always solder your connections, use some good heat shrink, you don't want any unexpected electrical fires...

I removed the splice in the wire where the light and harness connect and soldered them together because of the routing location it could have shorted out. I added a weather proof connector under the hood for easy removal...

I also removed the notorious butt splices from my 12" on the front and installed another weather proof connector...

Those are the mounts that you told me about and they are pretty stout. I appreciate you letting me know about them... had em' in 2 days.

I got the light bar off Amazon, it's not a Rigid... sigh. I'll see how the IP68 standard that they claim this light has holds up. If it retains moisture by the end of the year I'll put my refund to use and get a Rigid.

You're welcome man. I like mine too, especially since they are steel. By the way, did you have as much fun as I did getting those brackets bolted in? Lol

I put the mounts and bar on at lunch time on Thursday... it was pretty simple for me as I used the screws that hold the weatherstripping on that were closest to the top of the windshield. I had a screw in the front holes at the factory location, I then lined up the mount and got it level, and hit it with a center punch in the middle and rear holes. Pulled back off, drilled and tapped it with a 1/4-20 and put SS button head screws in. The guy sad that his mounts would fit a 52", but when I was putting my light on it was a snug fit and put some tension on everything.

Got a few night pics of the lights, like everyone says when they take pics like this there's no justice for how bright they actually are...

only the 12"...

These lights are super bright and will work just fine for rolling around my land.

I would love the contact info for the guy that sells the mount. Need a nice bar to light up the night.

Got my dome and map lights installed this evening...

20150818_211241.jpg

Nothing like being able to see in the dark, now to move back to the outside and do my new fog lights and fit em' with LED's, my cargo light and reverse. I'm sure those won't be the last either, these LED's have become an addiction and I love light's.
