Any wind noise with the BAMF mount?
Just got them installed tonight and this light bar does increase the wind noise. Noticeably at 45 mph and faster. They sat lower on my Jeep and there wasn’t additional wind noise, but these sit much higher.

Look good!! Do you have a bow in them or did you go straight across? I've got mine setup with a slight bow, but don't have my Bronco yet to try out.

I do have a bow in mine as well. I kept it set up exactly how I had them on my Jeep Wrangler. I will post a pic when I get home of how much they are curved.

Hey, following this thread.... I installed a 40" curved lightbar.

The wind noise is there, not sure if theres much that can be done with that. Shopping for options / devices to reduce. Thoughts..... thx!

Here is a picture that shows the amount of curve in my light bar.

Definitely more curve than what I'm currently set at. I'll just have to see what I need to do once I get a Bronco here. May have to adjust more. Looks like it follows the curve of the windshield pretty well.

I adjusted mine for straight across. The 4 center lights are spots and the 2 outsides on each side are wide beam. Didn't think it would benefit me to be bowed and having light going everywhere. I would think there would be enough residual light thrown by this bar to give you plenty of coverage without the bow. I'll see how it mounts up in a week or so.

Yeah you will be good, this thing puts out so much light, it’s truly amazing. What color bronco are you getting? I just made some vinyl stickers to cover the yellow “KC” on the covers (I had silver on before to match my Jeep), but now have the dark gray to match my bronco and it looks so much better.

The light set up looks great. Curious if anyone has looked into the 6 light set up instead of the 8. Anybody? I know the picture I’m attaching is 5 lights and not KC lights but I think it looks pretty clean shorter in width.

I did use the upfiitter switch but I did not use the pre run wire at the top of the A pillar. There was really no good place to ground it up there, so I decided to tuck the wires behind the windshield and into the engine bay and over to the aux wires on the drivers side. Wiring it up to the switch was super easy.

fitted bar is KC lights and brackets are Baja.. I'm sure they love that hahah
Was the bar the perfect size? Nothing adjusted. Can those bars be trimmed if necessary?
