Installation Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the
beginning of this document including all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.
1. IMPORTANT: Disconnect the
negative battery cable from the
battery during the entire light
installation to prevent potential
damage to the electrical system.
Note: Disconnecting the battery may
result in the loss of the radio and clock
settings. Refer to your vehicle’s owner’s
manual before disconnecting battery cable.
2. Select Mounting Base:
a. Use Flat Pad Mounting
Base (7) for flat surface.
b. Use Rounded Pad Mounting
Base (6) for round bar.
3. Use Mounting Pad as a template to
mark hole locations to install the Light.
CAUTION! Mount to stable location with
adequate clearance. If drilling is required,
beware of any hidden electrical lines
or cables. Do not damage or weaken
the structural integrity of the vehicle.
4. Drill mounting holes.
5. Route cable behind Light through
any exit point on the Mounting Pad.
See Figure A. Be sure the cable
fits within the top recess area of the
Mounting Pad and reaches connection
point without strain to the wires.
Note: Cable/wires should avoid direct
contact with hot, sharp or abrasive surfaces.
*
* Cut pad as shown to route cable through top.

6. Place Light into Mounting Pad
and use Screws (4) or (5),
Spring Washers (3), and Lock Nuts (2)
to secure Light to mounting area.
a. Installations with access to the
back of the Mounting Base, use
M6 Screw (4) with Lock Nut (2).

the back of the Mounting Base,
use Self Tapping Screw (5)
and Spring Washer (3).

inside the vehicle cabin in
a convenient location.
8. Install a relay (sold separately)
by drilling or locating a mounting
hole and securing it using a sheet
metal screw (sold separately).
Note: Install relay with terminals facing
down and higher than the wiring. This
reduces the possibility of water entry.
CAUTION! Waterproof all
wiring connections.
9. Ensure that switch and light wire
connections to the relay are secure.
10. Attach the red wire(s) to a 5 amp fuse
(sold separately) and wire the other
side of the fuse to the positive battery
terminal. The fuse should be as
close as possible to the battery.
11. Attach the black wire(s) to the
negative battery terminal.
CAUTION! Before connecting
wires to a battery, ensure that the
switch is at the ‘Off’ position.
12. Use wire ties (sold separately) to
secure the wires to the vehicle and/
or bundle the excess wire together.
13. Re-attach the vehicle battery
cables, positive and negative.
