9-10. To affix the Pro6 Lightbar above the windshield, we started by removing the five bolts from the Jeep’s
cowl. KC provided replacements with enough length to fit through the mounting bracket and still maintain
thread contact.^10

  1. Two pairs of hands made lifting and
    bolting the lightbar into place much easier.

  2. The Pro6 Lightbar is unique in that
    it can be installed curved or completely
    straight—thanks to KC’s Infinity Ring
    joints between each individual Pro6 light.
    The center mount’s rubber foot creates
    tension between the lightbar and the
    windshield, maintaining the curvature. We
    made sure to adjust the rubber foot so it
    did not contact the wiper blades during
    their movement. The eight lights draw
    13.04 amps and toss 18,400 lumens of
    light in front of the Jeep.

13-14. We loosened one cowl panel to run the Pro6
Lightbar wire down the A-pillar and to the sPOD.
Again, we stripped off the relays and extra wiring
provided by KC and wired the lightbar directly to
the sPOD.

15-16. Lastly, after removing the Jeep’s grille and its
plastic retaining clips, we plugged the Gravity LED
Pro 7-inch headlights into the sockets, and within
minutes, we had bumped the output of our driving
high/low beams to 3,200 and 1,770 lumens, respec-
tively, with each light drawing 1.88 amps.
