Would the reflection of the light bounce off the windshield and cause some blindness? I owned a turbo car, and the gauge pod would make seeing out at night a pain.

@@moro1112 if you heard Brad during his review, he mentioned that he still wanted to add some weather strip to the edge (at the windshield) to completely seal off light bleeding through. As for the gauge pod lighting in your car, drop down the bulb wattage you're using, and maybe go back to old skool bulbs if you're using LED bulbs (the light emitted is less "harsh").

Yep...I'm sold. I appreciate the upload; there are definitely not many out there. I'm a big fan of the stealth options for the same reasons you mentioned.

Thanks for checking out my review! This is one of my favorite things to the Jeep that I have done so far.

I'm pleasantly surprised with how much light it actually gave out, nice video mate. Cheers

Super clean install, nice that there isn't any glare in the cab/interior.

Impressive with how little back scatter you’re getting from the windshield and hood. One of the first things I usually notice about a light bar demonstration is the crazy amount of light that other light bars throw in the drivers face. It also won’t create clearance issues driving into parking decks. Also, this isn’t going to add wind noise which is nice if you have a clean roof.

Amazing results, thanks for the post I never knew this existed. Don't have to worry about it being stolen off your vehicle.

Very nice! Thanks for posting this. I love how stealthy it is. There’s a lot of people like yourself who want to have the extra light, but don’t want to draw unnecessary attention to our vehicles when we aren’t on the trail. This light bar is perfect for such people. 👍🏻

This is the video I wanted to see. You showed me everything I wanted to see before buying this light bar. Thanks for the video 💯👍

I installed this on my Jeep Gladiator I love it! only thing with mine is I have an eyebrow tint that severely dampens the light output. after seeing this video I think I'm going to go home and rip that tint off 😅😅

I'd like that for my 4Runner!!

Looks nice, like the comment that you don't want to draw attention to your jeep.....though its a Rubicon with a snorkel, that in its self would draw attention, especially for those of us that own a wrangler. I understand the whistling of the light bar. There are ways around this, but I note that my limb risers also cause a whistle to a degree.

I want on for my truck now. 👍

I love it! Very nicely hidden

If you've not fitted anything to stop the light bouncing off the windscreen. You really don't need to. There's barely any glare. Looks good man

Quadratech, let's get this in the Rene!!

great idea...but some time the beauty of the light bar is to be outseid.. but the inner light bar is a good idea to protect it against thiefs

This would work on my current JL. The one I have on order has the advanced safety options that adds a box behind the rearview mirror for adaptive cruise control and brake assist. I would rather not have that option but is part of the package. 2 smaller ones that could mount inside would be cool.

There cool, for someone who needs to have that look, but I'm not out there to win any beauty contest. May be okay in tight squirly trails, but not for running in the desert with prolonged straightaways. The beam seemed very wide and significantly overlaped the existing lights. Overhead lights should have good reach. I would love to seen a side by side comparison with a set of KC or Diode Dynamics. I tilt my overhead lights up slightly to prevent them from dumping a lot of light close up. A lot of light close up blinds you from seeing farther out, the headlights are in the grill for that. The window tint must have a significant effect on actual lumens.

That's pretty awesome actually... Unless you're really tall but other than that two thumbs up

maybe an odd question. I love the lightbar and im not into the whole mad max vibe of jeeps, i like it clean and pretty factory and useful. strictly beach and dont like doing things while its under warranty. so, think it would run off accessory outlet and skipped the hardwire harness?

@BradKoester

3 жыл бұрын

This light bar I think would have no issues running off an accessory outlet - like the Jeep factory accessory switches or any aftermarket switches. Actually, the stock switches also include a extra un-switched connection that you can use for this too. Would just need to modify the included harness. This is what I like about the light bar, I could remove it tomorrow and there would be no extra holes and such, it uses existing bolts to attach to.

I need one for my dodge ram please, regular roof light bars look like tiaras

Looks good and easy to use. I was concerned you’d have reflected light inside the cab, or light up the glass like a neon light. How hard was it to adjust the light angle and can it be readjusted now you’ve filled (didn’t hear the term you used) around the edges?

No adjusting required. I only needed to apply some additional weather stripping along the bottom along the windshield. With that, there is no more light ‘flashing back’ into the cab.

This is the one piece bar correct? I know they have a other that is split between the rear view mirror. Is there a reason you pick this over that? I've been looking at them for some time and havent decided which version.

The windshield still folds down, and the light bar still works when the windshield is lowered.

Did you add the weatherstripping underneath the light bar or wrap it around the edge of the light bar where the small bit of weatherstripping already is?

@BradKoester

I applied the weather stripping directly to the windshield (the stripping had adhesive on it). The weather stripping is sandwiched between the windshield and the light bar’s weather stripping. This has made a tight seal and have used it many times in the dark and no light leaks through anymore.

Just reminded me I need a new uwharrie permit😂
