i have it and i like it but had to make changes

i refuse to have the wiring harness come out the back of the bar and drape accross the gap and in the jeep through the upper passenger door corner gasket..poor planning on Delta's part not well thought out at all.

i have installed a formed stainless tubing that i ran the wires in on the drivers side from under the bar and down to the cowl and behind the windshield mounted lights. that way the rest of the harness blends in with the windshield light.

light output---well--the light bar is very unfocused in front of jeep like 2 fog beams....kinda nice since i have bumper and windshield lights with spot beams. the light bar is more like area coverage from above.

the wiring set up lets u turn on just the 2 inside lights on the bar(the police style take down lights.) and then the 4 outside lights or all of the above.

if u are expecting long range lighting these will disappoint. more like high mounted low power use flood lights.

i suggest that if u want long range lighting stick with round lights.

the bar itself is the length needed for a tj and Delta has u install spacers on each end of the bar to correct the length instead of a jk specific bar length. not impressed with that at all. cant change that, just have to live with it.

i just like the mean look the bar has with the covers removed
( i threw those worthless covers in a bag in my shop and have never looked at them again. damn near impossible to get them off when on the trail.)

sorry i rambled there for a minute. writing as the problems came to me.

That is the stainless tube i painted and added to run the wiring harness down to my pillar lights. Delta wants u to run the light wiring harness through the top front corner of the passenger door gasket from the back of the lightbar. Very tacky and creates a water leak

The corner is where the ttop, windshield and the door all meet. Its a real shitty spot for a bundle of yellow wires to be draped around ur jeep, trust me.

Does this bar have parking lights wired in? Just passed a jeep with it that had about 5 small parking lights glowing from the bar, but not sure if that was coming from somewhere else... Looked sweet though
