Invisible / Hidden 30" Light Bar

[fedrlbiker]

Looks great, this is what I want to do as well. I like the idea of the mounts s well. What did you do to smoke the glass? And did you lose any light output?

Home Depot sells a smoked plexiglass. I bought a sheet and cut it with a razor and straight edge to size then used a strip of black tape and zip ties for now. I wanted it to make sure it was removable easily on the trail.

As far as light output, I'm sure it reduced it by at least 10% but it is worth it for the overall look and I can take it off if I need.

Also interested to see what you did with the hood latch

It is a custom piece of wire I used when I did the 2006+ facelift. I installed the light bar far enough back that it doesn't touch. The rear of the light almost touches the horns and radiator tubing.

Double post from my build thread to make it more search friendly.

I finally got it all worked out to hide my light bar behind the satoshi grill. I love the stealth look! The mount is kinda ghetto, but it's all I could come up with to get it in the right spot.

Also, the lens it held on by a strip of electrical tape up top and 3 zip ties. One at each end and one in the middle. That way I can remove it if I ever need just a little more light output and put it back on later.

No, just a reflection on the camera lens.

Edit: Didn't read. Found it. Nevermind.

Where'd you get the smoked lens?

Looks great, did you have any issues on tuning and connecting the wires? Can you post on how to wire it to the battery and switch inside?

how big is the light bar?

says in the title 30"

Rigid makes a 30" blacked out light bar... kinda pricey at $1k though. Surely someone has made a similar one for cheaper.

for some reason it didn't display the title on my phone sorry about that..is the led part itself is 30" or overall with Mounts is 30"? have actually taken one apart before and just used window tint on the factory lense and then reassembled..make it nice you can choose how dark you want the tint that way also
