Rugged Ridge 3-Inch Square LED Lights with Textured Black Dual A-Pillar Light Mounting Brackets (07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK)Find parts that fit my vehicle

I'm Ryan from extremeterrain.com, and this is my review and installation of the Rugged Ridge A-Pillar Light Mount Kit, fitting all 2007 and up JKs. Today, we're gonna talk through the installation of this kit, which I am going to give a two out of three wrenches because you do have to do some wiring to get this installed. This does not come with a wiring harness, and most wiring harnesses you can purchase would be for one light. So again, you would still have to do some wiring to get all four of these lights hooked up. We're also going to talk through the construction and a few of the other features of this kit. This is a light mount kit because, as you can see, it includes not only the mounts but also the lights to go with them, making this a very simple one-stop shop. So if you are somebody who's looking to add some lighting to your A-Pillars and you're interested in having a dual setup where you have two lights on either A-Pillar, this is going to be an option that gives you everything you need in the box as far as the mounts and the lights themselves go. Because you are purchasing these together, you can rest assured that the lights are going to fit onto the brackets without a problem. However, as I said before, these do not include any wiring harness, so you are going to have to do a little bit of wiring for these. Because these are Rugged Ridge lights, which are a quality light but they're not going to be at the top of the spectrum, this whole kit is going to be a little bit less expensive than some of the other ones the market. And as I said before, the convenience of having a one-stop shop is a really nice feature.The brackets that are included in this kit will fit right onto your A-Pillars using all of the factory hardware, making installation very, very simple. And these lights are designed for a traditional single post mount which these brackets do accept. So again, getting everything mounted up is going to be a very simple process. The brackets are steel, covered in a textured-like powder coat finish, which is going to do a nice job of matching most aftermarket bumpers and also the factory plastic black accents that are on your JK. The lights themselves have an aluminum body and have four Cree LEDs putting out a total of 16 watts per light, which is going to be a good amount of light for what most of us use our lights for. And that fact that you have four lights means that even if each of the lights isn't quite as bright, by the time you add up four of 'em, you do have a good bit of light output. Now anytime you're mounting lights on the A-Pillar, it's usually recommended that you use a spotlight, and the spot beam a nice narrow beam that keeps light from bouncing off the hood back into your eyes as the driver, which can ruin your night vision. Now, these lights are a driving beam, which is a low, wide beam. Not quite as wide as a fog beam, but it is a low, wide beam. So there is a chance that you're going to get a little bit of bounceback off your hood with the beam pattern that's included with these lights. Now, it's not the end of the world. Some of you, it won't bother. Some of you might not have even noticed it if I didn't mention it. However, if you do a lot of research, most people that have been running lights in the A-Pillar location for a long time will recommend a spot pattern, and I thought it was worth pointing out that these are a driving pattern. However, there are a lot of benefits to running four lights on your A-Pillar. I personally like the fact that you could, if you decided to change some of these lights out, run two different beam patterns. You could have a flood pattern that is aimed more out toward the gutters and a spot pattern out in front of you. You can switch these independently or as pairs. You could put color change film on some of the lights and not others. You have a lotta flexibility when you're running four lights on the A-Pillars. And with this kit, you get all four of th
