Hey everyone, DennisCW here! If you're a fan of Tesla mods and off-road adventures, you're in for a treat. In my latest video, I dove deep into one of the most exciting upgrades I've added to my Tesla Cybertruck: the roof-mounted light bar from Unplugged Performance. I've been buzzing about this one for a while, and now that I've got some nighttime footage, I wanted to share all the details in this blog post. From build quality to insane brightness, this light bar is a game-changer. Let's break it down!
First off, shoutout to Unplugged Performance for creating what I believe is one of the best value light bars on the market for the Cybertruck. Priced at just $845, it's not only affordable but packs a serious punch in terms of quality and performance. If you use my promo code link in the video description, you can snag an even better deal after signing up.
What sets this apart from other brands? The build quality is top-notch. We're talking machined brackets that feel premium and sturdy, ensuring it mounts beautifully on the Cybertruck's roof. It's a double-row LED setup with over 44,000 lumens – yeah, you read that right. That's insanely bright! Plus, it's adjustable, so you can angle it just right for your needs, whether you're lighting up trails or just showing off.
Compared to some of the cheaper alternatives out there, this one blows them away. No flimsy materials or subpar wiring here – it's built to last and integrates seamlessly with the Cybertruck's factory system. Turning it on is as simple as hitting the power feed. I demoed it during the day, and even then, it was blindingly bright, illuminating trees and the road ahead like it was nothing.
Before the sun set, I couldn't resist flipping it on for a quick test. Mounted perfectly on the front of the Cybertruck, it ties right into the existing wiring for easy control. The moment I powered it up – whoa! It lit up the area so intensely that I had to turn it off to avoid blinding passersby. Even in broad daylight, you could see it cutting through and brightening up the surroundings. It's clear this isn't just any light bar; it's designed for serious visibility.
Now, the real fun began once it got dark. I headed out to some industrial roads near the LA River – I chickened out on going too deep into the river area because, let's be real, it's a bit sketchy at night. But these spots were perfect for testing.
With the Cybertruck's headlights on, the light bar complements them beautifully. It shines high and wide, illuminating the top areas that standard lights might miss. I toggled it on in a pitch-black tunnel, and bam – the entire space lit up like daytime. The double rows of LEDs create this menacing, powerful beam that's perfect for backroads, camping, or any off-grid adventures.
I compared it side-by-side: headlights alone, light bar alone, and both together. The difference is night and day (pun intended). The top light bar is way brighter than the bottom one, flooding the area with light. If you're into overlanding or just want to light up a whole campsite, this thing is a beast. Pro tip: Don't use it on public roads at night – it's that powerful!
Overall, this Unplugged Performance light bar has exceeded my expectations. It's high-quality, easy to install, and delivers unreal brightness for the price. My Cybertruck looks even more intimidating now, and I can't wait to take it on more adventures.
