I so appreciate this video! I'm on my second OEM lightbar and it's been good for 4 or 5 years (back when you could buy a new one). If this one goes out, now I have the tools to fix it! Thanks again!

Hi Joe - did this job a while ago using the HBlom kit and they said that the middle PCBs very rarely fail, so replace the outer PCBs first, then test. They were right, so avoided the need to cut the 2 middle slots. keep up the great work :-)

Thanks! This one is a fully pre-wired, pre-made kit that doesn't reuse any of the factory things -- so reusing the middle PCBs isn't part of how it works. That definitely would make it easier though -- just replacing the outters. Does the HBlom kit replace the main board as well?

Hi Guys, just to let You know in most cases there is no need to purchase this overpriced kit, usually the genuine circuit board is perfectly fine and there is a matter to replace only some of the led's .Also sometimes if one pair of led,s (they are in pairs of 2 in each board 1 left 2 middle and one right) fail both of them then the whole light bar dim down so if You replace them then the rest could be in fully working state(that was my case for example). Led ultra bright chips or diodes are extremely cheap.If the circuit board fail then You can use dc-dc step down converter (buck) to get voltage from 12v down to Your led diodes (2,2-3v).Also remember start cutting from this side fully fail , also once Job done replace foam seals and spray pcb with clear varnish or specialist pcb spray (servisol 60) if You would like to be more fancy.Glue all cuts with sanitary silicone(easier later to remove if needed) Good Luck and All the Best from UK

I just installed these. Took me two days. Running the wires from the end to the center took the longest time. I ended up cutting a few sections in between in order to run them. It’s looks awesome now though.

You are a life saver sir. Although I found out the cuts on the left and right actually only need to be small

Thanks! I went off the size referenced in the instructions. The smaller the better of course, but you still need a large enough hole to position everything.

OK, I broke both clips! Had no clue what they look like how they fit that would’ve been so helpful in the video for you to show that part instead of leaving that part out.

So if you were to cut the holes just right, could you find and cut some slightly oversized pieces of thin plastic and just glue them down like band-aids that can later be razor-ed off when those components have to be replaced again? (Sorta like access-hatches.)

Would love to have seen them put that type of light bar across the NG9-3's. That would have looked wicked.

Joe, I wish you would’ve shown the clips coming out using the right angle tool, instead of just telling us how to do it and then lifting the light bar out. That would’ve been a valuable piece of video to show. Those damn clips are damn near impossible to get out! I would’ve liked to have seen how you did it. I borrowed a right angle needle nose pliers from my neighbor, but his were smaller and really did not work. I am just driving home from MENARDS and I hope these bigger ones actually work?

So still working on removing the lightbar. FIrst issue,: I can't get the wiring unplugged as you show on the video. Gotta be a trick, pulling on it does not work, and I have pressed every inch to unlock, but no luck just yet. 2Nd Issue, on of the five nuts is fused to its bolt, so they both turn together. No place to grip the bolt as I twist the nut. Should I sever from the trunk lid with a dremel or is there a better solution. Finally, I am having issues with the clips. Pain to get to for sure. even when I grip them they don;t release. I was advised that possibly they wont release until all five bolt/nuts are removed. Is that the case?

Hi Joe, I have a question for you.... Why I'm getting a turn ligth failure bulb but all the lights are blinking, yes it blinks normally but after a couple seconds, it does start to blink as a failure in one of the bulbs but I check all three (front, side and rear) and all are ok but blinking quicker than the normal.... Can you have any explanation of why......
@SaabDr

My guess is that one of the bulb holders is bad -- I'd pull out the rear bulb holder for the side that's giving you the error and check if it's melted. If it is I just made a video on how to install the LED Turn Signal light kit from GlafenSAAB and would recommend that.

Were those inner LEDs out of order as well? Usually those outer LEDs are the ones which are out of order and there's no need to replace the inner ones.
