Today we are installing Classic Design Concepts black light bar fitting all 2015 Convertible Mustangs. One of the more popular upgrade for Mustang convertibles has been a light bar, inspired by the look of the '67 Shelby convertible. CDC has created some great looking light bars for earlier models and we could wait to install one on the 2015.

CDC designed this light bar to flow with the curves and natural lines of your S550 Mustang. The high mounted LED light provides added safety with a highly visible 4th brake light, that does NOT illuminate when the top is up.

Engineering begins with the construction of sturdy 1-1/4" round steel tubing with a 1/8" wall thickness. Polyurethane is then molded around the tube and finishes hand-wrapped in vinyl, vinyl designed to match the grain of your car's interior trim. The light bar is supplied with the necessary brackets that mount to the B pillars giving the light bar a sturdy mount and also help with stiffening the body.

Installation was pretty straight forward, there is is some cutting into the factory plastic and you may want some assistance getting the bar into place. Once installed the CDC light bar looks fantastic, it really gives our 2015 convertible that race inspired look and the 4th brake light works perfectly as an added safety feature.

*The CDC Light Bar is NOT intended for rollover protection.

Steve,
Great video of the installation. How popular have CDC (or other brands?) light bars been on previous Mustang convertibles?
Thanks

7 1/4" MINIMUM length allen wrench (1/4") required!

CJ Pony Bill mentions using a 6" 'T' handle in the video to tighten bar into the bracket. My 6" 'T' handle was not long enough. A friend had a 12 " long allen wrench that I borrowed. I measured the length neededto reach the allen set screw and clear the plastic interior pieces and found the set screw was 7 1/4" in.

I was unable to find an allen wrench online or at Home Depot longer than 6". Glad my friend had one!

If anyone knows a source for a 1/4" allen wrench longer than 7 1/4". please let us know for future installers of the CDC light bar.

I love mine. :eek:)

Thanks for the info on the Allen wrench. I love the look of the lightbar. I was wondering about wind noise created by these, any concerns? Also does it become a pain dealing with the back seat access? Any wind screens available?

Steve this is a terrific how to video! Great job. It sure helped with my speaker install.

Regards,

Chris
