Yes,really bad if your windshield is dusty.

so then is there any sort of fix to that, can they be angled differently? maybe a glare strip of tint would help or vinyl tape across the windshield ?

$379.27, free shipping.

Installed mine myself and saved $300. If you're not comfortable drilling into your Jeep, and don't feel comfortable wiring, take it to the dealer. It took me about 3.5 hours, but I was being very cautious.

I tried to order a new Renegade with heated seats (my wife likes them) but it automatically deleted the light bar which I like. My brother (inside man in Auburn Hills) checked with Jeep engineering who stated that both would "overload the system". So now I have this beautiful '07 Jeep Green Limited that I would like to add some lights to. The Renegade light bar or some Hellas. Does anyone know how to do this without "overloading the system"?

Just add it with a whole separeate relay and fuses. The Rennegade alternator should be fine with it unless the newer Rennys don't come witha higher output alternator.

Thanks! I'll make sure I have the HO alternator.

You might also think about not using the heaters and the lights at the same time.

Yes, in fact I did think of that and likely the two would never be used at the same time. I just like to do things right. Thanks for your thoughts.

I just thought this tid bit would fit in this thread.

I saw a Chevy Blazer witht he ZX2 offroad package on it...You know the bigger tires and a few extra goodies from the factory. Guess what he had mounted on top ot the little Blazer roof...

Yup, a KJ Renngade lightbar...it almost fits right...ALMOST.... :lol:
