- Got this 41.5" LED light bar off Amazon and installed it in a few hours using a Rigid Industries LED light bar wiring harness and OffRoadGorilla's Nissan 2nd Generation Xterra light bar mounts. I took a gamble with a cheap $88 amazon led bar, this thing feels built like a tank and is very bright! I didn't want the install to look as cheap as it is so I made sure to get custom made mounting brackets by offroadgorilla.com. They fit perfectly and shipped with free 2 day shipping! The wiring harness wasn't quite long enough for my application so I lengthened the positive lead to the battery and the positive and negative leads by 2 ft going to the light above the roof. I drilled a 1/4" hole in the roof to run the wires. This was done under the roof basket and hidden. I placed a rubber grommet to protect the wires and put a hefty glob of silicone inside and out. Running the wire up the A pillar around the side airbags was the most nervous part of the install. The second most difficult part was getting a 3/4" hole drilled for the light switch. I slowly stepped up the bit side but it still came out a little rough but not noticeable. NOTE* the rigid industries switch doesn't come with instructions, The black wire goes to the gold plug, the blue wire goes to the center silver plug and the red plugs into the bottom silver plug.
Great explanation of the interior process. Much appreciated. I’m installing 4 auxbeam 4” pods to my 08’ Xterra. Using one switch w/ 40A relay.
Very very bright off the hood and dirt on windshield. Helpfully mostly off-road going slow and general visibility for outdoor camp set up
I recently saw it on amazon for $60!!! ps mine is still working great with no issues so far
Let's see a vid of that thing in action!
Great explanation, did it ever leaak?
Do you have the link for this led bar on amazon??
I have a 2001 xterra i bought a light bar im having alot of trouble on figuring out to mount it do u live in jersey where we can meet up and help?
looking to putting a lightbar on mine, just got the cube lights too. I'm so bummed that the light bar mounts are $75, i need a way to jerry rig it lol!
Do you still need to drill a hole on the roof?
Did those screws come with the mounts?
What lightbar on amazon did you buy, and what size mount was it, the standard or xl? Im looking into buying a lightbar but dont want to get the wrong lightbar size or mount size and then be shit out of luck.
Man it was so long ago I dont know but here is the light bar link.

hey man did you need longer bolts for the brackets? mine arnt long enough, also any problems with water leaking into the interior?
no water leaks so far, bolts that came with it worked perfectly
How can you not have water leak?
I'm assuming your light bar came with mounts. Did you they work with the Xterra resulting in requiring you to buy the ones you're currently using?
Kameron A the Gorilla mounts don't require drilling also? I know that's best route, but don't wanna spend $100 for those if I absolutely don't have to. Bottom line, will mounts that come with light bar effectively work?
Mikey C they will be wide enough but look bad and you will have to drill through plastic and metal
Kameron A thank you for your replies. If I have more questions, I'll ask.
Mikey C s

Any water leakage problems yet man?
Please respond
absolutely Zero leakage so far! I did apply a thin bead of silicone on all visible cracks
Cracks on what? And thank you for your response
@@stonebrooks9834 not very bright huh?
He could install this and have zero leaks. I could install this and have zero leaks. Then you could do it the exact same way and have water coming in. His answer is so definitive you beg him to respond holy fuck.
What light bar?
I don't see the exact vendor that I used at Amazon but search 41.5" Cree led bar and you are near certain to get the same model. They seems to always change vendors but I hear they are all the same
Amazon changes it all the time... just search Cree 40" led light bar
Next time you should film it outside, in the daylight
