Hi, John from Diode Dynamics. Today we'll be showing you how to install our SS5 Windshield
Crosslink Lightbar Kit on this Jeep JK Wrangler. Let's get started. Our first step is to assemble
our SS5s into a lightbar using our Crosslink sections. Now you can assemble this in a straight
or curved configuration. To see an in-depth video on how to assemble our Crosslink system, check
the video in the description below. Once you have your lightbar assembled, we can head to the front
of the vehicle. We'll be taking our heavy-duty, single output harness and connecting our positive
and negative lead to the battery. Then we can take our relay and mount it up and out of the
way from any hot or moving parts. Next we'll take our switch and run it through the firewall into
the cab to the location of your choice. Now we'll be routing our DT connector. We'll be removing two
T30 Torx bolts from this panel so we can run our DT underneath, up the A-pillar, and to the roof.
Once we have a good amount of our harness pulled through, we can take a piece of tape
and stick our DT connector on the roof so it stays in place while we're mounting our
bracket. Now we can grab a T40 Torx bit and remove the six bolts on this panel.
Now we won't actually be removing this panel so we want to keep a hand on it so it stays in place.
With our six bolts removed we can take our included rubber pads and align them with the holes
on our trim panel. To make this easier we'll be using a small piece of tape to hold them in place.
With our rubber pads in place, we can go ahead and grab a friend to help us install the bracket.
We'll be using one T40 Torx bolt that's included with the kit in the bottom hole on the front
of the bracket. Then we can reuse five of the factory bolts in the remaining holes.
We'll leave them just hand tight and secure them down all the way once the lightbar is bolted on.
With our bracket installed on the passenger side, we can repeat the same steps and install the other
bracket on the driver's side of the vehicle. Once we've installed both brackets, we're going to have
our friend help mount the lightbar to our brackets by using the supplied 10 millimeter flange bolts.
Once you have those just hand tight, you can make adjustments to set your desired
angle for your lightbar. When you're done with that, you can go ahead and tighten down those
flange bolts and then grab a five millimeter Allen and tighten down the two end mounts.
Next we'll have our friend pull outward on the lightbar to create tension
so we can install two bump stops using a 13 millimeter wrench and a 13 millimeter socket.
Now that we have our lightbar mounted, we can tighten down our T40 Torx bolts on both brackets.
Now we can hook up all of our DT connectors into the back of our SS5s.
With everything hooked, up you can now secure any excess wiring however you see fit,
remove any tape from the installation, and then reinstall our two T30 Torx bolts on this panel.
Not only is the SS5 the highest intensity five-inch led pod on the market, but by
linking eight combo optics together you're giving yourself an absolutely insane increase in output
downrange and directly in front of the vehicle while off-roading. Along with that output, you'll
also get a backlight with eight selectable color options. These were completely designed tested and
assembled right here in St. Louis, Missouri with durability in mind, including our single-piece,
CNC aluminum Crosslink brackets. If you're looking for an SS5 Crosslink Lightbar Kit for your vehicle
