Before installation of the light bar is attempted, it is important to read the installation manual completely. The
lives of people are dependent on a proper installation of the light bar to the vehicle. The person installing
this light bar must have advanced knowledge of the proper method for mounting and securing a light bar to
a vehicle’s roof or exterior, as well as knowledge of the vehicle’s electrical system. Again, read this manual
completely and note any messages marked “IMPORTANT”, “WARNING’’ or “NOTICE”. A safe installation will
prevent serious injury or damage to the vehicle.
LUMINOUS comes completely wired and does not require any internal wiring by the installer. The light bar
has two electrical cables exiting from the bottom of the light bar. The thinner cable has a factory installed
waterproof plug that will ensure a successful installation and years of dependable service.
Installation of the LUMINOUS Light Bar requires drilling into the vehicle’s roof and interior. The installer must
carefully inspect both sides of the selected locations to ensure that there are no components, wires and/or any
other vehicle part that could be damaged by drilling. IMPORTANT: Always de-burr any drilled holes, ensuring that
there are no sharp edges. Install a rubber grommet into all metal holes that the wires are being routed through.
IMPORTANT: Always refer to the vehicle’s shop manual for deployment location of the air bags. Never install
the light bar’s switch control panel, wires and or components in the deployment area of any air bag. Improper
installation could reduce the effectiveness of the vehicle’s air bag system and/or project an object that could
cause serious personal injury, or death to driver and passenger. The user/installer assumes all responsibility to
properly access a safe mounting location of the light bar’s switch control panel, so to provide ultimate safety to
the driver and passengers inside the vehicle.
The vehicle operator and/or maintenance department should inspect the light bar frequently to ensure all
brackets and bolts are securely attached to the vehicle and that all mounting hardware is free of corrosion.
The light bar’s switch control panel should be mounted in a location where the switches can be easily reached.
Never attempt to power the light bar on/off while driving under hazardous conditions.
These installation instructions should always be kept and stored in a safe location so that they can be referred
to when information, maintenance or reinstallation is required.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and installation procedures outlined in these instructions could result in
property damage to the vehicle, serious injury or death.
MOUNTING THE LIGHT BAR
There are two methods to safely mount the light bar to the vehicle’s roof. The light bar can be mounted directly
to the vehicle’s roof or a at surface using the slide brackets, or using the provided stainless-steel straps that
will secure the light bar to the vehicle’s windows ledge.

MOUNT LIGHT BAR - DIRECT MOUNTING
1. The light bar has two adjustable slide mounting brackets
that are designed to mount the light directly to a rack or a at
surface such as the vehicle’s roof without using the stainless-
steel straps. IMPORTANT: The installer should always use the
stainless-steel mounting hardware provided when securing the
light bar using the direct mounting method.
2. There are two mounting brackets on the bottom of the light
bar, one on each end. Loosen the four nuts on
one bracket and the bracket will freely slide,
repeat procedure for the other bracket. NOTE:
Do not tighten the brackets nuts until the light bar
and slide brackets have been positioned on the
mounting surface. See Fig. 1.
3. Place the light bar on the selected mounting
location. A preferred mounting position on the roof
is close to the B-pillar, which is the strongest part
of the roof. IMPORTANT: Never drill into a support
pillar. IMPORTANT: Make sure the light bar is
facing the correct direction. NOTE: There is a
label on the light’s front lens indicating ”FRONT”.
4. Position the light bar in the mounting location.
Tighten each of the slide brackets four nuts to
rmly lock the bracket in position
5. The slide bracket has pre-drilled holes designed for easy direct
mounting. Use the slide bracket as a template and mark the
locations that need to be drilled. See Fig. 1.
6. Mark the hole location for access hole to route the cables into the
interior of the vehicle. Mark the desired hole location; remove the
light bar from the roof or mounting surface. The installer must lower
the headliner before drilling any holes to carefully inspect selected
location to ensure that there are no components, wires and or any other vehicle
parts that could be damaged. WARNING: The roof has support members that spans from the driver’s side
to the passenger’s side of the vehicle, NEVER drill into a support member! It will be necessary to relocate
the cable’s access hole either in front or behind support member.
7. Drill holes: Access hole 7/16”
Mounting holes 3/8”
IMPORTANT: Protect the vehicle’s interior headliner from damage that could
be caused when drilling the access hole for the light bar’s electrical cables. It’s
recommended to allow a minimum distance of 6” to 8” between the roof and
headliner by lowering the headliner before drilling any holes.
IMPORTANT: Always de-burr the access hole that was drilled by using a round
le to ensure there are no sharp edges. NOTE: Provided with the light bar is a
rubber grommet. Insert the rubber gromet into the access hole, place the light bar
on the roof of the vehicle. Route the thin electrical wire with the plug through the
rubber grommet rst, followed by the heavier gauge wire. See Fig. 3.
8. The cables will make an approximate 90° bend into the B-pillar. Depending on the vehicle, this can
sometimes be difcult, but it is the recommended procedure for proper installation. Installation can vary for
each make and model vehicle. It is up to the installation technician’s decision whether to route the cables
as recommend through the B-pillar, or use an alternative routing method. Route cables down to the bottom
of the B-pillar, and pull the full length of both cables into the interior of the vehicle. See Fig. 4.
9. Secure the light bar to mounting surface with hardware provided. See Fig 2.
10. Place a coating of silicon or weather sealant around the head of each bolt that secures the light bar to the
