Overtightening of the bolts could cause
warping of the bracket. Make sure to center
the bracket before fully tightening bolts.

NOTE: When the switch is configured correctly it should
function as follows: The primary switch, or the switch
hooked up to the red wire, controls power to the Hornet
light. This switch will turn the light on and off. To switch
modes, the primary switch must be in the ON position.
While the Hornet light is receivng power via the red wire,
give 12V power to the yellow wire If it does not change
modes, check to make sure that the light is receiving power
from the primary switch. The light will remember the mode
even with the switch turned off.
Your new Hornet is now successfully
installed on your Backrack!
