The problem/solution to this issue is the relay. A new one can be purchased at Autozone for $5. You would need a 40 amp relay.

Because all light bars have fins for cooling, all makes and brands have a chance to whistle at highway speed, but I have great news! You can almost completely eliminate this howling or screeching noise. Better news, it will cost you less than $10 and 15 minutes. The entire noise is coming from the wind whipping past the cooling blades on the back of your new LED light bar. Though you need air to move around and past your light bar for cooling, you don’t need so much you can’t hear your stereo!

Go to any local hardware store and purchase a door seal kit. You are NOT looking for the foam surrounds, but rather the rubber flap (about 1 to 1.5″ wide) that goes on the bottom of the door. Here are the ones we have had great success using (once installed you can hardly see them so we typically use the brown version).

White (you will need 2):

Be sure to get the version with the tape vs the nail on! You will obviously need 2 as they are 36″ long and your light is about 50″. We install them by putting them between the first and second blades on the top of the light bar, nearest the windshield. Simply install the first 36″ strip to the light bar then measure and cut the second strip. Be sure that you match the uncut edge to the other strip to create a clean look at the joint, the cut end will hide better up against the end of the light bar.

These strip will GREATLY reduce, if not completely eliminate the noise! Better yet it’s less than $10, 15 minutes, and you can hardly see it.

Check back on this one often we will keep adding pics of different temperature lights and styles of light bars and beam angles as we get more pics.

TIP 1: Have a professional install your HID kit.

TIP 2: Ensure dirt, oil, and other contaminates do not come in contact with the bulbs. NEVER touch the HID bulb, always wear clean gloves when handling.

TIP3: Remember that HID bulbs need to ‘burn in’. When you first fire the bulb leave it on for a full 10 minutes to properly burn in the bulb.

TIP4: HID bulbs do not like to be turned on, then quickly off, then back on. If you have day light driving lights that turn on when you turn the ignition, then off at start up, then on again once started – you will want to spend the $20 on eBay and purchase a relay harness designed for your vehicle to preserve your HID bulbs.

Again we encourage our customers to seek professional installation and accept no responsibility for product or vehicle damage if this advice is ignored.

Here are some helpful diagrams or our HID systems.

One of the most common issues is flipping the plug on the ballast or accidentally connecting the wrong wires. HIDs only work if the positive and negative are exactly correct. Some times the best thing to try is flipping the plug on the ballast.

Please remember we recommend professional installation for best results.
