Installation...
CAUTION! Mounting this light will require drilling into its mounting surface. It is
absolutely necessary to make sure that no other vehicle components could be
damaged in the process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before starting.
If damage is likely, select a different mounting location.
1. Position the base reflector onto its proposed mounting surface. Locate the 3 mounting
holes shown.
2. Using an awl or other suitable tool, scribe the surface where the mounting hole are to
be drilled. Use the base as a guide.
3. Carefully drill the mounting holes in the areas scribed in step 2. The size of the drill bit
should be determined by the size of the mounting hardware (#6 x 3/4” PPHSMS) and
the thickness of the mounting surface.
4. After the mounting holes have been drilled, position the mounting gasket onto the
mounting surface. Insert the mounting screws through the holes in this gasket and into
the mounting surface to hold the gasket in place.
5. Locate the wire passage hole in the gasket. Scribe a mark on the mounting surface at
the location of this hole. Remove the gasket from the mounting surface.

6. Using a 3/8” (.375”) drill bit, drill a wire passage hole into the mounting surface at the
area scribed in step 5.After drilling, de-burr and grommet (customer supplied) this hole.
7. Route the RED and BLACK lamp wires through the wire passage hole in the mounting
gasket. Using appropriately sized wires, extend the RED lamp wire to a switched,
+12VDC power source capable of accommodating an additional 2 Amp load. Extend
the BLACK wire to chassis ground.
8. Feed all excess wire through the cable access hole away from the lamp base. Do not
allow any wires between the surface and gasket. Test the lamp for proper operation
before proceeding.
9. Position the mounting gasket and lamp base onto the mounting surface. Secure the
base to the surface using the provided hardware. Mount the lens onto the base and
secure using the #10 x 5/8” PPHSMS.
