Why can't they just make dadblamed switch round so all you need to do is drill a hole? A rectangular slot is not optimal.

Yeah, I liked the idea of a round switch too, so I ordered one off of Amazon for my lightbar.

I like your idea of putting your light bar on a removalable cross bar. That'll be very convenient.

 

Hi I see you installed in a similar location. Can you please post some pictures of your light bar? Also I like how you're switch illuminates. What brand may I ask?

 

I'm going to aim the lamps 180deg when not in use to prevent accumulation of scratches and insect debris.

 

Here's one photo, but I'll try to get some close up shots.

It's a Lasfit 22" lightbar. I like the idea of potentially using it as sacrificial protection for my radiator, as it'd be cheaper and easier to replace. So far the lens is holding up really well and I've have 0 condensation issues.

Wow! Love that color! I can't tell you how many steering stabilizers I've smoked.

 

Sorry I got distracted yesterday after work. Was eating dinner and someone ended up flipping their car in front of my place...

Anyway, here's some close up photos, as well as a quick wiring diagram I created to show how I hooked mine up.

I wired my light bar so it comes on/off with my highbeams, but the button allows me to turn the light bar off if I don't want it on with my high beams.

For example if I'm at a stop sign intersection at night and want to flash someone to tell them they can go first, or I bring my vehicle to get inspected, I'll turn the light bar off so I don't blind someone or fail my inspection.

The light on the button comes on anytime my light bar is on.

 

Updates to complete the LED Lite Bar install,

Insane in the membrane. Powerful is an understatement. Eye popping. Went off without any issues. Try to use the best copper 10ga wire to power these. The output from the factory is seriously under rated. These are well over 10,000lux (candlepower.) These are mounted to a removeable Thule crossbar rack. I had an extra from losing one (along with a surfboard in high winds.) Glad I saved the remaining one. I'd mount it higher if I could. You could light up half of Santa Cruz with these. 10A, 250V rated coupler. HomeDepot. Bag of 10 was $4.

 

Looks nice and bright! Do you know how many watts the light bar is? 10 guage were sounds overkill, but maybe it draws more amps than I would think.

 

Manifold was in stock at the stealers! It's a new 2008 intake!

 

I love the look of your Jeep. What rack is that? Do you have wheel spacers?

 

Thanks! It's a Rola roofrack with their extension.

Fits the full length of the roof really well.

No wheel spacers. My wheels are 8" wide with 4.5" back spacing. Tires are 265/70r16.

 

Are those factory tail lamps?

 

Wait this is about lite bars? This thread? Lol we're a bunch of nutjobs.
