was pretty easy to install and instead of wiring it the way they preferred around the frame and along the b pillar ..I drilled a hole through the front of the windshield below where the cowl is and the wires went through nicely without any issues or ugliness. There is no wind noise what so ever and I first installed around mid summer when I had the soft top on. They are exactly what I wanted ..low profile and plenty bright enough..they came with 2 switches so that u can use it with 2 lights on or 4 or all six but I just mounted them to my switch pod that I bought for the drivers side a frame and have all my lights running off of it ..clean and at easy reach ...the only thing that I would suggest if you purchase is after installing and before tightening you will need a second person to push it as far forward as u can and then tighten while they are pushing because it is very close to the windshield and it will do damage when out on a trail by twisting and putting stress on the glass if it touches. ..here are some pics of where I routed the wires and the closeness of the main housing

Wires routed through cowl
U can see them on left they run down the arm of the bar that just attaches to the actual windshield frame bolts the ones you'd remove if u wanted to lower your windshield.

They came with light covers that had delta written on them which was overkill so I sprayed them flat black ...now I don't even use them I keep them in the back duffle
