The Hood LED Light Bar Kit for the 2018-2023 Jeep JL Wrangler or the 2020-2023 Jeep JT Gladiator allows you to mount a 50" Stage Series LED light bar across the hood of your vehicle for a substantial increase in off-road light output.
The 50" Stage Series LED Light Bar included in the kit features enhanced TIR Optics that efficiently focus the output of the LED light bar to prevent any glare from bouncing off of the hood, even with the low mounting position! The kit is available in both a 6000K Cool White or a brilliant 2000K Amber color for high contrast to cut through fog and other inclement weather conditions.
The application-specific brackets included in the Jeep Wrangler and Jeep Gladiator Hood LED Light Bar Kit were CAD-designed to install using factory mounting points for easy installation. No cutting or drilling required! The custom-designed low-profile brackets won't block the visibility of the driver or interfere with the windshield wipers.
The following installation guide will provide you with detailed instructions on how to install the Hood LED Light Bar Kit for the 2018-2023 Jeep JL Wrangler or the 2020-2023 Jeep JT Gladiator. Check out the Installation Video, or continue reading for step-by-step instructions below!

Installation Tools
- T40 Torx driver
- 10mm Socket
- Wire Strippers
- Wire Crimper
Mounting Instructions
Step 1 - Remove Bolts.
On either side of the vehicle, remove the two factory bolts (circled in yellow below) as indicated using a T40 Torx driver.
Tip: If you’re planning on running wires, you can remove the bottom two bolts to remove the panel completely. Route your wires out next to the windshield hinge, then reinstall the trim piece.
Step 2 - Place Spacers.
Place the included spacers over both mounting points.
Step 3 - Secure Brackets.
Align the bracket in place, and use the included OEM-style extended hardware to secure. Repeat for the other side of the vehicle.
Step 4 - Mount LED Light Bar.
Mount your 50” Stage Series LED Light Bar to the brackets using the low-profile hex bolts included in the universal mounting bracket box. Secure using a 10mm socket.
Wiring Instructions
The following instructions are for Jeep JL Wranglers with an Auxiliary Switch Bank. If you do not have the Auxiliary Switch Bank, use the included toggle switch adapter wire to route a switch. All power sources must be fused.
Step 5 - Mount Relay.
Determine a suitable location to mount the relay (A), near the battery or main power terminal.
Step 6 - Connect to Power.
Connect the red power input wire (V) to the positive battery/power terminal. Connect the black ground wire to the negative battery terminal or a factory grounding point (G).
Step 7 - Connect to Switch.
At the white connector, unplug the switch wires from the harness, and connect the extra pigtail here instead. Using the butt connector at the end of the pigtail, crimp the yellow wire to an OEM Auxiliary Switch wire lead (AUX).
NOTE: Power will be drawn from the battery, so any OEM Auxiliary Switch wires can be used, regardless of amperage rating.
Step 8 - Route Wiring.
Route the output wire to the LED light bar, avoiding any moving parts or direct contact with heat sources. Plug the output connector into the LED light bar.
Step 9 - Test Function.
Secure the wires and test thoroughly to complete your installation.
