Would love to see more videos of this lightbar actually being used outside. And a pov from in the cab at night. How much light output thru the glass while still having stock headlights on.
The install video was spot on! I do have an issue is the light bleeding onto the dash. I also didn't receive any side edge gaskets. A little help here would be great for such an expensive item.
Hey Rob. Great video. Did you mention that people with adaptive cruise can’t use this? I’ve heard a couple people say that the bar wasn’t tight so glare came in the cabin. Can you address this and or add in some video from your POV outside in the dark? Happy new year sir!
Rob tends to leave out important details in his videos, which later cause an install to take way longer. I think he does it to streamline the install and his video. Did you run into anything like that while installing? Any surprises that he forgot to mention or that he made it look easy, but it was not? Getting ready to install this and wanted to prep.
Just what you needed! Reduced visibility because of the space needed for the lightbar and glare, and heat into your face while you are driving, well done...
While there is a slight loss of height for the light bar to mount, there is no detectable excess heat generated by the light bar that you can feel inside the Jeep.
I think this is interesting! I like that it is stealth. But concerned about the glare you’d get in the Jeep off the windshield. Can you show us more video and pictures from inside the jeep in the dark with both the amber and white lights on. Thx
Yeah the only internal video shot i saw was at 10:48. Doesnt seem like there's any issues if installed correctly, but would be nice to see a few additional shots. Also wonder how the general visibility is with the bar taking up 1-2" of the top of the windshield.
Police and fire depts, have interior mounted light bars in some of their vehicles, I had one in mine when i was a Firefighter. Never had problems with a glare, and they were flashing.
@@gburchett1 Generally emergency lights do not have the output of a lightbar. Even then I've seen way more with bad glare than ones without. I wouldn't want this because of it. Even if I was I wouldn't chance it before I seen in person
I learned in my half a century of going around to sun, the more you take shit apart, the more chances it has of never to the same. It’s like the rattle you have in your vehicle that you can never find. If ain’t broke, do fix it.
I wonder if they have an RGB option that can be controlled through Bluetooth for cool color effects or even sequences for emergency 🚨/ construction 🚧 or other implementations
Looks like a great product and I will get one for my Jeep but will have to wait for a very good sale, a bit of a sticker shock for me right now. so as now it’s on my wish list along with a great many other wishes for my Jeep.
Great video. Great product, but I have a suggestion. How about a power outlet at the center of the light bar and a mounting bracket for radios. The bracket could be an option. Antenna wiring could follow the power wiring down the A pillar. I could splice into the light bar wiring and make my own bracket, but it would be a really cool feature.
I was thinking the same thing but I think it would only lower the amps while it is on so no worries during the day at least. It drives me crazy cuz it seems everyone only uses that 12v source and no others ever!
So since you are using your 12v power converter, can you use the cigarette lighter and this at the same time? Or do you have to upgrade the fuse? Why not just connect it to 1 of your 4 AUX switches?
If you have the AUX switches why not use them? It really bugs me that everyone seems to just use the lighter socket which reduces the amps that I need to charge my Bluetti power supply
Next make a rgb party light lol .. All jokes aside this is an awesome product however I have on question and I hope it’s a yes ... When lowering the front windshield down to enjoy the outdoors on the gladiator will this not allow it or can I still drop the windshield
This light is so amazing. I always though about this idea. Glad it's available. Way better specially if you want to take the roof off. Slic design. Only huge con is that it takes away headlight as someone who is tall, it will make it more difficult to drive with this light bar above. Otherwise an amazing light bar.

Making the viewable area of the already small windshield shorter... I guess it should come with a warning for taller drivers.. you won’t see the lights at intersections anymore.
Is it possible to order just the housing and mounting hardware without the LEDs or wiring in them? $700 is way too much for something I'd need to gut to put my own lights in.
If I removed my cig lighter and installed oem trailer brake controller will it still get power from that plug? I haven't installed brake yet, does it use that power?
Pros: there are a lot that makes me want to buy one. Cons: if this was an honest review there would be at least one, the lack of information stops me from buying it. I will have have to wait until my friends buy one so I can see.
Why would you do that, the harness it comes with is plug & play and the power switch is on the light fixture. You would have to do some rewiring but im sure you can. Save the auxiliary spot for something else instead.
I hate that you guys don't have this option for the sky one touch roof, I was really looking forward to getting this but couldn't. Makes no sense especially with that roof being such an expensive option me and plenty others with the roof that I KNOW are willing to spend the money and buy this. I hope one day you guys do sell it for our roof, ...................id pay to have you do it
might be a stupid question but i have a 5 inch eyebrow on my 2021 Jeep Wrangler Willy’s. would it be best to remove that prior to installing this light bar?
This is not hard to install. I would caution although maybe I missed something on the website. The one piece only fits the vehicles with a flip mirror. It shows this in the manual. It is installed in my JT without ACC and its gonna stay even though it is not flush. I used weather-stripping to seal for glare. Just FYI. Great video, it is spot on for install. The blue clip on the power was the most annoying it took awhile(5 minutes) to figure out how to disconnect. No washers with kit so have those on hand to install the lightbar to bracket.
No strobe or wave patterns... Do you have a matching light bar for the rear glass? Would be useful for backing up on the trail at night as well as not getting rear ended by your buddies in your dust cloud.
Haha, I just watched the install on the JK and all I can say is that I am glad I have a JL...my friend has a JK and every time I ride it it feel so small inside compared to my JLU. Also you have to take so much more of the dash apart on the JK...
I been waiting to install a light bar of some kind, no idea why but I been hesitant now a couple of years. I am glad I have, I neeeeeeeed this. This is the light bar I want. I will have to wait until the JK version is out. womp womp
Looks like a great product and I cant wait to see it for the JK! What I want to know about the product is light refraction from the windshield at night? Or does pushing it up against the windshield eliminate that?

You guys gotta make one for the JK!
JK will be available in the spring!
@@Quadratec hey dont forget about the tj
@@Quadratec Imma need some release dates! haha
@@Quadratec oh great news, i will definitely buy one. Thanks for the heads up!
100% agree!
They stated on their website in the Q&A section that a version for JK is “Coming Soon”
I hope it, i like this one. Greetings from the Netherlands
first person ever to use the words jeep and aerodynamic in the same sentence!!
“Won’t affect the aerodynamics of your wrangler”. Lol what aerodynamics?
There's some but Jeep won't tell you where. Lol
I was thinking the same thing. Never should Jeep and aerodynamic be in the same sentence
I lost 1.5-2 mpg when I added a light bar to my JL plus it whistled like a MF
Jason Dunn Too true!!!😂
@@mattbrew11
Then, you aren't smarter than me. Lol. Just buy yourself this indoor light bar and you'll be set. Stay golden, pony boy.
MAKE ONE FOR THE JK IT’D BE SO POPULAR
Yes please
I would buy one for the JK!
They're coming out with one this spring
I need one for JK
The company I work for makes and powder coats the metal components for these. It’s nice to see what we make in use.
Would love to see more videos of this lightbar actually being used outside. And a pov from in the cab at night. How much light output thru the glass while still having stock headlights on.
yes me too..thanks
Yeah I think it looks good but I can't imagine it's even remotely functional lol
I too would like to see it in action. Adding lights this summer.
@quadratec i guess you haven't heard the cries of the people 😁 I know its been years, but did quadratec ever follow up?
It's a brilliant product. I think I might have to add this to my Jeep to-do list which sadly keeps growing larger by the day lol.
Will y’all have one for the jk?
Soooo sleek! And no wind noise or preocupation of someone stealing my exposed lights. Need one for my JK!
The install video was spot on! I do have an issue is the light bleeding onto the dash. I also didn't receive any side edge gaskets. A little help here would be great for such an expensive item.
Please reach out to our customer service team here - www.quadratec.com/help/contact
@@Quadratec thank you, I will do that.
That has to reflect light off the windshield to some degree. Also wonder how much heat it outputs...
Make one for TJ’s
Yes, this thing is great, please make one that'll fit my 2017.
Looks like it would fit ? It basically the same every thing
Mr. Sideburns Per their website. The JK version is expected to be ready to ship this Spring.
“Let me show you how easy it is.” Takes the whole Jeep apart lol.
😂
Faaaaaaaaacts! 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm glad I wasn't the only one thinking this......

Holy God😳! I would love this Bad ass LED in my ‘05 Wrangler Rubi Unlimited!!!
I want to disassemble the annoying start switch that turns off when I come to a stop 🛑
The most useful video on TH-cam! Made for an easy shopping decision and an even easier, albeit somewhat frustrating in spots, install. Thank you!

Okanagan Overlanding i was thinking the same thing.
Flat windshield and rubber gaskets. There shouldn't be any glare if it's installed properly.

Finally, need one for jk and custom light colours such as the great flashing red, white and blue.
That would be illegal in the US, you'd be able to use it only when off road.

Sweet like how it mounts and how it go’s right on the windshield with gasket

They should make one for the rear window as well!

Need one to fit the sky one touch power top. Come on Quadratec make it happen
Wouldn't this lower the amps available for the 12v port. I use mine to charge my Bluetti power bank.

I love that your shirt/uniform has the American flag on it. It makes me want to order something from you guys right now!
I have some polo sport shirts . Can I sell you some bridges?
Love this.
Now all I need is a Jeep!
Mine is on order. hurry up and wait.
I need to agree with others, there are thousands of JK Jeeps out there, many want this type of lighting.
It’s hard enough to see some stuff through the small windshield, now it’s as small as a TJ window lol
That’s clean looking and should have them for the JK
Next make a rgb party light lol ..
All jokes aside this is an awesome product however I have on question and I hope it’s a yes ...
When lowering the front windshield down to enjoy the outdoors on the gladiator will this not allow it or can I still drop the windshield
Easy to install ! Proceeds to take apart the entire Interior!
How well does it light? Does the window refract the light in a way that someone would not expect ?
Guys we need for the jk we trust in u r brand don't let another company take this chance from u 🌹👍🏻
This light is so amazing. I always though about this idea. Glad it's available. Way better specially if you want to take the roof off. Slic design.

@hguerra8464 I did not install this myself. So I don't know. Did you install yours? How do you like it.?
How would the install differ for the one touch sky roof?? Also have the advanced cruise control. Thank you, I love this light bar!!! 🤩
sorry, as of right now it is not compatible with the one touch roof.
Do you have plans to release a model that’s compatible with the adaptive cruise control module?
Same question
They need to answer this question
waiting for this too!!
Same here @quadratec get on this !!
I didn't even think about this. Great question.
Looks really good but how functional is it would love to see how this compares to OE led fog lamps b4 buying.
This is beautiful. Will you guys consider making one for a sky one touch power top?
What about the light reflection off the window back into your face?
Yeah but how bad is the glare off the windshield when this is on white light at night?
Is Amber drl or too bright? Also maybe a blackout version no chrome
What if you have the camera up there? Do you have one that goes for that too?
Making the viewable area of the already small windshield shorter... I guess it should come with a warning for taller drivers.. you won’t see the lights at intersections anymore.

The product page in the link in the description has customer reviews as well.
Here in Colorado we go through Wrangler Windshields once or twice a year. Will this impact W.S. replacement?
Are you able to fold the Windshield after the light bar install?
Dammit!! I had an idea for this a few years ago to mount the light bar inside the windshield... knew I shoulda wrote it down 🤣
Since I used that 12v plug for the lasfit auxiliary switches, is there another plug to get the power from ?
Nice product. Any plans for adding two smaller light bars for people with the adaptive cruise control
Hope You Guys make one of these ASAP for the New Ford Bronco ---------------------
If you have the forward adaptive cruise in front of the mirror am I out of luck?
Can you do the power connection to the auxiliaries on the jeep instead of doing it to the accessories.
Why would you do that, the harness it comes with is plug & play and the power switch is on the light fixture. You would have to do some rewiring but im sure you can. Save the auxiliary spot for something else instead.

might be a stupid question but i have a 5 inch eyebrow on my 2021 Jeep Wrangler Willy’s. would it be best to remove that prior to installing this light bar?
left out that it only works w/the jeeps w/o the extra options ?? I have a big sensor box where my mirror is. otherwise would love to get this light
We do have it for the adaptive cruise control version as well. Link in the description takes you to the page with both options.

Would love one for my "new-to-me" 2011 FJ Cruiser. I do own a 2000 heavily modded xj but she is down for some repairs.
whats the application/purpose of this? just to look cool?
Does the switch come for the right hand drive?
Can it be used with the sun rider soft top on
I'll be getting this but fixing that unlit small horrible switch.
Mine shoots kinda high.. seems to just shoot off into the distance and not hit the ground. Any advice?
Quick question. If you have a Gladiator with the Mopar trailer brake controller. Can you still have this tapped into the same 12v location?
What about making them for off roaders other than just Jeep's?
Holy crap! After watching this video installation, I’m glad I have a JK! Good lord the JL and JT have WAY TOO MUCH going on inside the cabin space!
Haha, I just watched the install on the JK and all I can say is that I am glad I have a JL...my friend has a JK and every time I ride it it feel so small inside compared to my JLU. Also you have to take so much more of the dash apart on the JK...
That rear view mirror isn't the same as mine....mine has a surround around the windshield....so what mods need to be done with that??
At 11:33, what was that white piece that fell out? Was that the remains of a clip?
Anyway you can make it work for sky one touch?

Seen no reason to remove the speaker cover. What is the since in having aux plugs when you have to disassemble the interior
So what happens if I want to put the front windshield down?
Project done with no issues! Awesome video!

Quadratec, do you have a way to mount it to a Jl with the sky one touch roof?
Hi I'm a Volunteer Firefighter and do you plan on maybe making a arrow left or right and center out, wig,wag model?
I hope they decide to make this for the JK as well I'm sure a lot of people will buy them I'll be the first one

Can I use those lights as strobe lights as well?🤔
I hope is one soon for JK, it will be a great add...
You guys got to make this for Toyota Tacoma 2020
Sorry we only make these for Jeeps.
will this work with a 2023 jeep wrangler willy?
Can you still lower the windshield with the lightbar installed
What about a light bar for the Compass, like older models? I would like to have one that can't be stolen.
So this doesnt hinder the ability to remove the roof or windshield, correct?
