The HG2 Runner®Package is an extremely versatile
emergency lighting system designed for maximum
visibility with a minimal footprint. HG2 Runners were
developed to enhance the outline of a vehicle’s prole
(side of vehicle), offering greater visibility through
installation location, variable ash patterns and
lighting intensity.
Our patent-pending designs feature super-bright,
wide-angle LEDs, a high-impact polycarbonate
housing and a powder-coated extruded aluminum
mounting sleeve for stealth installation.

Correct placement for rear of HG2 Runner assembly.
Note assembly aligns with rear jack location. Rear of
HG2 Runner assembly butts against rocker panel seam
flange.
Inspect exterior of vehicle to ensure
mounting fasteners will not be obstructed
by, or damage, vehicle systems such as
