CAUTION: Permanent mounting will require drilling. The installer must be sure that no
vehicle components or other vital parts will be damaged. Be aware of the location of
any front, side or upper air bags.
CAUTION: There may be a roof support member that spans the distance between the
driver’s and passenger’s side. Do not drill through this member. Adjust the location of
the cable access hole until the hole can be drilled without contacting this support
member.
IMPORTANT! It is the responsibility of the installation technician to make sure that the
installation and operation of this product will not interfere with or compromise the
operation or efficiency of any vehicle equipment!
CAUTION: Using a magnetic mounted light on the outside of a vehicle, while in motion,
is not recommended and is at the sole risk of the user.
Installation:
1. To protect the headliner from damage caused by
drilling the cable access hole through the vehicle roof,
allow a 5” to 7” distance between roof and headliner
by lowering the headliner before drilling.
2. Using a 1” hole saw, drill the cable access hole. Use a
round file to smooth and de-burr the edges and insert
a 1” grommet (user supplied).
3. Insert the cable(s) through the cable access hole into
the vehicle. Use RTV silicone to weatherproof the access hole after the cable(s) are pulled into the vehicle.
4. When routing the cable(s), be sure to use a path that avoids any vehicle components or other vital parts that may be damaged. Also be careful not to interfere with any
vehicle air bags (front, side, etc.). Route the cable(s) towards your switch panel and refer to the instructions included with the switch panel for wiring information.
DRILLING THE CABLE ACCESS HOLE
Drill cable access hole in appropriate area
for your lightbar (see note)

be hanging off the edge.
