No-drill Mabett Light Bar installed

[Headbanger]

I finally found some time to install the Mabett light bar that I scored on Black Friday. I read through the posts by some members here who did the install and was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was. The build quality seems to be made to last, however I don’t plan on using automatic car washes as some of those dryers are like little tornadoes.
They haven’t been adjusted yet but seem to be pretty spot on when centered in the cutouts. At any rate, I am happy with how they look as they are more sporty than aggressive. Thanks Mabett for yet another winning product!

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! It’s great that the installation went smoothly!

I really like the look of these MaBett lights. Most aftermarket light bars are of a universal fit which means they really don't fit any vehicle very well. Easy to see MaBett put some time and effort into the design. It's a good look for the Maverick. Thanks for posting.

Those look great! I can't believe you didn't have to screw anything in. Looking forward to trying those on my 25 Maverick!

I bought some other Mabett products that had iffy quality. At $330+ for this Mabett light set, I think I'll pass.

how's the wind noise at interstate speeds?

Great question as I had it out yesterday. There may have been some, but it wasn’t really noticeable unless listening for it. It certainly wasn’t distracting.

How does it attach?

Dang! Noice! Have I been pulling a Rumpelstiltskin and slept through knowing about this light bar? Wth?! Lol. Next on my list now.

I’m not aware of any increased volume or distinctly different sound.

The light bar use makes use of double-sided mounting tape. The top cover attaches to the base with two bolts and tape the length of the leading edge. No drilling! I have driven at 80+ moh and taken it through an automatic car wash. So far, we’re good.

Does the kit seem like quality? I made a post on someone else’s thread about possibly swapping out the lights for DD, or other. Especially in an amber option. Waiting to see if Mabett will give the dimensions.

That is a very subjective question. I put the light bar on par with any number of other Mabett products I have added to my build.. None have disappointed. I rank the light bar with Mabett’s bed divider as two of my favorite additions. Given the opportunity to redo my installation, I would change out several of the provided lights with amber replacements and wire them to my overhead switch panel to operate the colors separetly.

Thank you for the reply, Sir. I appreciate the feedback.

it's very common for light bars on broncos and similar vehicles to make a lot of wind noise. to the extent sometimes people remove them after finding this out firsthand.

they're often bigger than this, but not always.
