IMPORTANT: Please read all of the following instructions before installing your new Model VL22
STARVISIONII™ LED Visor Light .
CAUTION: Please be sure to check that your cigarette plug outlet is properly fused. Testing the
light before this fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on the light.
WARNING!!!! Care should be taken when pos
itioning this warning light on the visor so that the light
and/or cord does not interfere with the proper operation of the driver-side or passenger-
side
airbag! Failure to heed this warning may result in serious or fatal injury.
The VL22 uses state-of-the-art Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology. This
warning light is comprised of ultra
-high intensity LEDs that are operated by a micro-
controller to efficiently produce light output with lifetimes up to 100,000 hours.

Mounting
1. The STARVISION II™ Visor Light comes equipped
with two Velcro straps for standard visor
mounting. Please read all of the following
instructions before installing your new
STARVISIONII™ Visor Light .
2. Place the vehicle’s sun visor in the “down”
position. (Typically the passenger side visor.)
3. Place the STARVISION II™ Visor Light in front of the
vehicle’s sun visor, with the cigarette plug cord exiting the
top of the light. Please Note: The VL22 must be mounted
with the power cord exiting the top of the light or the tilt-switch
will not function properly.
4. With the flat side of the light mounted against the visor and the LEDs
pointing towards the windshield, adjust the straps so that the light may be
slid over the end of the visor.
5. Once in place, tighten the straps to the desired tension.
6. Route the wire across the top of the visor and down to
your cigarette plug outlet.
Passenger side
mounting is shown
here. Please note that
the cord is routed such
that it runs towards the
outside of the
windshield and does
not obstruct the view of
the driver.
CAUTION!!! Once the light is secured,
route your cord such that it does not
interfere with the vision of the driver or
the operation of the steering wheel, gear
shifter, and/or any airbags.
Warning: It is the owners sole responsibility to ensure
that the mount is secure and will not come
loose while the vehicle is in motion.

Operation
When in the “ON” mode, the STARVISION II™LED Visor Light is designed with a tilt sensor to
automatically turn the light “ON” when the visor is flipped down and turn the light “OFF” when the
visor is pushed back up.
This light was also designed with provisions to de-activate the tilt switch. If you wish to alter the
internal jumper settings so that the light will operate at any angle, using the On/Off button, please
call our Customer Service Department at 585-226-9787.
ON/OFF BUTTON:
There are two push-button switches located to the right on the face of the STARVISION II™. The
bottom button is red and switches the unit on and off. When the unit is switched ON, the green
LED that is located on the right end of the light near the buttons, will illuminate. This signifies that
the light is in standby mode. While in standby mode, the VL22 will remain off when the visor is in
the up position. The VL22 will activate when the visor is flipped down. When the green LED is not
lit, the VL22 is OFF and will not flash in any position.
