SAFETY MESSAGE TO INSTALLERS
People's lives depend on your safe installation
of our products. It is important to read, under-
stand and follow all instructions shipped with the
products. In addition, listed below are some other
important safety instructions and precautions you
should follow:
• To properly install this light: you must have a
good understanding of automotive electrical
procedures and systems, along with proficien-
cy in the installation and use of safety warning
equipment.
• When drilling into a vehicle structure, be sure
that both sides of the surface are clear of any-
thing that could be damaged.
• In order for the light to function properly, a
separate ground connection must be made. If
practical, it should be connected to the fusible
link at the front fender between the negative
(-) battery terminal and chassis ground. At a
minimum, it may be attached to a solid metal
body or chassis part that will provide an effec-
tive ground path as long as the light system is
to be used.
• Locate light control so the VEHICLE and CON-
TROL can be operated safely under all driving
conditions.
• Do not attempt to activate or deactivate light
control while driving in a hazardous situation.
• This product contains high intensity LED de-
vices. To prevent permanent eye damage, DO
NOT stare into the light beam at close range.
• You should frequently inspect the light to en-
sure that it is operating properly and that it is
securely attached to the vehicle.
• File these instructions in a safe place and refer
to them when maintaining and/or reinstalling
the product.
Failure to follow all safety precautions and instruc-
tions may result in property damage, serious injury, or
death to you or others.

arrow and right arrow. In addition, an alternating flash pattern
produces a warning signal for use when a directional signal may
not be appropriate. When a directional signal is selected, the lamps
