Harness Installation
Refer to Figure 1 for the harness drawing referenced in this instruction.
1. Remove the negative (-ve) cable from the vehicle batery (or bateries if applicable).
2. Lay out the harness in the engine bay and mount the four fuse holders in a convenient location. Please
note, if required, the three blade fuses can be stacked together.
3. Feed the LCM connector on the harness through a grommet on the firewall and pull through into the
vehicle cabin. To assist, it is recommended to fold back the cable and pull the connector through tail
first. If required, apply lubricant.
4. Securely mount the LCM behind the vehicle dashboard with cable ties or fasteners.
5. Connect the LCM connector with the harness connector.
6. Mount the switch in a convenient location on the vehicle dashboard. Ensure the dashboard surface is flat
and smooth. ARB recommends using M Primer 94 to prepare the dashboard surface for good adhesion.
Various mounting options are available for this switch:
a. The switch cable can be rotated rearwards for hidden cable installation. A hole in the dashboard is
required for the cable.
b. The switch cover can be removed and the ARB buton rotated for reverse installation. This will place
the QS and QS butons at the top rather than at the botom of the switch.
c. Removing the switch cover gives access to screw holes inside the switch for screwing onto the
mounting surface.
7. Connect the switch connector with the LCM connector.
8. Connect high beam trigger connector with the vehicle high beam wire. This connector suits ARB
plug-and-play headlight connectors (purchased separately). If the vehicle has alternative headlight
connectors, cut the connector and join the yellow wire with the vehicle high beam wire.
9. For all negatively switched headlamp vehicles, complete this step. Otherwise, continue to Step 10. On
the harness, cut and remove the connector from the high beam trigger connector (yellow) wire. Obtain a
switching relay and connect the relay terminals as per below:
Relay Terminal Connection
85 Vehicle positive high beam wire
86 Vehicle negative high beam wire
87 High beam trigger wire (yellow)
87a -
30 Vehicle ignition circuit

ARB INTENSITY IQ •USER MANUAL
10. The system active trigger wire can be connected to either the vehicle ignition circuit or vehicle
illumination circuit. When the vehicle has automatic headlights, ARB recommends connecting
to the vehicle ignition. When the vehicle has manually operated headlights, ARB recommends
connecting to the vehicle illumination circuit (parker). Note, this wire switches on the LCM and
when switched of, activates the driving lights courtesy feature.
11. Connect the driving light connectors to the harness connectors.
12. Connect the driving lights terminal and LCM terminal to the batery positive terminal.
13. Connect the ground terminals to a suitable ground point on the vehicle body or chassis. Do not
connect directly to batery negative.
14. Secure all cables, check all connections.
15. Ensure the vehicle headlamps are switched OFF and reconnect the negative (-ve) cable to the
batery.
16. Check full operation of the driving lights including the below.
a. Vehicle ignition or headlights on and of should turn switch on and of. When turning ON,
the switch should flash to indicate LCM reboot. When turning OFF, the courtesy feature
should operate.
b. Vehicle high beams on and of should turn driving lights on and of.
c. Pressing the switch buton on and of (ARB logo) should turn the switch on and of.
d. Scrolling through the switch positions (1-6, QS and QS) should change the light output.

Step 1
Remove light from mount (discard paper washers) and place the mount onto the bull bar or flat mounting
surface. Align with suitable mounting holes on the bull bar. Where no holes are available, use mount to mark
new holes and drill accordingly. Add rust prevention to drilled holes.
Locate mount hardware provided in kit. For the two outside holes, use two M× socket head cap
screws, M washers and M nyloc nuts. For the centre hole, use M screw, M washer and M nyloc
nut (Figure 2).
Insert the centre screw into the mount and keep loose to allow for adjustment. Align the mount forward
facing and ensure the light will illuminate straight down the road. Insert the remaining two screws and
tighten all screws to the torque specified in Table 1.
Step 2
Feed light cable through mount and bull bar hole. Place the light into the mount as shown in Figure 3.
Align the mount and light housing holes. Insert two M× security fasteners with M washers and M
spring washers. Loosely tighten to allow for adjustment.
Please note, the lights are factory set with light numbers 1 and 2. How the lights are installed (let or right) is
not crucial, however ARB recommend #1 is let and #2 is right to match the app layout. A sticker is afixed
to each light stating its factory set light number.
Step 3
Point the vehicle toward a flat wall and switch the driving lights on.
For vertical adjustment, measure the light output height on the wall
and compare with the driving light height on the vehicle. The two
measurements should be similar depending on user preference.
Once satisfied with the height position, use the security tool provided
to tighten the two security fasteners fixing the light to the mount.

Light Installation

ARB INTENSITY IQ •USER MANUAL
Using the Switch
The driving lights are fully customisable where the four internal optics can be controlled with either the
switch, smartphone app or ARB LINX. The switch has factory setings pre-installed that provide a variety of
light outputs depending on the switch position selected. The factory setings are listed in Table 2.
Lights ON and OFF
To turn the driving lights ON and OFF, press the ARB buton at the centre of the switch.
Please note, the driving lights are linked with the vehicle high beam lights and will only operate when the
vehicle high beam lights are ON. Likewise, the system is active (the switch will operate and the app will
communicate) when the vehicle ignition or illumination is ON depending on how the harness was installed.
Adjusting the Light Output
The switch has eight light output options pre-installed (Table 2). The six switch positions (1 to 6) can be
selected by pressing the previous and next butons on the switch. The two switch positions (QS and QS)
can be selected by pressing the QS and QS butons respectively.
Courtesy Feature
The courtesy feature illuminates the driving lights for an amount of time when the vehicle ignition or
headlights are turned OFF. Using the app, the courtesy feature can be customised to cycle through the
switch positions for a selected amount of time. The courtesy feature can be deactivated by pushing and
holding the ARB buton while pressing the previous buton three times. The switch LEDs will flash three
times to indicate the courtesy change has occurred.
Euro Mode
Various countries require a certain light output for legal operation of driving lights. The driving lights have a
Euro mode that is compliant to UNECE R for legal operation in these countries. The Euro mode can be
activated and deactivated by pushing and holding the ARB buton while pressing the previous buton four
times. The Switch LEDs will flash four times to indicate the Euro change has occurred. When Euro mode is
active, the two outside LEDs on the switch will illuminate.
Factory Reset
To restore all factory setings, press and hold both the previous and next butons for five seconds. The
switch LEDs will flash six times to indicate the reset has occurred.

Using the ARB App
The driving lights are customisable using the app. This app is a free download from the iOS App Store or
Google Play, search “ARB IQ”. The app supports iOS version 13 or later and Android version 6.0 or later.
Once installed, the app can customise the switch setings with various parameters to you suit any driving
requirements.
Light Network
Unless there are multiple networks available, the app will connect automatically. Otherwise, the network
must be selected. Go to the configuration page, tap the gear wheel top right of page (see Figure 4). On the
configuration page, select “Network” (see Figure 5). This will open a new page where the light network can
be found by tapping the magnifying glass and selecting the network (see Figure 6). The app will download
all information from this network to the smartphone app.
Advanced Mode
The app is designed with two user modes, standard and advanced. The standard mode uses slide bars
to adjust the optics and brightness, whereas advanced mode uses grid table numbers to determine the
optical brightness. Additionally, the advanced mode can control individual light numbers. To select the
advanced mode, go to the configuration page and select “Advanced” (see Figure 5). This will open a
new page where the advanced mode can be selected.
Save and Undo Setings
To edit the setings on the home page, first select the required switch position and then tap the edit buton
(notepad image) at the top of page. This will allow access to make adjustments to the setings (see Figure 7).
Once all changes are complete, to save the changes to the switch, tap the save buton (tick image) at the
base of page. To restore the setings, without saving, tap the undo buton (undo image) at base of page.
Figure 4 Figure 5 Figure 6 Figure 7

ARB INTENSITY IQ •USER MANUAL
Adjusting the Optic Brightness
The standard app home screen contains two slide bars (see Figure 7). To increase or decrease the overall
brightness of the lights, slide the brightness slide bar let and right respectively. To decrease or increase
the light spread (spot and flood), slide the spread slide bar right and let respectively.
The advanced app home screen contains a grid table (see Figure 8). Here the brightness of each optic
and each light number can be individually adjusted. Tapping the light name (top row of table) will select
all optics with that light number, tapping the optic (first column of table) will select that optic for all light
numbers, tapping the multilight image (top let image in table) will select all optics and all light numbers,
and tapping individual optics (cell within table) will select that optic only. Once the correct selection
is made, the increase and decrease brightness butons can be tapped to increase and decrease the
brightness in 5% increments. Please note, the lights cannot operate all optics at full brightness due to
heat limitations, thus the light current draw is limited to 13 amps. If a selection is made beyond this limit,
the non-selected optics will decrease in brightness to keep the light output below this limit. The current
draw is shown beneath each light number for reference.
Fade Feature
The driving lights are designed with a fade feature. With this feature, the lights will change to the switch
position brightness slowly depending on the fade time set. Each switch position can have a fade time set.
To adjust the fade time, select and edit the requested switch position, then tap the fade time (see Figure 9).
Make the required adjustment to the fade time and save changes.
Courtesy Feature
The driving lights are designed with a courtesy feature. With this feature, the lights will illuminate as per
the switch positions ater the vehicle ignition (or illumination depending on the install) is turned OFF. The
courtesy will operate from switch position 1 to switch position QS in sequence. Each switch position can
have a courtesy time set on the home page. To adjust the courtesy time, select and edit the requested
switch position, then tap the courtesy time (see Figure 9). Make the required adjustment to the courtesy
time and save changes. To remove a switch position from the courtesy sequence, set the courtesy time to
zero. Any switch positions with zero time are not included in the courtesy sequence.
The two spot optics are restricted to 10% brightness or less when using the courtesy feature. The app will
ensure this limit is not exceeded.
Override Feature (Work Light)
The driving lights are designed with an override feature. With this feature, the lights can be illuminated as
per the chosen switch position without the vehicle high beam lights being on. This feature can only be
used for switch positions QS and QS. To set the override, select and edit the requested switch position,
then tap the Override ON buton (see Figure 9).
ARB recommends changing the optical brightness to suit a work light luminescence.
The high beam trigger to operate driving lights is a legal requirement in most countries, thus the override
feature must not be operated on public roads and/or areas.
The two spot optics are restricted to 10% brightness or less when using the override feature. The app will
ensure this limit is not exceeded.

Courtesy Enabled/Disabled
The courtesy feature can be disabled using the app. This will disable the courtesy feature even when
courtesy times are allocated to switch positions. To enable/disable the courtesy feature, go to the
configuration page and select “Courtesy” (see Figure 5). This will open a new page where the courtesy
feature can be enabled/disabled.
Euro Mode
Various countries require a certain light output for legal operation of driving lights. The driving lights have
a Euro mode that is compliant to UNECE R for legal operation in these countries. To activate/deactivate
the Euro mode, go to the configuration page and select “Euro” (see Figure 5). This will open a new page
where Euro mode can be activated/deactivated.
Switch Response Time
While scrolling through the various switch positions, the app can implement a delay before the selected
switch position is activated. This avoids unwanted flashing of each switch position until the required
position is selected. To adjust the time delay between switch positions, go to the configuration page and
select “Switch” (see Figure 5). This will open a new page where the switch response time can be adjusted.
Restore Factory Setings
The driving lights have factory setings pre-installed. All setings can be restored to the original factory set-
tings using the app. To complete the factory reset, go to the configuration page and select “Restore Factory
Setings” (see Figure 5). This will open a new page where the factory restore can be completed. Please
note, ater the factory reset all customised setings will be lost.
The factory setings are listed in Table 2.
Figure 8 Figure 9 Figure 10
Using the App (cont)

ARB INTENSITY IQ •USER MANUAL
Light Numbers
Each individual light is assigned with a light number, where the light numbers have unique customised setings.
There are up to three light numbers available in the app and a maximum of two lights can have the same
light number. Thus, the network can accommodate six lights total. The driving lights can behave diferently
depending on their light number.
When two lights are installed, they should be set as Light 1 and Light 2. When a third light is installed, it should
be set as Light 3. The lights are factory set with these light numbers but can be changed using the app.
The app can illuminate all lights set with a certain light number. Go to the configuration page and select
“Light Setup” (see Figure 5). To illuminate all lights of a certain light number, turn the driving lights ON and
tap the light number (see Figure 10). Only the lights with that light number will illuminate for a period of time.
The light numbers can be renamed in the app. To rename, press and hold the light number.
The light numbers can be hidden on the app home page (advanced mode). When certain light numbers do
not have any lights allocated, the light number should be hidden to simplify the home page. Check the tick
boxes for light numbers where lights are allocated, and uncheck where no lights are allocated.
The order of the light numbers on the home page can be adjusted. The light number to be listed first should
be at the top of the list. The light number to be listed last should be at the botom of the list. To reorder the
list, tap the up arrows adjacent the light number to raise that light number in the hierarchy.
To change a light to a diferent light number, follow the below procedure:
1. Turn the vehicle ignition and headlights OFF.
2. Disconnect all lights from the harness.
3. Connect only the light that requires the light number change to the harness (one light only).
4. Turn the vehicle ignition and headlights ON.
5. In the app, go to the configuration page and select “Light Setup”.
6. Choose the required light number from the list and tap “Set” for that light number.
7. Follow the instructions to complete the light number change in the app.
8. Turn the vehicle ignition and headlights OFF.
9. Reconnect all lights to the harness again.
10. Turn the vehicle ignition and headlights ON.
11. Complete steps 1 to 10 for each light requiring a light number change.
