Krispybacon Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Hey Everybody! I thought I would share some pictures of my Light Bar Installation just incase anyone else was thinking, or wanted to do the same! If anyone has any questions or tips for better work feel free to chip in! I am currently waiting for a rally bar type addition to come out and replace this with some Hella Lights or something of the sort, for now...I have this! http://i65.tinypic.com/2l8zv2o.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/243eqvr.jpg http://i63.tinypic.com/2iqjxp3.jpg http://i65.tinypic.com/15p4vox.jpg http://i64.tinypic.com/s5z79w.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/2kolrt.jpg http://i65.tinypic.com/kd7kvc.jpg http://i65.tinypic.com/2hwzebp.jpg http://i64.tinypic.com/30v0xa1.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanG_Legacy Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Those look more sleek than the Hellas, in my opinion. Thanks for sharing this. Are you also using the garage door sealer on the bottom? looks good! Also, thanks for serving! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CT2015Legacy Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 That looks awesome man! Thanks for sharing. Do you have a wiring diagram write up or anything to go along! Would be a HUGE help as I'm looking to do this to. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krispybacon Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 I'm gonna post up a wiring diagram for mine, but i'm sure it's the same thing or at least along the lines of andrews! I'll try to find some pics of my bar at night, i should have them somewhere...if not...gotta give me at least a good 5 months considering it's daytime 24/7 right now in alaska for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ehsnils Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 A tip is to take the current for the lamps from the alternator and not the battery. Otherwise some voltage drop occurs over the wire from alternator to battery and may cause the battery to not get charged as quickly as it should.

Otherwise some voltage drop occurs over the wire from alternator to battery and may cause the battery to not get charged as quickly as it should. Where you pull that from? Does the alt put out a constant voltage or does it float based on a voltage sense wire (this is how my Mercury Cougar did it) This is my signature, there are many like it but this one is mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the alt put out a constant voltage or does it float based on a voltage sense wire (this is how my Mercury Cougar did it) Main wire from alternator, and the voltage regulator is in the alternator so the best possible voltage is there.

Anthonyg Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Mabey am stupid but what did you bolt the bar to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krispybacon Posted May 18, 2017 Author Share Posted May 18, 2017 Mabey am stupid but what did you bolt the bar to Not stupid at all, I bolted the bar to the bottom bumper actually. Taking the bottom grill out and trimming it allotted me the space needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PATS4LIFE Posted June 29, 2017 Share Posted June 29, 2017 How many inch is that light bar?and where did u get it from?thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jsmith Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Lights bars have come a long way the past few years and the prices have fallen through the floor. I installed this 20" one my old Wrangler about a month ago and man does it turn night into daylight. I was skeptical because it is so cheap, but it works great and if a rock breaks it, its only $30 lol.... https://www.amazon.com/Nilight-Lights-Driving-Lighting-Warranty/dp/B00WE47FVM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1498826071&sr=8-2&keywords=nilight+light+bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsmith Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Guys, I apologize for the delay, had a busy weekend. Here are the pictures of the light bar on my Wrangler. The ambient lighting looks different because these were taken with my iPhone....but all were taken within 2 minutes start to finish.
