Default I got the first M&R High5 Grill kit for the JK

Hey guys

Before i get started i just want to say that i LOVE this forum have been a member for years. I want to share my experience with M&R Automotive

I use to have the M&R 50" Light bar on my roof but unfortunately it got stolen

The thieves did a lot of damage to my car when they ripped it off and i told myself that I would never buy something that expensive that is so vulnerable to theft

I contacted the fallas at M&R and proposed an idea for something more discrete

They have fulfilled my expectations with the High5 kit that is awesome looking on the JK

Just want to share a product that im a HUGE fan of and recommend it to everyone

Makes me feel a lot better knowing that its behind my grill and its not that easy to take while my car is just parked.

Just in case you guys are interested, they can be seen at MandRonline.com

Looks great! How much? Can the lights be pulled up closer to the top of the grill slots?

They are $400

As far as placement im pretty happy with where they are. But you can always give them a call and ask. You can find their number on the website and ask for Mike

The idea is great !

I do, however, wonder about a few things:

During slow offroading in hot desert, wouldn't they block too much of the intake in front of the radiator, even more so with 2 rows of lights.

Doesn't the bar block some of the light?

Are the bodies made of aluminum or plastic? Cooling fins?

I also wonder about "cooking" the lights so close to the radiator.

What is the light color? Under 5500K?

The lights are roughly 2" by 2" each with plenty spacing. The area they take up doesn't impact the cooling of the JEEP


They sit right over the bully bar. If some of the light is lost it's right up close and has no impact from the driver seat. Light output is crazy

They are aluminum and have cooling fins

This set is advertised as pure white at 6000k

Cool idea, but don't ever call your jeep a car.

That looks great - I really like it - the placement is unique. Very nice way to keep it stealthy but functional.
