I have this light on my 2008 JK Unlimited and it whistles like crazy. I installed door ding rubber bumper on the fins and it went away. My light bar also filled with water during a a heavy rain. I will silicone the next one.

There is no whistling and it is a great light for the money. I plan on buying another one soon
487457
I had it on my cab and there was no whistling. Although I wouldn't suggest getting this light bar. Mine was defected and I couldn't contact the seller

Not bad, just depends on how fast you drive. If on the toll road at 80 miles an hour yes it does but not that bad

I've got this on my Jeep wrangler and there is a MAJOR whistle coming off of this thing! Also when tightening the bolts down on the side they stripped out. The housing is aluminum, it hope the re-tapped treads will hold!!

Nope no whistle from me mine is quite and mounted right above the windshield

I took it out of the box went to put it on, checked it out to make sure it work's, and the one side of 20 led's did not work, having hard time getting something done with it, still have it.

I just got one to put on my 20L and while it fits the light is all in the very center and isn't bright enough toward the corners. I would look elsewhere.

Following back up on here about this. No issues still. Had mine installed in Feb. Took all the gaskets out and RTV siliconed them and put the gaskets back in. I think that's what has saved me. It is still bright and works great!

The light filament is grounded to the metal mounting bracket. You would need to get a wire from that to the negative on your lighter adapter to make it work. If you are mounting it to metal on the vehicle, you should only need to run the positive from the lighter adapter to it.

The mount goes in the middle with the wire running through it. Mine came with it, these lights are amazing for there size. I own 6 of them.

I installed it on my Yamaha motorcycle and I decided to use a relay just in case. It's nice and compact and very loud. Without knowing how much current your jeep can supply to the horn, I would strongly suggest using a relay. I don't remember but it may come with its own relay. If not you can get one for a couple of bucks anywhere.

I had a similar problem. I called it ground feedback. No one else heard of it. When I put these in I get a faint glow on the dash turn signal indicators and the front turn signal lamps are also glowing slightly. This was with a pair of cheap knock off lamps installed. I am going to try the JDM Lamps to see if better quality makes any difference.

Plan on installing this on my 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Limited, 5.2L engine. Have added 30amps of off road lights and the existing alternator of 90 amps and 250,000 miles makes some noises (abnormal) when I switch the lights on, so I'm fairly sure upgrading the alternator is a wise choice. Is this a direct replacement or will I need to make any modifications? If modifications are necessary, what are they? advise? Thanks in advance. Backyard Mechanic....

Michael, as my jeep is a 2011, I cannot answer this question. I am not sure if they changed the front bumper or not. Like I said in my review, this light bar is probably best used for show, not for true off-roading. Best of luck...

I haven't had any probs with the light being reliably mounted in place. Having said that, I ride on road only so no bumps (weather here in CA is pretty good). My subjective opinion is that it shouldn't be a problem, but then again perhaps for mountain biking the mount won't hold up. I'm sorry I can't be of more help.

Look at your headlights pop your hood you should still have the exact same design only the newer ford's change it. Mine was a 05 so if yours is the same as those then yeah your food to go easy as hell to mount wiring a little trickier get a professional if you know nothing about it, I hooked mine up to my fog lights so the halo lights only turn on when I turn on my fog lights at night saves the halos from getting burnt out

Mounting is universal. As long as you can fit a bolt through somewhere and secure a nut on the other end, you're good. ~try to make sure they send you SPOT lights, not flood lights. I ordered spots and got floods, but I actually liked being able to light up my immediate surroundings on the Jeep. However, on a motorcycle you will definitely want something that projects further out if you're using them for night riding.

No, the is to stop the anti flicker for the 2012 and up Jeep JK. It should be find on your YJ. It's not needed anyway. It's barely visible

Mine died recently too, but since I was trained in electronics/electricity in the Marines, I thought I'd just fix it. Nope, the lamp is built so that when it dies, you just need to toss it. After 8 or 10 years, I just ordered a new one from Amazon. Bell and Howell is a very good name in the industry, but I guess, as in all things, you just have to know when to say when. Save yourself a headache, and buy a new one.

I don't know. I would call both the dealership and an offroad shop anywhere in Las Vegas or Phoenix specializing in [][][][][][][] and ask if tail light size, shape etc. has changed. Desert areas LOVE Jeeps! Carlos

Hey Jason. No worries. This light is awesome! I think those are extra. Unscrew the head and you should find three o-rings there. If not, insert them in the slots and grease them with any type of Vaseline. Cheers
