it on my truck. Thanks man.
Just got my new wrangler the other day, been doing lots of research on install's and you are the man thanks a lot i appreciate you taking the time to make these videos! #jeeplife
great video bro!!! just wondering if you could flip the light bar around so the wire would be on the passenger side and looks like it would clear the bracket.
+Rob Vaz Thanks a lot bro! Yes, it doesn't matter which side you wire the light on both brackets are the same. The only factors to keep in mind are the battery is on one side and the drivers location is on the other. So check your wiring harness before you install your light bar! Thanks for watching!
Great video man I am getting a jeep soon and immediately start upgrading it and this really helps me out thank you and you got yourself a subscriber!!!
Thanks for the comment! Richard Pimentel Congrats on soon getting a Jeep! Its an awesome vehicle, you're gonna love it! Thanks for watching! Am glad that these video can help you on customizing your Jeep in the future! Thanks again.
First of all thank you for the video, i watched it only once and was able to install my light bar... How do we get the wind noise out .... thank you in advance
+Looney Toons Thanks a lot bro! Am glad that this video helped you a lot! There are only 2 ways to fix the wind noise... Get BIG noisy tires or turn up the music LOL Hope this helps! #jeeplife Thanks for watching!
Great video! Just ordered a 50 inch bar off some shady instagram add. Took forever and when I did get it they shipped me a 52 inch bar with 50 inch brackets. Got in touch with them to send me the right brackets but they sent me a 2nd whole bar that fits. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks, best vid I watched today #jeeplife
+Dan Clay Thanks alot for the comment and positive feedback bro! I greatly appreciate it! It is never the best route to order off shady Instagram ad's but at least you got straight. I always suggest to use the links in the descriptions of my videos that way you know you are ordering the EXACT same item that you seem in the video. Hope that helps! Thanks again for watching! #jeepwave
+That Guy Thanks for the comment! I still have it on the Jeep and its still working 100% fine! I would definitely recommend it, check the link in the description! Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for the video, it was very helpful! Quick question though, I have a curved 50" light bar from an old truck I am wanting to put on my new jeep, would it fit on a bracket such as yours?
Nice vid man. I live by a 4 Wheel Parts store and was going to have them install my kit when I buy it. I'll def use this video and tackle it myself instead. Cheers!
AdventureDex When you hid the wiring under the drivers side mount and tightened it, did it at all pinch the wiring or is it alright to let it pinch a little bit? Thanks real nice step by step way of showing us how to install!
+vincentadivari Sorry for the delayed response, Yes you will have to maneuver the wire around until it fits. It can be frustrating but at the right spot it should fit properly. Thanks for watching!
Great video bud. I wish I found this sooner as the Rough Country discontinued light bar is no longer on Amazon.... I can't spend $500 on a light bar, so I may go with one of the cheapo ones on Amazon. They have pretty decent reviews and quite honestly, they all look the same. But thank you for video. You did a great job of hiding the wire and exceptional work!.
Thanks for the comment Diesel Mike Yeah, its a bummer that they only had a limited amount of the $200 light bar it was a steal of a deal! As for choosing a cheaper option, I have a friend who works for an LED light company and can probably hook you up with a light bar at a good price! As far as the difference in quality between the big name brands and the new upcoming LED companies is really only the name. Pretty much all are made in China lol. Email "sales@mail.Oslamp.com" ask for "Zac" and tell them "AdventureDex from youtube" sent you and they will definitely take care of you! Thanks for watching! Let me know how it goes!
rhsandne71 Thanks for your comment! Yes, you could do that but the mounts are a very heavy duty steel and I do not have the proper tools. Plus, you might run into a rusting problem if you cut it and do not paint and seal properly. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
I must say first off bro get some open end wrenches for your battery connection. lol I was waiting to see how you got that wire harness under the body near the drivers side mount. Where you put the wire into the engine compartment. Other than that it looks cool.
+thorntonater Thanks a lot bro. Sometimes you just gotta use the tools that are laying around the garage! All the wires are ran through the firewall under the drivers side dash. Thanks for watching!
Once you unscrew those 2 bolts no the panel above the wipers, it will lift up and you can get the wire into the engine compartment. Hopefully that makes sense.
Dex - another great video - where did you get the WHITE windshield mounts? I saw that you them painted - how much did they charge you to paint match? Done @ a body shop?? Picked up a $60 Auxbeam 50 inch in white as holiday special for my white 2017 JKU.
I think im a year too late on the discontinued light bar.. haha. but im about to order it off the RC site anyways. Thanks for the vid, gonna help out with my install!
RyeinBee Haha yeah a little late but better late than never! You should check out there products on Amazon if you search for the RC store thats where they put their deals! (follow the links in the description) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for your comment Alan Shapiro I had to get the windshield mounts painted by a local auto body shop. I wanted them to color match my smooth gloss paint on the Jeep so they sanded, primed and painted them. It cost me $30 dollars per mount. The $60 dollars they charged me was well worth the outcome, I love how they look when they are color-matched. You can find the exact color of your jeep on the inside of the drivers door! Hope that helps, feel free to ask if you have any other questions! Thanks for watching!
Hi. I'm looking at the same light bar. I believe it's also branded "Cree" and others depending on the seller. How are you liking it so far? How does it perform in wet weather, any leaks or lens fog?
Cowboy Boots Thanks for the comment! This is my second LED "Cree" Light Bar from Rough Country and I am very pleased with their product. I was lucky to be able to purchase this Light bar discounted but its worth every penny! I have had zero issues with wet weather, there are no signs of leaking or fog on the lens. The only complaint I have is that there is a minor whistle at speeds over 40+ MPH but besides that I would highly recommend because this light bar is super bright and build very well! Feel free to subscribe and you will receive a notification when I post the review video on the Light bar. Thanks
Thanks for the comment @Dylan Hutcheson I just got a curved 50in in the mail and am planning on bring you a video shortly! It will defiantly fit, the only thing I can suggest it possibly getting 2 rubber bumpers for the inside of the brackets. I will show all of this in detail in the video! Thanks for watching! Stay tune!
+Rick Glover Thanks for the comment bro! Am glad you found it very informative! Let me know if you have any questions about the installation! Thanks for watching!
That's awesome! I'm getting a ton of stuff done to my jeep in the next month. I just bought a 2015 jeep rubicon! I'm so excited! How do I find the light bar for $200? I'm looking in the description. By the way, keep the videos coming.
+footballzay59 Thanks for the comment! Congrats on your new Jeep! Welcome to the Club! The $200 light bar unfortunately was a limited deal that i found and shared with my subscribers! However if you wana get some awesome light bars which are affordable check out Auxbeam! I really like there products! Here is the link to their Amazon store! amzn.to/1PpER97 Thanks for watching!
+James M Thanks a lot for the positivity James! There is some wind noise but only at speeds of 35mph +. I have a hardtop so it doesn't bother me at all. Thanks for watching!
+secomejia12 Thanks for the comment! Congrats on your new jeep! Since the release of the video, they sold out and now are back to the regular price! Sorry! Thanks for watching! #jeepwave
+Brandon Ambrosino Thanks a lot Brandon! There are several firewall holes that can be used to access the engine bay from the interior. You should also check the passenger side footwell. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! #jeepwave
Great video. One quick question. When you passed the wire underneath the support bar on the driver side did it affect the way the support bar fitted on the jeep? did it squeeze the wire? Did it end up changing the allignment of the bar to the light is directed more to the right of the vehicule?
+eric Trudel Thanks for the comment. I am assuming you are talking about the 50" windshield brackets. Those are made to have a wire run down the inside of them between the body of the Jeep and the bracket. It is a tight squeeze and you do have to be patient because it can be frustrating to get it perfect but it will fit if you take your time. I have not noticed any side efforts from running the wires this way. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Great thanks for the info! I was reading the manuals and I was not aware the brackets had a special space to run the wire. Thanks for the response and have fun with your jeep!
Thanks Brandon! I am thinking of doing a video on the light bar noise but the best and most effective was of totally eliminating the wind noise is taking off the light bar! LOL thanks for watching!
+Carlos Hernandez Thanks for the positive feedback! Be sure to use the link in the description to get the exact light bar seen in the video! Good luck with your installation! Thanks for watching!
In my second firewall I believe there is a clutch pipe or something like that , because my jeep is a stick shift . Is there any way to work around that ?
Drew Trice There should be enough room to squeeze your cables through there otherwise there should be a second firewall plug higher up which you can located form inside the engine bay. If you make a small slit in the firewall it should give you extra space without compromising its strength. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Nice video, what steps did you exactly take to paint the mounting bracket. What type of paint and or primers did you use. Would you recommend painting silver for a silver jeep with the fenders and bumpers that are black. Thanks ahead of time.
+Reinier Cruz Thanks for the comment Reinier! I actually got mine painted at a local body shop. Because the piece were so small they only charged like $20... I like to color match but its totally up to you. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the comment Colin! Pinching can be a problem but it can be avoided by making sure the wires are not in the way of anything. I have not have any issues. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
So... if you're looking at a used JK, and it already has one of these monstrosities on it, how bad is the windshield frame and hinge going to be if you try to remove it?
Is there a way to install the led light bar without that white part you already had? If there is, where i should pass the wires? Great video, tks a lot!
Thanks for the suggestion! I am planning on doing an updated lighter installation video! My video quality has drastically increased since this video and I believe it is time for an update! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the tips. Buying mine tomorrow but it only comes in a rough flat black. Would like to make it glossy. Some have suggested Plasti Dip. Don't know if that will make it glossy though. I live in Dubai and am sometimes limited to what I can find out here to my taste... Any suggestions? Did you order yours white to match your JK or did you paint them?
+Jose Rodriguez Thanks of the comment bro! My brackets came in a textured black finish and I also wanted to change the color of the brackets to match my Jeep. I took the brackets to a local auto shop and asked them to sand them down a little bit and spray them with auto paint to match my white Jeep. They did it and charged me $60 for both sides. It shouldn't be too hard to find someone who could paint them for you! I hope that helps! Be sure to use the links in the description for exact products seen in this video. Thanks for watching!
+Philip Haigh Thanks for the question! You don't have to drill a hole, every Jeep has a firewall plug. It might be relocated on the 2016 willy but it has to be there. It is the same hole that the factory used to get wires from the engine compartment to the interior. The best advise I can give you is use a flashlight and look for a rubber grommet on the firewall. If the hole is too small you can cut a slit in it to fit more wires through it. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
now if you had the factory aux switches already installed what would you do with the on off switch that comes with it? would you leave it in the on position and hide it under the dash or remove it? I want to turn it on and off with the aux switches. How long did the light bar last? trying to decide which to get with about $400 Thanks so much.
The light bar can still be turned on when the car is off right? If so, is there a way to wire it so it only turns on when the car is on in the ignition or run position? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
+DWall28 thanks for the comment! This is a very popular question! There is some wind noise but it's not that bad! The noise doesn't outweigh the functionality! Thanks for watching!
Depends on bar and mounts. Have had 2 bars and neither whistled on a soft top or hard. But door trim on bottom fins will resolve if you do have whistle
nice jeep man, been really wanting a light bar for my 2008 Jeep Wrangler just don't know where to look for great quality without breaking the bank. #JeepLife
I'm planning to buy an 50" led bar for my truck and a pair of small fog lights also. my question is can a wiring harness support both led bars or ill have to buy each led bar the 50" and the fog lights each wiring harness?
Rey Martinez Thanks for the comment and question! It all depends on how you want them to be controlled. The easiest way to wire them, would be to get 2 separate wiring harnesses for like $15 and they come with the relay, fuse and switch all pre-wired. Run them to the battery and each light and your good to go. So you will have a serape switch for those light. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Are you having any whistling on your light bar? I installed one on my Jeep and it’s making a whistling noise and I’ve tried different ways to get rid of it and nothing has fully worked. I’ve tried some trim and I’ve order 3 different brands of silencers for light bars and nothing has worked. If your light bar whistles what do you do to get rid of it?
Thanks for the comment joshf 22 The wire harness (switch) that came with this LED light had an adhesive sticker on the back of it. I ran that switch from the wire harness through the firewall which is located under the drivers dash (at the top left) and then I ran the wire up behind the steering column and out through the side of the steering wheel and then just stuck it to the side of the steering wheel. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the comment Ray! There will also be wind noise with light bars but I feel that the functionality and looks out weigh the noise. For me it is not bad because I have a hardtop. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Ok, so I'm installing my Rough Country windshield light bar brackets and Rough Country light bar....my concern is tucking the light bar cable behind the driver side light bracket....doesn't it leave a big gap between the bracket and pillar? ...AND couldn't tightening the bracket down with light bar power cable be damaged when tightened? What about light pattern being more to the right (passenger side) since the bracket would stick out more in the driver side because of the power cable.
That is strange, I never had a problem tucking the cable behind the bracket. If there isn’t enough room just run the wire down the side. Hope that helps thanks for watching
+PICUDOtheFIRST Thanks for the positive feedback. You can use the OEM T screws, the brackets don't come with any. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
The installation of the light bar was explained fully and concisely. Excellent instructions.
Thanks for the positive feedback Paul! I am glad you found my video helpful! Don't forget to sub! #jeepwave
Agreed, Thank you for showing the wiring aspect. Saw a few different ways, just good for other ideas TBH 👌🏼
Just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to teach such a thing. I just watched, and now I am confident that I can install my own when it arrives vs having to find a shop to do it. Thanks again.

+mustang774 Thanks a lot for the positive feedback! I greatly appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Awesome video thanks for the help
Thanks Jason!
Very nice install tutorial!! What if you ground or drilled out a circle in the mount for the metal piece that sticks out the side?
rhsandne71 Thanks for your comment! Yes, you could do that but the mounts are a very heavy duty steel and I do not have the proper tools. Plus, you might run into a rusting problem if you cut it and do not paint and seal properly. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
you're doing such an awesome work
Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
I must say first off bro get some open end wrenches for your battery connection. lol I was waiting to see how you got that wire harness under the body near the drivers side mount. Where you put the wire into the engine compartment. Other than that it looks cool.
+thorntonater Thanks a lot bro. Sometimes you just gotta use the tools that are laying around the garage! All the wires are ran through the firewall under the drivers side dash. Thanks for watching!
at 11 min 35 seconds you put wire under fender upper wall near the wiper. how did the wire harness get past there. You kinda skipped that process.
Once you unscrew those 2 bolts no the panel above the wipers, it will lift up and you can get the wire into the engine compartment. Hopefully that makes sense.
Thanks for the vid man i reference it a couple times installing mine
Thanks Kyle! I appreciate the support 🙏🏼
+AdventureDex , doesn't putting the wire under the bracket make it not as sturdy or smash the wire
+HLGLAD Thanks for the comment. The bracket has space for the wire. It doesn't interfere with the bracket fitment. Thanks for watching!
Dex - another great video - where did you get the WHITE windshield mounts? I saw that you them painted - how much did they charge you to paint match? Done @ a body shop?? Picked up a $60 Auxbeam 50 inch in white as holiday special for my white 2017 JKU.
Thanks for the comment! I got them painted at a local body shop! Here is the link for the brackets! goo.gl/btUu3p Thanks for watching!
Thank you - for a very well and easy step by step explanation ...
I think im a year too late on the discontinued light bar.. haha. but im about to order it off the RC site anyways. Thanks for the vid, gonna help out with my install!
RyeinBee Haha yeah a little late but better late than never! You should check out there products on Amazon if you search for the RC store thats where they put their deals! (follow the links in the description) Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. Quick question, how much they charged for painting the arms? So I can have an idea. Nice video.
Thanks for your comment Alan Shapiro I had to get the windshield mounts painted by a local auto body shop. I wanted them to color match my smooth gloss paint on the Jeep so they sanded, primed and painted them. It cost me $30 dollars per mount. The $60 dollars they charged me was well worth the outcome, I love how they look when they are color-matched. You can find the exact color of your jeep on the inside of the drivers door! Hope that helps, feel free to ask if you have any other questions! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the reply.
Alan Perez No Problem! Thanks again for watching!
Hi. I'm looking at the same light bar. I believe it's also branded "Cree" and others depending on the seller. How are you liking it so far? How does it perform in wet weather, any leaks or lens fog?
Cowboy Boots Thanks for the comment! This is my second LED "Cree" Light Bar from Rough Country and I am very pleased with their product. I was lucky to be able to purchase this Light bar discounted but its worth every penny! I have had zero issues with wet weather, there are no signs of leaking or fog on the lens. The only complaint I have is that there is a minor whistle at speeds over 40+ MPH but besides that I would highly recommend because this light bar is super bright and build very well! Feel free to subscribe and you will receive a notification when I post the review video on the Light bar. Thanks
Thanks for the comment @Dylan Hutcheson I just got a curved 50in in the mail and am planning on bring you a video shortly! It will defiantly fit, the only thing I can suggest it possibly getting 2 rubber bumpers for the inside of the brackets. I will show all of this in detail in the video! Thanks for watching! Stay tune!
I have a white jeep just like yours I'm having trouble finding the brackets for the light bar in the white color
Your videos are awesome- thanks for the help!
Thanks Ed! I appreciate the support!
Looks damn good. very informative video. I have the same bar on the way. looking forward to the install now.
+Rick Glover Thanks for the comment bro! Am glad you found it very informative! Let me know if you have any questions about the installation! Thanks for watching!
Nice video man i love the jeep looks awesome. Just wondering if you could put a link for this light bar and the windshield brackets. Thanks man!
+Kristopher Barwick Thanks a lot Kristopher! For sure! Here are the links you need! amzn.to/20FLf7d & amzn.to/1Q3NtSS Thanks for watching! #jeepwave
That's awesome! I'm getting a ton of stuff done to my jeep in the next month. I just bought a 2015 jeep rubicon! I'm so excited! How do I find the light bar for $200? I'm looking in the description. By the way, keep the videos coming.
+footballzay59 Thanks for the comment! Congrats on your new Jeep! Welcome to the Club! The $200 light bar unfortunately was a limited deal that i found and shared with my subscribers! However if you wana get some awesome light bars which are affordable check out Auxbeam! I really like there products! Here is the link to their Amazon store! amzn.to/1PpER97 Thanks for watching!
Awesome video man! Very helpful. How's driving with it on? Is there a lot of wind sounds when driving?
+James M Thanks a lot for the positivity James! There is some wind noise but only at speeds of 35mph +. I have a hardtop so it doesn't bother me at all. Thanks for watching!
How do you stop the whistle noise when you're driving. I have the exact bar and I need to stop the noise.
Very informative thanks for the Video tutorial it looks great on your Jeep 👍👊
Thanks alot!
thanks for the video, I just bought my 2016 jeep Rubicon 😊 can't wait to get this light bar. the price on amazon is $495 how can I get for $200??
+secomejia12 Thanks for the comment! Congrats on your new jeep! Since the release of the video, they sold out and now are back to the regular price! Sorry! Thanks for watching! #jeepwave
So your video was very helpful but my firewall hole is where my clutch goes so I don't know where to put the harness, do U know?? #jeeplife
+Brandon Ambrosino Thanks a lot Brandon! There are several firewall holes that can be used to access the engine bay from the interior. You should also check the passenger side footwell. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching! #jeepwave
Great video. One quick question. When you passed the wire underneath the support bar on the driver side did it affect the way the support bar fitted on the jeep? did it squeeze the wire? Did it end up changing the allignment of the bar to the light is directed more to the right of the vehicule?
+eric Trudel Thanks for the comment. I am assuming you are talking about the 50" windshield brackets. Those are made to have a wire run down the inside of them between the body of the Jeep and the bracket. It is a tight squeeze and you do have to be patient because it can be frustrating to get it perfect but it will fit if you take your time. I have not noticed any side efforts from running the wires this way. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Great thanks for the info! I was reading the manuals and I was not aware the brackets had a special space to run the wire. Thanks for the response and have fun with your jeep!
+eric Trudel No problem! Good luck with your install. Thanks again of watching! #jeepwave
Awesome video man!
Thanks Jesus!!
Great video.
Have you found anyway to eliminate the crazy wind issue that installing the lightbar creates ?
Thanks Brandon! I am thinking of doing a video on the light bar noise but the best and most effective was of totally eliminating the wind noise is taking off the light bar! LOL thanks for watching!
love the vid bro I'm getting a light bar pretty soon for my jk
+Carlos Hernandez Thanks for the positive feedback! Be sure to use the link in the description to get the exact light bar seen in the video! Good luck with your installation! Thanks for watching!
In my second firewall I believe there is a clutch pipe or something like that , because my jeep is a stick shift . Is there any way to work around that ?
Drew Trice There should be enough room to squeeze your cables through there otherwise there should be a second firewall plug higher up which you can located form inside the engine bay. If you make a small slit in the firewall it should give you extra space without compromising its strength. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!
Love it my friend and thanks getting ready to do mine soon TJ.
+Anthony Harrod Thanks for the comment bro! I appreciate all the support! Thanks for watching! #jeepwave
You’re the man 🙌🏼 thanks for the help my fellow jeeper
That is a relay, not a transformer...
prerunnermaniac Thanks!
...
Nice video, what steps did you exactly take to paint the mounting bracket. What type of paint and or primers did you use. Would you recommend painting silver for a silver jeep with the fenders and bumpers that are black. Thanks ahead of time.
+Reinier Cruz Thanks for the comment Reinier! I actually got mine painted at a local body shop. Because the piece were so small they only charged like $20... I like to color match but its totally up to you. Thanks for watching!
Will there be any problems with pinching the wire going into the hood or on the mount at the top of the windshield?
Thanks for the comment Colin! Pinching can be a problem but it can be avoided by making sure the wires are not in the way of anything. I have not have any issues. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
So... if you're looking at a used JK, and it already has one of these monstrosities on it, how bad is the windshield frame and hinge going to be if you try to remove it?
Is there a way to install the led light bar without that white part you already had? If there is, where i should pass the wires? Great video, tks a lot!
Thanks alot Andre! You need the brackets for installation. Thanks for watching!!
Can your next video be about connecting the light bar to the mlc 6?
Thanks for the suggestion! I am planning on doing an updated lighter installation video! My video quality has drastically increased since this video and I believe it is time for an update! Thanks for watching!
AdventureDex Thank you!
Thanks for the tips. Buying mine tomorrow but it only comes in a rough flat black. Would like to make it glossy. Some have suggested Plasti Dip. Don't know if that will make it glossy though. I live in Dubai and am sometimes limited to what I can find out here to my taste... Any suggestions? Did you order yours white to match your JK or did you paint them?
+Jose Rodriguez Thanks of the comment bro! My brackets came in a textured black finish and I also wanted to change the color of the brackets to match my Jeep. I took the brackets to a local auto shop and asked them to sand them down a little bit and spray them with auto paint to match my white Jeep. They did it and charged me $60 for both sides. It shouldn't be too hard to find someone who could paint them for you! I hope that helps! Be sure to use the links in the description for exact products seen in this video. Thanks for watching!
Question, where you ran the switch threw, I do not have that hole, New 2016 willy. Any advise, I don't want to drill if I don't have to.
+Philip Haigh Thanks for the question! You don't have to drill a hole, every Jeep has a firewall plug. It might be relocated on the 2016 willy but it has to be there. It is the same hole that the factory used to get wires from the engine compartment to the interior. The best advise I can give you is use a flashlight and look for a rubber grommet on the firewall. If the hole is too small you can cut a slit in it to fit more wires through it. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Hello, where did you find the white windshield mount? I have a white jeep and I can't find one to save my life
now if you had the factory aux switches already installed what would you do with the on off switch that comes with it? would you leave it in the on position and hide it under the dash or remove it? I want to turn it on and off with the aux switches. How long did the light bar last? trying to decide which to get with about $400 Thanks so much.
The light bar can still be turned on when the car is off right? If so, is there a way to wire it so it only turns on when the car is on in the ignition or run position? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
How much wind noise does the light bar make with the top off?
+DWall28 thanks for the comment! This is a very popular question! There is some wind noise but it's not that bad! The noise doesn't outweigh the functionality! Thanks for watching!
DWall28 of a soft top it's insane. Haha. I'm sure hard top is much better
I agree with Brandon, I installed mine today and the wind noise is pretty ridiculous!
Depends on bar and mounts. Have had 2 bars and neither whistled on a soft top or hard. But door trim on bottom fins will resolve if you do have whistle
Check out the latest video on wind noise!!
nice jeep man, been really wanting a light bar for my 2008 Jeep Wrangler just don't know where to look for great quality without breaking the bank. #JeepLife
+Jeff richards Thanks alot! I would recommend checking out Auxbeam! They are very affordable and good quality! Thanks for watching! #jeepwave
where can i find the link for the actual brackets that hold the bar up
Well done !!!
+Elmer Estrada Thanks a lot for the comment Elmer! I appreciate the positivity! Thanks for watching!
I'm planning to buy an 50" led bar for my truck and a pair of small fog lights also. my question is can a wiring harness support both led bars or ill have to buy each led bar the 50" and the fog lights each wiring harness?
Rey Martinez Thanks for the comment and question! It all depends on how you want them to be controlled. The easiest way to wire them, would be to get 2 separate wiring harnesses for like $15 and they come with the relay, fuse and switch all pre-wired. Run them to the battery and each light and your good to go. So you will have a serape switch for those light. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
Are you having any whistling on your light bar? I installed one on my Jeep and it’s making a whistling noise and I’ve tried different ways to get rid of it and nothing has fully worked. I’ve tried some trim and I’ve order 3 different brands of silencers for light bars and nothing has worked. If your light bar whistles what do you do to get rid of it?
how did you connect the switch? did you drill into the dash part, or use adhesive? also how did you hide the wires once in the cab?
Thanks for the comment joshf 22 The wire harness (switch) that came with this LED light had an adhesive sticker on the back of it. I ran that switch from the wire harness through the firewall which is located under the drivers dash (at the top left) and then I ran the wire up behind the steering column and out through the side of the steering wheel and then just stuck it to the side of the steering wheel. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the videos Dex! What is your experience with these 50 inch light bars as far as wind noise?
Thanks for the comment Ray! There will also be wind noise with light bars but I feel that the functionality and looks out weigh the noise. For me it is not bad because I have a hardtop. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Hi, can you tell me what paint you used to paint the brackets to match the white of the color ? Thank you !
I got them done by a local body shop. They used auto paint to match my Jeep color code. Thanks for watching!
really nice jeep man, been looking for a 50" light bar for my jeep just have no clue where too look for the best quality and great price.. #jeeplife
+Jeff Richards Thanks a lot Jeff! I would recommend Auxbeam! They have very affordable LED's but with good quality! Thanks for watching! #jeepwave
Nice Video, very helpful. Much thanks!
+BostonBarrry Thanks a lot bro, I am glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!
Can you post a link for the mounts? I can’t find them to fit a 2018 rubicon
Here are a ton of different options! amzn.to/2N6Zzll amzn.to/2N6Zzll
Wouldn’t the light drain your battery the little red light? How would I turn it on with the car on and have it off when the car is off.
very helpfull video, you are awesome
Thanks a lot Adalberto Florentino Cleto Am very happy you found my video helpful! Thanks for watching! Your awesome too!
***** Thanks for watching! You should also check out Oslamp LED Light bars on Amazon they have great prices too!
Good review and how to video
+jeggej01 Thank a lot and thanks for watching!
Ok, so I'm installing my Rough Country windshield light bar brackets and Rough Country light bar....my concern is tucking the light bar cable behind the driver side light bracket....doesn't it leave a big gap between the bracket and pillar? ...AND couldn't tightening the bracket down with light bar power cable be damaged when tightened? What about light pattern being more to the right (passenger side) since the bracket would stick out more in the driver side because of the power cable.
That is strange, I never had a problem tucking the cable behind the bracket. If there isn’t enough room just run the wire down the side. Hope that helps thanks for watching
Hello! Nice vid.
For the brackets did you have to buy new torque screws or did you use the pre existing ones
+PICUDOtheFIRST Thanks for the positive feedback. You can use the OEM T screws, the brackets don't come with any. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching!
