Perfect Jeep Wrangler JK Light Bar Fitment

The SS5 Windshield CrossLink Lightbar Kit for the 2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK from Diode Dynamics allows you to mount eight linked SS5 LED Pods as a powerful light bar above the windshield of the Jeep Wrangler JK.

The application-specific brackets that hold the SS5 CrossLink light bar were CAD-designed to bolt into place using factory mounting points near the windshield. This allows you to mount an LED Light Bar without any cutting or drilling!

The strong, powder-coated steel brackets of this SS5 CrossLink LED Light Bar Kit also have an additional bonus. Ditch light mounting points are built into the brackets!

These points allow you to easily add SS3 LED Pods to your Jeep Wrangler JK off-road lighting arsenal without any additional mounting brackets.

CrossLink Technology

Our patent-pending CrossLink technology allows you to link the eight SS5 LED Pods included in the SS5 Windshield CrossLink LED Light Bar Kit together to create a single Jeep JK lightbar.

Unlike other generic LED light bars that use multiple pieces to link pods together, we have designed a single-piece CNC aluminum link.

The CNC aluminum links allow the light bar to be extremely rigid, while still accommodating both straight and curved configurations of the LED light bar.

Thanks to the inset threaded mounts built into every SS5 LED Light Pod, there is no need to buy a special linking version of the SS5 to assemble this light bar. 

Designed for Performance

The SS5 CrossLink LED Light Bar Kit features the highest output intensity of any light bar on the market. It is designed for maximum functionality, with patented technology and custom-engineered TIR optics, all in a durable package. 

Generic light bars for Jeep Wranglers use inefficient reflectors, spreading a little bit of light in every direction. This leads to a loss of light internally and glare. 

The TIR Optics utilized in the SS5 CrossLink Light Bar collect all of the light from the LEDs and directs it only where you need it.

This efficient collection and focus of the emitted light drastically reduces glare and allows the SS5 CrossLink Light Bar Kit to shine light in a focused pattern, making it the best Jeep JK light bar on the market.

Sport or Pro Light Bar Power Levels

The SS5 CrossLInk LED Light Bar Kit is available at two different power levels:

• Sport
• Pro

Both of these Jeep JK LED Light Bar power level options use high-intensity LED emitters, and TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optics for unmatched focus and overall output.

The Sport model uses nine Luxeon Z ES LED chips for 40 Watts of total power which delivers 4,800 lumens of raw light output from each LED Pod. 

The Pro model ups the ante in a big way, utilizing nine Cree XP-L HI LEDs with double the total output at 90 Watts. This allows for an astonishing 9,700 lumens of raw light output from each SS5 LED pod in this eight-pod SS5 CrossLink LED Light Bar!

Functional Beam Pattern

The SS5 Windshield CrossLink LED Light Bar beam pattern was designed with advanced optical simulation modeling, to shape the powerful light output into a highly-functional beam pattern with high efficiency. 

The Combo pattern of the CrossLInk Light Bar for the Jeep Wrangler JK combines both the Driving and Flood optics, making it perfect for all-around use. It shines light downrange in a focused 30x20 Driving beam to punch with distance and fills in the surrounding area to create a full 70x30-degree pattern.

With a row of driving optics in the middle and a flood optic on the top and bottom, the CrossLink LED Light Bar provides optimal lighting for virtually every off-road adventure. 

White or Yellow Light Color

The SS5 Windshield CrossLink LED Light Bar for the Jeep Wrangler JK is available in a cool white or selective yellow light color.

The White kit features a 6000k color temperature, which is a true cool white output, and matches most factory LED lighting.

The selective Yellow kit is a 3000k color temperature and is great for high contrast in poor weather or a distinctive yellow look for your Jeep Wrangler JK.

Selectable Backlight Color

The SS5 CrossLink Led Light Bar features a selectable backlight with eight different color options:

• Blue
• Red
• Teal
• Amber
• Green
• Purple
• Yellow
• White

This makes this Jeep JK LED Light Bar perfect for an eye-catching extra styling accent or more visibility when you're not using the main beam.

Selecting the backlight color for your Jeep Wrangler JK LED light bar is easy — simply alternate the power on and off. There's no complicated programming with a controller! The SS5's backlight fully illuminates the TIR optic, providing unique accent lighting that you won't find on any other light bar for the Jeep Wrangler.

Note: Due to the yellow lens, the Yellow kit is only available with an Amber backlight color. 

Interchangeable Lens

Need a different beam pattern or color for your SS5 CrossLink LED Light Bar? You can easily change it yourself!

We offer replacement lenses that allow you to change the color or optic of your Jeep JK LED Light Bar.  

Snap-on Covers

For states that require them, we also offer snap-on covers for your SS5 Jeep JK LED Light Bar kit. These covers are available in a variety of colors and keep the CrossLink LED light bar clean and protected from dirt, dust, or whatever else the road throws your way!

Rugged Reliability

The SS5 CrossLink LED Light Bar has been extensively tested for long-term operation in temperatures from -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit.

Each LED Pod in the kit is torture tested against vibration and corrosion so that you can trust your CrossLink LED light bar will continue functioning on any off-road trail you tackle.

All of these tests are completed to SAE standards, just like factory components, making this Jeep JK LED Light Bar every bit as rugged and reliable as the vehicle it is designed for.

The SS5 CrossLink LED Light Bar for the Jeep Wrangler JK has also been designed and tested to ensure it has an IP69K Waterproof rating. This means that it is not only completely waterproof but able to stand up to high-temperature, high-powered cleaning!

If your LED Light Bar gets muddy during an off-road adventure, you won't have to worry about harming it at the car wash.
