Installed the Rigid 360's on my Bronco this weekend. They are pretty cool with the amber backlight and hookup was fairly easy, but I'm experiencing some serious wind noise upon doing so. It starts at about 20-30mph and goes all the way up. Super annoying. Anyone else with the same issues with pod lights? I had no wind noise previously. I know some have had issues with the mirrors, mine seemed OK before this mod.

I've been holding off on pod lights because I was concerned about noise. I haven't heard any else mention it though. Following.

Based off your past experiences, you should invest in some rock lightsā€¦

I didnā€™t notice any difference before and after installing my rigid 360s on the a-pillar. Not saying there wasnā€™t, but if there was itā€™s not noticeable or annoying.

No problems here either. Maybe try slightly adjusting pitch and yaw angles of the lights.

Also, mine are on a JCR bracket. I'd imagine small tweaks could potentially make a big difference in windflow/noise.

No noise on mine. I have the Ford Performance pods so no mounting bracket. I had the dual rigid bracket and setup and it would whistle so I went back to a single no bracket setup.

Same lights and no noise. Or maybe I just donā€™t notice over the hardtop wind noise.

No noise here either and it looks like we mounted them the same way.

I have a much harsher angle on mine, its set up to begin iluminating where my other front lights stop. The windnoise is there but nothing compared to tires amd hardtop noise.

Video of the whistle. Super annoying, I might have to take these things off.
