2.MOUNT ‘EM UP...
DRIVING LIGHTS - Where you mount your driving lights is extremely important,
as well as aiming the units. Too high and they will bounce right back at you and
you’ll be trying to look through the beam instead of down the road. Too low and
they’ll skim across the roadway and not illuminate correctly where you are trying
to see. Fortunately, the bumper on most vehicles works out perfectly. Mounting
right under or on top of it is ideal. Try and place the lights as far back toward the
grill as possible, this will keep the front of the lens behind the bumper and
minimize the chance of breakage from impact.
FOG LIGHTS - Since fog rarely settles right onto the roadway, fog lights will
perform most effectively when mounted low and aimed underneath the fog.
BUMPER MOUNTING - Choose a location on your bumper for mounting your
lights, ensuring they measure an equal distance from each end of the bumper.
After marking the location for mounting, drill the appropriate size hole for the
lights you are mounting. Install the lights and loosely tighten the nut (you will
secure them later after aiming).
3. GET YOUR LIGHTS WIRED...
a.Find a suitable location inside the passenger compartment for your switch,
mark and drill two 1/8” holes and loosely install the panel. Fit switch in panel
and tighten switch. (we will remove panel when attaching wires)
Diagram C
b.Ground both of the black wires coming out of the lights. In most cases you
can attach them to the mounting bolts. If the mounting surface is not metal
then you must extend the wires to a good chassis ground.
c. Starting from the light farthest from the panel, attach one end of the
supplied wire to the red wire coming out of the light using one of the wire
splice connectors (see diagram C). If there is a terminal on the light wire, cut
it off first. Continue routing the wire toward the panel to the second light and
attach that red wire using another wire splice connector.
d.Continue routing the wire inside the engine compartment, through the
firewall until you get to the switch and panel. Cut and strip the wire and
crimp on a slide-on terminal. Connect this wire to the middle tab on the
switch marked LOAD.
e.Find a metal surface to ground your switch. If the panel is mounted to a
metal surface you may use one of the panel mounting screws for the
ground. If not, find an existing screw nearby and cut a length of wire to go
between the switch and ground point. Attach a ring terminal to one end and
a slide-on terminal to the other. Connect one end of the wire to the switch
tab marked EARTH (this is tab on same side as green LED light on switch,
see wiring diagram below) and the other end to the grounded screw.
f.Attach a slide-on terminal to the remaining piece of wire and connect it to
the switch tab marked SUPPLY( remaining tab). Route the other end to a 12
volt power source. This may be your fuse block, battery or other junction
box. Before connecting to power source, install the in-line fuse carrier and
fuse as shown in diagram C. If you use the fuse block, attach a slide-on

fuse clip (see diagram C) and attach to existing fuse.

4. AIMING YOUR LIGHTS...
Proper aiming of your lights is important. This procedure is accomplished by
aiming your fog or driving lights in relation to your properly aimed headlights.
1. Place your vehicle approximately 25 feet and perpendicular to a flat surface
such as a garage door or building. It is important that the vehicle be on level
ground.
2. With low beam headlights on, go over to the surface on which they are
shining and mark the vertical center on both left and right headlights with
something easily removable like masking tape. You might use a short piece
of tape to show vertical center and a long piece for the horizontal portion.
Your tape should appear as below.
USE DIAGRAM “A” FOR AIMING FOG LIGHTS
USE DIAGRAM “B” FOR AIMING DRIVING LIGHTS
With these markings on the wall, aiming can be done very easily. Please
refer to the proper section below for the type of lights being aimed.
FOG LIGHTS - The vertical aiming of fog lights is very important. Because of
the low mounting position relative to the ground (12 to 30 inches), they
should be aimed parallel to the ground or lower. Fog lights should be aimed
so the cutoff is on or below your horizontal low beam wall marks for best
results. The side to side adjustments are up to you. A large center overlap
will increase center light and decrease overall width. A slight center overlap
will increase your side lighting and give even coverage overall.
DRIVING LIGHTS - Driving lights are used to supplement your high beams.
They should only be used in conjunction with high beam headlights. The
horizontal centers of the beams may be aimed at the same level as your high
beam tape marks on the wall. The width is up to you as you may prefer to
light the sides of the road at a distance rather than concentrating the majority
of the light down the middle.
OFF ROAD LIGHTS - Since lights such as these are not legal on any public
road or highway, aiming your off road or competition lights is entirely up to
you. Most prefer the beam to shine as far down the road as possible, others
adjust them slightly off to the sides.
