Light up CB Antennas!

Standing Wave Ratio on your CB.
You are running a pair of conductors wrapped around your antenna.
Most likely messing up the tuning of the antenna.
At a minimum, reducing it's pattern/range/sensitivity
Worst case, damaging the output transistors in your CB
As an analogy, think about how poor you cell phone reception would be if you wrapped the phone in Aluminum Foil...

Here you go guys! These are all the detailed pictures I have. If there is something more you want to see let me know! I used the brake assist plug with a 7 pin to 4 pin adapter then used a trailer plug to tap into the power there. My remotes allows me to turn them off and on so they won't automatically come on with the lights but the power is there.

I actually don't have a cb radio hooked up to these yet (haven't found one I like). Anyway these don't have the adjusters on the top of the antenna the only way to adjust is by using the adjustments on my radio (old antennas) the frequencies are much different though, so I can't see it messing with it to much other than maybe some slight static at the worse.
