Construction & Design

The SS5 Sport CrossLink Lightbar Kit is built with rugged CNC-machined aluminum components that provide extreme rigidity and resistance to vibration and impact. The single-piece aluminum link is fully adjustable, allowing for both straight and curved configurations to perfectly match your Jeep’s windshield contour. Each LED pod features a durable housing and a yellow lens designed to optimize light output and reduce glare in foggy or dusty conditions.

Diode Dynamics’ custom-engineered TIR optics maximize light efficiency by precisely shaping the beam pattern, delivering bright, focused illumination without wasted light scatter. The selectable backlight fully illuminates the TIR optic, creating a distinctive accent glow that enhances vehicle visibility and style during low-light conditions.
