STEP 1. MOUNT THE LIGHTS
1. Remove the nyloc nut and M10 washer from M10
x 35mm bolt attached to the bottom of mounting
bracket
2. Locate the bracket in a suitable position
using the M10 x 35mm bolt. It is
recommended that the base area of the mounting
bracket is totally supported
3. Align the light to preferred driving position
4. Fit the washer and M10 nyloc nut, then tighten
using a 17mm socket and ratchet to specied
torque (26lb-ft). Do not use rattle guns
5. Tighten 2 x M10 x 35mm side bolts to
recommended torque (35Nm).
WIRING HARNESS INSTALLATION
STEP 2. INSTALL THE RELAY AND
CONNECT THE LIGHTS
1. Lay out the harness to check length and
positioning
2. Remove the main ground wire from the negative
battery terminal. WARNING: This may result in
loss of radio security code and clock settings.
Please consult your owner’s manual before
disconnecting
3. Mount the 40 amp relay (see gure 1) in a suitable
place within the engine bay, using the screw
supplied (gure 2) and your drill with a Phillips
head driver bit. Ensure that the red (positive)
and black (negative) ring terminals reach the
appropriate battery terminals. DO NOT CONNECT
RING TERMINALS TO THE BATTERY AT THIS
STAGE
4. Route the insulated sleeved wires that run from
the relay to the driving light connectors to each
of your installed Striker LED Driving Lights and
connect the driving light connectors to the back
of each light. Ensure that cables do not touch the
radiator or come in contact with any sharp edges
5. Secure all excess wire to the vehicle with cable
ties supplied.
NOTE: If you are using a different switch
with dash illumination (not included), a
Lightforce Switch Adaptor (not included,
see Figure 9) will be required. Follow the
instructions included with the Lightforce
Switch Adaptor. The yellow dash illumination
cable (item 8 in gure 1) will need to be wired
to the dash light / park light circuit.

what you are doing. Be careful to avoid crushing
the connector. Ensure the wires are kept away
from any heat sources
2. Connect the dashboard switch loom connector on
the driving light harness (see item 1, gure 1) to
the dashboard switch loom pictured in Figure 7.
Note: The notch on the switch loom and wiring
harness must be aligned.
3. Find a suitable place on the dash to mount the
dash switch.
4. Afx dash switch by removing the adhesive from
the rear of the switch and attach to the desired
location.
STEP 6. CONNECT TO THE BATTERY
1. Connect the ring terminal on the red wired battery
connector to the positive battery terminal using a
wrench
2. Connect the ring terminal on the black wired
battery connector to the negative battery terminal
using a wrench.
STEP 7. TEST
1. Test operation by icking the switch. Night vision
goggles or a night vision sight will be required to
verify operation. If the lights do not operate, check
steps 1 to 6 were completed correctly.
STEP 8. SECURE CABLES
1. Use the supplied cable ties to secure all loose
cables and remove excess cable tie lengths using
wire cutters.

with anti-theft nyloc nuts as per the diagram
below.
STRIKER IR LED ACCESSORIES
DRIVING LIGHT FILTERS AND COVERS
Durable polycarbonate covers should remain tted
to driving lights at all times. Capable of absorbing
road grime and bombardment for many years, these
replaceable covers should be renewed from time
to time to protect your investment and maintain
maximum output.
Your Striker LED lights come standard with clear spot
lters (STRIKERFCS).
Clear combo (STRIKERFCC) and clear ood
(STRIKERFCF) lters are also available and can be
used to achieve a wider driving light beam pattern or
diffused ood of light.
STAINLESS STEEL BRACKET
This stainless steel bracket (STRIKERLEDBKT) is
supplied with an M10 x 35mm coach head bolt with a
nut and washer. These can be used to mount a Striker
LED vertically or horizontally to any solid surface and
allows the user more exibility in directing the light.
TUBE MOUNTING BRACKETS
Lightforce supplies a variety of tube mounting brackets
to allow you to easily mount your Striker LEDs to
common nudge and roll bars.
SWITCH ADAPTOR
The Lightforce Switch Adaptor (SWADP4) allows plug
and play integration of various Lightforce vehicle
specic OEM style switches, while retaining the
standard Lightforce harness connector.
