1. Turn off the equipment and disconnect the power supply. 2. Ensure that the light mounting location is a FLAT, SOLID surface
of the same (or larger) size as the bracket or light. This will prevent
warping or distortion that can cause cracking or damage to the
light and/or bracket.
5. Align the “Front” text on the Mounting Base with the round
holes on the mounting bracket (NOT the slotted holes).
6. Attach the Mounting Bracket (D) to the Mounting Base (A) with
the 4, M8-1.25"x25 Hex Head Flange Bolts (F). Tighten the bolts by
hand. These combined parts are the Mounting Assembly.
7. Align front of the headlight with “Front” text on the Mounting
Base. Lamp will rock if not properly aligned. Attach Mounting
Assembly to the headlight using the 4, 1/4"-20x0.75" Hex Head
Flange Bolts. Tighten bolts to 46-50 IN-LBs.
3. Build the Mounting Assembly. Place the 4 Hex Nuts (B) into the
pockets of the Mounting Base (A).
4. Place the 2, M8-1.25"x25 Carriage Bolts (E) into the slots in the
Mounting Bracket (D).
8. Mount headlight to the vehicle using the 2, M8-1.25"x25 Carriage
Bolts (E), 2 M8 Split Lock Washers (G) and remaining 2 Hex Nuts (B).
Carefully splice the wires using the “Wire Functions” and “Voltage”
information from page 1 to power the light.
9. All connections should be adequately protected against
moisture. Shrink tubing is recommended. Lay and secure
wiring/connectors to avoid any pulling or abrasion that may
damage the wires.
10. Aim the headlights according to the instructions on the
following pages. Use the 4, M8-1.25"x25 Hex Head Flange Bolts (F)
on the side of the Mounting Assembly to angle the light up and
down. Once properly aimed, tighten the 4 bolts to 96 IN-LBS MAX.
11. Frequently check the light to make sure that it is working
properly and is securely attached.

BEFORE AIMING:
AIMING GUIDELINES:
REQUIRED SUPPLIES:
OPTIONAL SUPPLIES:
KEY TERMS:
1. Vehicle is being aimed on a level surface.
2. All tires are properly inflated.
3. Vehicle is at normal driving height.
• Tape or chalk to mark lines
• Corresponding tools for your vehicle’s aiming mechanism
• Laser level to expedite the aiming process and will help to
increase accuracy in aiming
1. Park your vehicle close to a wall, in an area where there is at least
7.62 meters (25 feet) of space behind it (excluding the car length).
2. On the wall, draw a line from the ground to the approximate
center point of the headlight. Repeat for the other headlight. This
will create your Y axis lines.
Kink (elbow): The top of the pattern that is the cutoff when
aimed at a wall.
Alignment Point: The center of the angle in the Kink that
must align to the center point when aiming the light at a wall.
7.62 M (25 feet)
LHT (Left Hand Traffic):
ECE Regulation countries
like the United Kingdom
RHT (Right Hand Traffic):
DOT (and some ECE)
Regulation countries like the
United States
The following instructions are illustrated for RHT vehicles.
Aiming for LHT vehicles will be mirrored to what is shown.
Headlight must be securely mounted and properly aimed such that the beam pattern “cut off line” complies with all applicable regulations.
If you are not familiar with the legal requirements for aiming your headlights, please see a professional service provider. We
recommend that headlights are aimed with a headlight aiming system for proper alignment. Failure to properly aim your headlights is a risk
to other drivers and could result in tickets or citations with local authorities. J.W. Speaker is not liable for any damage to the vehicle or light,
or any tickets/citations as a result of using these guidelines.
HEADLIGHT AIMING INSTRUCTIONS
FOR LOW AND HIGH/LOW HEADLIGHTS

AIMING GUIDELINES CONTINUED:
6. When you first turn on your vehicle after installing your
headlights, the Alignment Points of the LOW BEAM may be
positioned differently than shown and will likely be aimed
differently from each other.
7. Using the alignment mechanisms in your vehicle, adjust one
headlight vertically until the Alignment Point is even with the
X axis.
7.62 M (25 feet)
5. Reverse your vehicle in a straight line so that the front of the
headlights are 7.62 meters (25 feet) back from the wall.
8. On the same headlight, adjust horizontally until the Alignment
Point is even with the Y axis.

9. Repeat this process on the other headlight. Both headlights
should match the diagram below, where the Alignment Point is
even with the point where the X and Y axis crosses.

The goal of this sheet is to aim BOTH of your headlights
so that the Alignment Point is at the crossection of the
horizontal X and vertical Y lines you have drawn. The
following directions illustrate the process and proper
aiming of headlights.

3. Connect the center points between headlights using chalk or tape.
This will create your X axis (horizontal) line. NOTE: Use a straight edge
and a level to make sure this line is straight.
4. Extend your vertical, Y (vertical) axis lines up approximately 3
feet. Your lines should match the diagram below, when looking at
the lines straight on.
