Mounting:
Read all warnings before starting installation.
Note: There are two ways to mount the light array. Both methods
require the unit to be secured to the mounting surface using
the supplied sheet metal screws. The cable harness can
either be routed directly into the mounting surface or routed
out the side of the end cap (see illustration below). When
facing the LED display, the cable harness should exit from the
right side of the bar.
Note: When routing the wires, it is important to choose a path that
will keep these wires away from excessive heat and from any
vehicle equipment that could compromise the integrity of the
wires (ex. trunk lids, door jams, etc.).
1. Position the unit in its proposed mounting location to ensure that it fits
properly. With the unit in place, use an awl or other suitable tool and
scribe the areas to be drilled, based on the desired style.
Style 1 - Remove the unit from its mounting area and, using a 5/8” drill bit,
drill a hole for the cable harness. Affix the 5/8” grommet to the hole and
feed the cable harness through the grommet.
Style 2 (OPTIONAL) - To route the cable harness through the end cap a 5/
8” passage hole must be drilled. Remove the endcap from the light array,
via. the machine screws, as to prevent damage to the cable harness and
drill the hole. Place the 5/8” grommet on the hole and feed the cable
through. Once this is done, secure the endcap back onto the light array.
2. Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill a hole in each of the areas
scribed in the previous step.
3. Return the unit to its mounting location and using the supplied
hardware, mount the unit as shown below.
Note: Do not install the fuse required in the fuse block, until all wire
connections are completed.
Installation is now complete. Refer to the information for your model on the
wiring diagram below and the manual that comes with your control head.
