When installing a light bar, the mounting system you choose is just as critical as the light itself. A solid bracket setup keeps your beam aligned, prevents movement, and ensures your lighting performs the way it was designed to — even through vibration, weather, and off-road punishment.

That's why every ALTIQ™ Hybrid Light Bar comes equipped with two mounting systems; our 316 stainless steel side brackets and rear sliding undermounts, giving you flexibility in how you install and position your light bar right out the box.

1. 316 Stainless Steel Side Brackets

The 316 stainless side brackets are built for strength, precision, and unmatched flexibility. Made from marine-grade stainless steel, they’re corrosion-resistant and designed to perform in harsh environments.

What makes these brackets stand out is their 360° rotation, which allows them to mount securely to almost any surface — even at an angle. Whether it’s a 30° bull bar support, a horizontal roof rail, or a 90° canopy panel, you can rotate and lock the brackets to match the mounting plane while still maintaining perfect beam alignment. Once positioned, they stay locked — no rattle, no shift, no compromise.

Best suited for:

• Installs without a central mounting surface (bull bars, roof racks, bumpers)

• Setups that require precise beam angle adjustment

• Installs on angled or uneven surfaces where flexible mounting angles are required

If you want a classic mounting setup with strong adjustability, these are your go-to.

2. Rear Sliding Undermount Brackets

For those who prefer a low-profile or stealth installation, the rear sliding undermounts are the perfect option. Built from high-pressure cast alloy, they slide into the rear channel of the light bar housing and lock in place with internal teeth that grip the housing securely.

The real advantage of the undermount design is its customisable spacing. You can move each bracket anywhere along the rear track, aligning perfectly with your mounting points — whether they’re close together or spaced wide apart. This makes the system adaptable to any setup without needing extra adaptors or drilling.

They also offer a practical tilt range (40°–75° and 255°–290°), giving you the ability to dial in your beam angle with precision. Whether you’re mounting under a rack, on an overhead surface, or compensating for a sloped plane, this adjustment range ensures your beam lands exactly where you want it — and stays locked in under vibration and harsh terrain.

Once tightened, the brackets hold firm against vibration and impact, keeping the bar locked in position. They’re ideal for roof racks, under-mount surfaces, or any location where a clean, integrated finish is desired.

Best suited for:

• Low-clearance or stealth installs

• Roof rack, tray, or canopy setups

• Mounting under or over a surface

• Users who want precise spacing control

Think of the undermount system as a sliding rail — instead of fixed holes, you have the freedom to place your brackets exactly where you need them.

3. Choosing the Right Mount

Both bracket systems serve different purposes but are equally capable. Your choice depends on your vehicle’s layout and your preferred mounting style.

When choosing between the two, consider how and where your light bar will be installed. Side brackets are best suited for angled surfaces or when your mounting points align with the full length of the light bar. Undermounts excel when mounting under or over a surface, allowing precise spacing adjustments and a sleek, low-profile fit.

4. Installing the Brackets

Installing the brackets is straightforward and doesn’t require special tools.

Side Brackets:

1. Mount each bracket to the end cap using the included hardware in the following order: Bolt → Split washer → Washer → Bracket → Spacer.

2. Leave the bolts slightly loose for angle adjustment, then rotate the light bar to your preferred beam angle and tighten evenly to secure.

Rear Sliding Undermount Brackets:

1. Assemble each bracket by placing the mounting bolt into the lower bolt hole of the bracket. Then insert the M6 hardware into the slot in the following order: Bolt → Split washer → Washer (use the plate for double row bars) → Bracket.

2. Screw the M6 nut onto the bracket by 1–2 threads, then insert the nut into the channel slot and tighten the M6 bolt to lock it into position.

3. Once installed, you can dial in your tilt by loosening the M6 bolt, rotating the light bar, and tightening it again — the teeth will lock securely into the light bar housing.

Both mounting systems deliver the same end goal — keeping your light bar securely fixed, perfectly aligned, and ready for anything. Whichever style you choose, you’ll get the same ALTIQ-engineered standard — built to handle vibration, impact, and the harshest conditions with precision and reliability.
