DISCLAIMER: DO NOT ALTER OR INSTALL ANYTHING ON YOUR LIGHT BAR, COULD CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT OR SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONNEL
Sorry, don't want anyone to cause a fire..anyways, lol
So a couple of weekends ago I painstakingly installed my 52 inch light bar on the roof (6 hr + job) and I was kindof expecting a whistle from but not that loud (sounded like a pot of water boiling from a tea kettle whistler). Was looking for a cheap yet effective solution..I found a couple online but ended up going to Lowes and I bought a 1 inch diameter copper pipe insulator and zip ties. The aft fins (I think they're cooling fins) are what makes the whistle so I attached the insulator to it and the noise is gone..wonderful quietness once again.
On a side note how hot do these bars get while they're on or what the purpose of the aft fins are? I don't really plan on running it sitting still or for very long periods of time.
I wish my hood wasn't white in color but also the picture doesn't justify how much light it really puts out compared to the stock headlights I'm running
