Insanely Bright ~ V2 Bracket Light Bar using OEM Mounts by Unplugged Performance

[denniscw]

I just had the Unplugged Performance V2 light bar installed on my Cybertruck, and it’s easily the best lighting upgrade I’ve seen.

The double-row LED setup puts out nearly 40k lumens, which is noticeably brighter and wider than single-row competitor bars.
The V2 brackets mount cleanly using the factory points so it looks OEM rather than after market.

Installation was truly plug-and-play with Tesla’s 48V system—and the design is sick. Really high quality.

On dark back roads it completely eliminates shadows, making it ideal for off-road or low-visibility driving.
For the price, $845, it is an insane value over the competition imo.

Check it out and let me know what you think

It looks set back pretty far. Do all the lights have a clear line of sight over the roof/windshield top? Or is it reflecting off the top?

That was my first thought

Yeah my Tsportline one is much closer to the front of the roofline

Yup! clear line of sight!

I don’t love the idea of clogging up a crossbar location, but at least you know it’s not going to come unglued lol

It is pointing up some. Can it be adjusted to shoot where you desire.

Agree. Same issue I have with the xkglow. An ideal mount would be tied in there but be thin enough you could still put the oem or aftermarket crossbar on there too.
You might give up the ability to use a full bed cap or sport rack but at least you’d have functional crossbars.

So for reference, a pro baseball diamond is lit at 1000 lumens per square meter.
40k lumens? Really.
I hope never to see one of these headed towards me on any trail.
I’m pretty sure Bambi and family feel the same way.
On the bright side (sorry, can’t help the pathological dad jokes), you would be very easy to find. From many miles away. Or an aircraft. Possibly space.

To be fair, there’s a whole lot more than 40 square meters to a baseball field, and the OEM lightbar is supposed to light up 5 football fields. Also, I just happen to know from the world of guns and gunlights, lumens are sort of a made up thing. There isn’t a super solid way to measure them so it’s just kinda whatever the manufacturer says. It’s hard to explain and kinda weird.

Agree. This is the best light out there. Tested in the desert darkness where it illuminated a recovery scene! Real world tested! Attached video says it all !

Impressive

I love my XKglow. I believe it's the best out there.

The profile is perfect - no double-sided tape or anything

It even has a DRL (not the flood light)
The rubber fits perfectly against the glass.

The best part is that the DRL is Bluetooth-ed to allow it to be controlled by the same app as all of the other lights.
