Yesterday I did a quick installation of the LED lights that were sent to me for review and testing. On the passenger side I mounted one on the bottom of the windshield and on the driver's side I mounted the light on the cowl:
The mounts that come with the lights are intended for mounting on a bumper, bull bar or similar so they're not ideal for these locations. If you're mounting the lights in a location like that the mounts are excellent but I had to change some screws to make them work in these locations. The cowl mount was ok although the screws in the cowl are a little small for this application, but the mounts aren't really designed for mounting on the windshield.
The wiring harness that comes with the lights makes everything plug-and-play, although since this was a preproduction kit there were a few minor areas for improvement in the harness. Even so the harness was very easy to use and worked very well.
The lights have five modes, and these modes are native to the lights themselves so any switch used can control the modes, the switch that comes with the kit isn't required. The modes are:
- White
- Yellow
- Strobed white
- Strobed yellow
- Strobed/alternating white and yellow
The focus isn't the best in this video but it does show all of the modes.
I'm not a "light guy" so I don't plan to keep these installed on my Jeep but they're very nice lights if you want something with a range of modes like these. I don't know what the final price will be when they're released but I've been led to believe they'll be very affordable.
