Installation Guide
IMPORTANT!
•
We recommend the lights/wiring to be fitted by a qualified automotive electrician.
•
A forward facing light system may be used only as an auxiliary to high beam. Check
compliance and regulations with local authorities.
•
Vehicle accessories mounted on the outside of the vehicle may need to comply with
regulations governed by your local state authority. Please check before installation.
•
When mounting lights, position them appropriately so they do not obstruct existing
automotive function. If fitting to front of vehicle, check for bonnet clearances.
•
Consideration should be given for airflow requirements of the vehicle and its
mechanical components when mounting lights.
•
All stainless steel hardware must have anti-seize lubricant applied to the threads
before tightening to avoid binding or galling of components.
•
Ensure all recyclable parts/packaging are discarded in accordance to local
regulations.
Light Mounting Bracket
The mounting bracket is supplied loosely fitted to the light. The stainless steel M6 x 25mm
or M8 x 30mm button head bolts that secure the mounting bracket to the light must be
removed and have anti-seize lubricant applied to the threads before final installation.
The use of anti-seize greatly reduces the risk of thread galling or binding commonly seen
between stainless steel nuts and bolts during tightening. Anti-seize must also be applied
to all the mounting fasteners used to secure the light to the vehicle.
Vehicle Mounting & Adjustment
Ensure the mounting location for fitment of the light/s to the vehicle is flat, stable,
sufficiently strong and has enough clearance around the light to avoid damage to the
vehicle from any movement during installation and use. If drilling is required for mounting,
ensure raw edges are coated with corrosion resistant paint or inhibitor.
The light can be adjusted horizontally and vertically. All adjustments are to be made
before final tightening of fasteners. Horizontal adjustment is gained by rotating the
light body to the desired position and tightening the centre M10 or M12 bolt. Vertical
adjustment is gained by tilting the light body up or down and tightening the 4 x side bolts.

Night Hawk Variable Series Driving Lights
The 9" light should always be secured to the vehicle using 1 x M12 centre bolt and 2 x
M8 side bolts as supplied. Apply anti-seize lubricant to these fasteners when fitting to
the vehicle. For initial setup and adjustment, the fasteners should be finger tightened.
Once all adjustments have been made, all fasteners should be tightened and torqued
to the following specification:
