Important information is contained herein that could prevent serious injury or damage. Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of automotive electronics, systems and procedures. If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer MUST be sure that no vehicle components or other vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process. Check both sides of the mounting surface before drilling begins. Also de-burr any holes and remove any metal shards or remnants. Install grommets into all wire passage holes. If this manual states that this product may be mounted with suction cups, magnets, tape or Velcro, clean the mounting surface with a 00 mix of isopropyl alcohol and water and dry thoroughly. Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag. Equipment mounted or located in the air bag deployment area will damage or reduce the effectiveness of the air bag, or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to your vehicle owner s manual for the air bag deployment area. The UserInstaller assumes full responsibility to determine proper mounting location, based on providing ultimate safety to all passengers inside the vehicle.

2 Mounting: Read all warnings before starting installation. Note: 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. 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.).. 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 - Remove the unit from its mounting area and, using a drill bit, drill a hole for the cable harness. Affix the grommet to the hole and feed the cable harness through the grommet. Style (OPTIONAL) - To route the cable harness through the end cap a 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 grommet on the hole and feed the cable through. Once this is done, secure the endcap back onto the light array.. Using an appropriately sized drill bit, drill a hole in each of the areas scribed in the previous step.. 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. REF. A OPTIONAL MOUNTING Cable Harness #0 - X.
