Good Share.
I'm gonna to get one cheaper. There are a lot of manufacturer now involved in making the similar light, for LED now is hot.
Only if the LEDs they use the same brand, the metal parts are all made in aluminum, so there is no worry. The key is the driver inside they use which decide the life span. Plan to find one with good comment record, that will give credit.

[MENTION=94059]Got2xlr8[/MENTION] where did you find that price? I think one group buy that happened over Labor Day weekend was around 300.

I followed OP's exact instructions for the install.
Sorry I don't have any pics of the actual wiring. Coming off the bar, there should be a quick release plug that connects to the harness, I routed this underneath front roof rail mount. (Pulled cover off, loosened both bolts)
I then followed OP's instructions to strip the black housing from the red/black wires, I routed these wires along the weatherstripping and down into the engine compartment.

Very nice! How hard was it to run the wires? Did you have to pull up the entire weatherstrip or were you able to just work them under with it in place?

I started doing mine and I'm using 12G and had no issues shoving it under
Thanks! I know some installs are drilling the roof and wiring through a seal but this seems a lot safer (for me at least).....:thumb:

Thanks!
I found it was pretty much impossible to put the wires completely UNDER the weather stripping because then it will not sit flat. There is actually a small groove in the side of the strip where i just shoved the wires into, and they fit pretty snug.
Snug is fine.... I assume that you are talking about the groove that is on the wind shield side of the weather stripping.... Did you have to lock it in place with anything or were they snug enough to stay reasonably in place over time?

Yes, that is the one!
I made sure to pull the wires tight on each end, and so far so good. Have been on a 30mi dirt adventure and a couple car washes and all is well.
Excellent! Much appreciate you posting the details.... This will be the perfect solution for me since I will be mounting the relay(s) in the engine compartment anyway.... :thumb:
