designed for flush mounting on a vehicle’s exterior.
B. INSTALLATION.
1. etermine the desired mounting location. Using the
flange, scribe drill position marks on the mounting surface for
the 4mm mounting bolts. A 5-7/16" x 3-11/16" rectangular hole
is required for clearance. Center the rectangular hole between
the mounting holes.
CAUTION
Before drilling or cutting holes in ANY part of the
vehicle, be sure that both sides of the mounting
surface are clear of parts that could be damaged; such
as brake lines, fuel lines, electrical wiring or other
vital parts.
2. rill four mounting holes in the mounting surface.
Cut the clearance hole.
3. Secure the light assembly to the mounting surface
using the supplied hardware as shown in figure 1.
C. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS.
The flush mount scene light assembly is supplied
with a connector. The supplied mounting kit includes two
separate connectors and pins. One connector is the mating end
of the connector supplied with the light assembly. The other
connector is to be used on the user-supplied cable.
Locate the light assembly’s mating connector and
pins. Route the user-supplied cable into the light through the
rubber grommet on the rear of the housing. Crimp the supplied
pins on the user-supplied cable. See figure 2. Insert the pins in
the connector housing supplied in the kit and push until they
snap into place. The connector can now be plugged directly into
the flush mount light assembly. The other end of the user-
supplied cable connects to the power source.

effectiveness of the light. o not use cleaning agents
(which will cause crazing) such as strong detergents,
