Any feedback from those that installed the Altiq single or double row lightbars?

[rocsteady]

Just wondering how they hold up. Still hoping to find a way to use my diode dynamics 30" but might go the Altiq route if they're holding up. Thanks.

My take so-far, favorable overall. Installed double row kit in early March.

1. Install - Easy and straightforward; no issues w/fitment or wiring
2. Build quality - 1st rate
3. Performance - As advertised, great 'color', light pattern & coverage
4. Warranty - Likely best seen so far

Pleased...recommeneded

Good to hear; exactly what I was looking for...

It's easily the best bolt on light bar on the market - no cutting or drilling, no crazy wiring, super easy install, great build quality and it's not overly expensive. Light performance is fantastic too.

It's an easy recommend and I don't know why you would bother going with anything else (unless you like the external look with brackets)

curious, what size light bar & any pics after install? Is the housing metal and glass lens?

Very happy with mine!

Just installed the double bar in a 2024 RR. No problems at all.

Just installed mine last night. Very easy to put in. Brackets aren't marked left or right so of course I had to swap them around. The directions say put the power lead on the passenger side but that would be the left side in Australia. The install video truck does not have the louvers so cable routing is slightly different, but not difficult.

Lots of light! I like it! The other light bars I have are inexpensive versions I put on my wife's Polaris Ranger and her tractor and they are both on top of the cabs, so it is difficult to compare. The construction seems of much higher quality.

they show sold out on altiq's site at the moment

I have the Supernova, and it's a nice light bar. Fit was good, install was relatively easy.

But...

Altiq told me they thought the bar would work with a high beam trigger, which was an important feature for me, but it does not for N. American manufactured RRs. I was suspicious from the outset that the NA trucks' AUX switches wouldn't work that way, due to a bit of google rumor, so I bought their pigtail relay harness for an extra $60, which they assured me would work, but it did not either. There's no 12V trigger signal in the pigtail that goes into the RR head lights.

I'm a little miffed at their customer service, which was a bit frustrating with communications. They were initially fairly responsive, but ended up ghosting me, and I still haven't figured out a way to slave the light to the high beams. Without that, I feel like I've wasted $360 on something I'll almost never use, due to poor/misleading info from Altiq.

That said, for those that don't care about high beam sync, it seems like a good light for the price.

I’m about to install mine. 32” Double row. Metal housing and Lexan lens (not glass). I still have the blue tape on the front until I install it but here are a few pics.

Lexan is fine, just didn't want some flimsy plastic letting water in. Didn't know a 32" would fit! Shame that they don't have a true amber led bar or even a combo bar. They sell amber led replacement bulbs but they won't work in the raptor. There prices are not bad at all.
Does that light bar have an option for which leds you want on or is it all at once?

Thanks for the update!

By the way, it takes a while to ship half way around the world. Ordered May 14 and received May 29. Not too bad from Australia, but alas for my impatience.

Altiq double row 32" stealth bar

Mine is holding up great. Zero issues whatsoever. The install was easy - also installed the brackets backwards first try. The build quality is top notch, nothing cheap about these.

Can't compare to others as this is my first light bar but it does what I'd expect. I do wish the light pattern cast just a little bit wider but I guess that's what ditch lights are for. They are bright and outshine the headlight brights quite a bit. Also annoying to other drivers in broad daylight, oops. I somehow manage to flip the switch accidentally from time to time. People let me know when I do lol.

Maybe you can recoup some of the $$$ by reselling the DD lights. I would be trying to reuse them as well but you'd have to mod the grill and structure quite a bit to get them to fit.
