two options you will need to decide upon and program.
The options MUST BE PROGRAMMED IN THE PROPER ORDER before use:
A. Opposite Light Function - When your lights are activated in Warning Mode and you
turn on your Turn Signal blinker), what do you want the opposite light do:
• Continue flashing in the pre-programmed warning pattern
• Turn off
• Become steady burn
B. Warning Pattern - Which warning pattern do you want displayed when you activate
the lights without the Turn Signal on?
Opposite Light Function
When your lights are activated in Warning Mode and you turn on your Turn Signal blinker),
the corresponding LDHT36 head will flash in conjunction with your turn signal. By default,
when you activate your Turn Signal the opposite light will illuminate in a steady burn mode.
If instead you would like the opposite light to continue flashing in the pre-programmed
warning pattern or turn OFF when the Turn Signal is activated, proceed below:
After connecting the wires as listed to the below, the light will flash every three 3) seconds.
After 3 seconds it will blink once, after six seconds it will blink twice, after 9 seconds it will
blink 3 times, and so on. Use the chart below to determine the proper length to Hold the
Green wire to program the desired mode.

Wiring
When wiring your lights, it is recommended that you take the following
precautions to reduce any Electromagnetic Interference EMI).
• Keep LED modules and any radios as far away from each other as possible.
• Separate the radio wires and the LED wires.
• Any excess wires should be cut short.
• The Ground wire, Power wire, and Synchronization wire should be bound tightly
together as they run from light to light, through your switchbox, and to the battery.
• Do not ground each unit independently to the chassis. Run the ground for each unit
in a “bus” like structure, to the negative terminal on the battery.
Note: The total wire length between the two farthest units should be no more than 40 feet.
