Congratulations
You are now the owner of one of the finest
remote control searchlights available today.
Thank you for letting Golight® assist you in your
lighting application needs. We’re proud
of our products and the technology that
we’ve developed to ensure our customers
the most durable, versatile and powerful
searchlights in the lighting industry.
Please read these instructions before using
your new Golight® Stryker™ HID.

The Stryker™ HID is designed to permanently attach to a vehicle.
The 2-Speed Searchlight with Directional Flexibility is controlled
by a hard-wired dash control, which gives the operator a full 370°
horizontal rotation and a 135° vertical tilt with ngertip control.
The Stryker™ HID provides superior light penetration with the new
HID.
The Stryker™ HID Includes:
Stryker™ HID Searchlight
Dash Control
Wiring Harness
Rockguard
Permanent mounting gasket
Permanent mounting plate
Mounting Screws
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Light Unit
Determine the location for the light on your vehicle or boat.
Center the mounting plate with the vise screw on the mounting
plate to the back. Mark the hole locations for the three mounting
screws and drill a pilot hole for each with 1/8 inch bit. Fasten the
stainless steel mounting plate with the 3 #10 – 16x3/4 type AB
cross recessed pan head tapping screws. Drill a 5/8 hole in the
center of the mounting plate opening to accommodate the wiring
harness and connector. Attach the connector that is affixed to the
underside of the light to the corresponding connector on the wir-
ing harness, position the connection point beneath the mounting
surface, and apply silicone sealant to fill the opening. Wet the
mounting surface with a small amount of water or lubricant for
easier installation, then place the light over the mounting plate by
sliding the front of the light over the front of the mounting plate,
first pull the light backwards, then seat the back of the light on to
the mounting plate. Displace the back of the gasket and install the
vise screw (provided). Tighten the vise screw using a Phillips head
screwdriver. Replace the gasket.
Dash Control
Determine the appropriate location for the dash mount control and
create a 2 inch opening to accommodate the cylinder on the rear
of the remote. Remove the outer rubber cover and afx the control
to the dash with the four screws provided. The word ”TOP” is
embossed on the control and should be situated accordingly. All
wiring should be undertaken with power removed from the system.
First, attach the connector that is afxed to the control to the cor-
responding connector on the wiring harness. Next, join the leads
at the remote to 12volt DC power with appropriate automotive wire
attachments; the red wire is the positive lead and the black wire
is the negative lead--the unit is polarity sensitive and care must be
taken to observe this. Note: Once power is applied to the system
the light will pan and tilt prior to bulb illumination. As a safety
feature, the control is backlit to indicate bulb illumination only.
Each spotlight needs to be wired on a single dedicated circuit and
the power fused at 10 amps. With the power connected, your light
is ready for operation.
The HID will have an initial start up amp draw of 8 amps and will
quickly scale down to a 3.5 amp constant draw.
OPERATION OF STRYKER™ HID
1. Using the remote control, turn on the light by depressing the
on/off button.
2. With the joystick on the dash control, rotate your light to the
desired location.
3. The speed of the light rotation can be controlled by depressing
the fast/slow button one time and by depressing it again to
restore the original speed.
4. The spotlight should not be turned on when the snap on lens
cover (rockguard) is attached. The control will be backlit when
the bulb is illuminated.
BULB REPLACEMENT
The Golight® Stryker™ HID utilizes a Philips® D1S bulb, which
may be purchased through Golight, Inc. — 308.278.3131 or
800.557.0098.
