Installation Notes
Wiring Notes
When wiring your lights, it is recommended that you take the following
precautions to reduce any Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).
• Keep LE modules and any radios as far away from each other as possible.
• Separate the radio wires and the LE 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.

Programming, Functionality, and Operation
The recommended first step is to identify what color is defaulted to each input. To do this:
• Connect the BLACK wire to Ground.
• Touch only one of the Enable wires to Power and note which color is activated.
• Repeat for each Enable wire.
STANDARD PROGRAMMING
Follow the instructions below to program any of the
options listed in the chart the chart to the right. Each
Enable wire is programmed independently.
1. Connect the BLACK wire to Ground.
2. Connect the corresponding Enable wire to Power
(only one at a time).
3. Hold (or touch and release) the GREEN wire to
Ground to set the options listed to the right.
4. isconnect wires when finished programming.
Several mounting brackets are available for various applications where mounting directly to
the surface is not desired. Please visit our website (www.starheadlight.com) for a complete
list of brackets.
For surface mounting, use the
gasket as a template to mark and
drill three holes for the self
tapping screws and wires.
Remove the one gasket slit that is open to
the bottom and ensure it is aligned with
the Gortex™ pad on the rear of the light.
This will allow air to circulate through the
pad, helping reduce condensation.
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS!!
TORQUE TO 10 IN.-LBS.!!

Surface Mounting Instructions
Once the wires are run, the use of a small amount of silicone or other similar sealant (not
included) is recommended to seal the wire hole and prevent your wires from becoming
damaged.
Unless you are using the optional shims, this light must be
mounted on a perfectly flat surface!! Failure to do so will
result in damage to the housing and will void the warranty!
If you are installing this light on a curved
surface, it is recommended that you
purchase the #30019-314 Shim Kit and
install the shims as pictured to the right.

Pattern Programming
With one of the colors activated, touch and
release the GREEN wire to GROUN to scroll
through the patterns to the right (or hold it to
advance directly to the shortcuts).
Phase 1 / Phase 2
All lights are shipped with both Enables (colors)
set for Phase 1. If you are synchronizing this light
with another and want the same color on the two
lights to alternate, while one color is activated,
use the shortcut shown in the Standard
Programming Chart (previous page) to set the
corresponding color on the second light for
Phase 2.
(See Synchronization section for details)
Note: When both colors are activated on one
light, Color 1 will always be forced into
the opposite Phase of Color 2.
Full Steady or Cruise Mode
If you want either color to be Full Steady Burn or Cruise Mode (low intensity Steady Burn
mode), activate that and use the shortcut shown in the Standard Programming Chart
(previous page) to set the corresponding Enable wire for the corresponding mode.
Exit either mode by holding the GREEN wire to ground for 3 seconds/1 blink.
