Mounting
Your HID light can be mounted with the bottom mount bracket fitted in either direction (i.e.
rotated 180 degrees). If you find that you need to mount your light lower then our 'low
mount' bracket can be purchased (part number #MVDL). This can also be turned 180 degrees
for a greater offset than the standard 'high mount'
l Determine suitable mounting position
l Ensure washers are used under bolt heads and nuts
l Fit light into position
l Aim light (i.e. point straight ahead) then tighten both bolts as per recommended torque
specifications (see Specifications section)
Ballast Mounting
l Locate suitable position to mount ballast
l Fasten Ballast to the desired location
l Run cable to light and connect
Electrical Connections
The ballast is fitted with a waterproof electrical connector. Also included is the mating
connector fitted with a length of cable (loom adaptor) - for connection with the existing
wiring harness.
Fitting Supplied Loom Adaptor
l Strip the outer insulation (approx 5mm) from the end of your existing or new driving
light loom.
l If using heatshrink, slide this on the cable now!
l Connect BLUE wire to the POSITIVE (+) on your loom, BROWN to NEGATIVE (-).
l Connect (solder recommended) your loom cables and check for integrity.
l Insulate all connections (shrink heatshrink if using) to protect from electrical hazards
and weather.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT REMOVE CONNECTOR FROM BALLAST CABLE; THIS WILL
LEAD TO WATER INGRESS AND VOID WARRANTY
CAUTION: IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE TERMINALS AND CONNECTOR WILL AFFECT
THE RELIABILITY AND OPERATION OF YOUR LIGHTS
