MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS
Light Unit/Permanent Mount
Determine the location for the light on your vehicle or boat. Center
the mounting plate with the vise screw on the mounting plate to
the back. Mark the hole locations for the three mounting screws
and drill a pilot hole for each with 1/8 inch bit. Fasten the
stainless steel mounting plate with the 3 #10 – 16x3/4 type AB
cross recessed pan head tapping screws. Drill a 1/4” hole (wire-
less) or a 5/8” hole (hard-wired) in the center of the mounting
plate opening to accommodate the power wire or wiring harness
and connector. Attach the connector that is affixed to the under-
side of the light to the corresponding connector on the wiring
harness (hard-wired). Position the connection point beneath the
mounting surface, and apply silicone sealant around wire to seal
the drilled opening.
Wet the mounting surface with a small amount of water or
lubricant for easier installation, then place the light over the
mounting plate by sliding the front of the light over the front of the
mounting plate, first pull the light backwards, then seat the back of
the light on to the mounting plate. Displace the back of the gasket
and install the vise screw (provided). Tighten the vise screw using a
Phillips head screwdriver. Replace the gasket.
Each spotlight needs to be wired on a single dedicated circuit and
the power fused at 10 amps. With the power connected, your light
is ready for operation. A minimum of 14 awg wire is recommended
and may need to be larger depending on total length of run.
The HID will have an initial startup amp draw of 8 amps and will
quickly scale down to a 3.5 constant draw.
Light Unit/Magnetic Mount
Select the best location on your vehicle for the magnetic mount
Stryker. Make sure the metal area under the magnetic base is flat
and clean to ensure a strong bond. Route the power cord into the
vehicle through a door frame and connect to 12V power outlet. The
magnetic mount Stryker™ HID should be removed from vehicle’s
exterior while traveling at excessive speeds and in strong wind
conditions.
Dash Control/Permanent Mount
Determine the appropriate location for the dash mount control and
create a 2 inch opening to accommodate the cylinder on the rear
of the remote. Remove the outer rubber cover and affix the control
to the dash with the four screws provided. The word ”TOP” is em-
bossed on the control and should be situated accordingly. All wiring
should be undertaken with power removed from the system. First,
attach the connector that is affixed to the control to the
corresponding connector on the wiring harness. Next, join the leads
at the remote to 12volt DC power with appropriate automotive wire
attachments; the red wire is the positive lead and the black wire
is the negative lead--the unit is polarity sensitive and care must be
taken to observe this. Note: Once power is applied to the system
the light will pan and tilt prior to bulb illumination. As a safety
feature, the control is backlit to indicate bulb illumination only.
Each spotlight needs to be wired on a single dedicated circuit and
the power fused at 10 amps. With the power connected, your light
is ready for operation.
Wireless Dash Control
If you have a wireless dash control, please note that it is vital for this
to be attached to a flat / smooth surface with the 4 mounting screws
included. The arrow under the rubber cover should point up.
BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL FOR TRANSMITTER
Remove battery cover: for wireless hand-held transmitter, remove
phillips head screw to remove cover. For wireless dash mount
remote, simply remove the exterior rubber cover. With battery
compartment now exposed, insert batteries according to the correct
polarity or gently remove batteries by grabbing the positive end and
lifting up.
PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS
The Golight® Stryker™ HID is controlled with a programmable
remote with 2187 different channels. This feature allows you
the freedom to change the channel selection, and the receiver
re-learns the new selection. This light has been pre-programmed
at the factory, and it is not necessary to re-program the transmitter,
unless you experience outside interference. To program transmitter:
1. IMPORTANT: Disconnect power by removing fuse or
disconnecting vehicle battery.
2. Remove battery cover from remote control.
3. Set the 7 dip switches to a selection of your choice. There are 3
positions on each; positive, negative and neutral. Use a small
screwdriver and select a position for each dip switch. *Please
note that the orientation of the +/- switch positions may vary
among different models of wireless remote controls.
4. Insert both GP 23A 12V batteries. Be sure batteries have
adequate charge.
5. Replace battery cover.
a. Depress the on/off button and hold it down. Red LED will
light.
b. While holding the on/off button down, reinstall the power
(replace fuse or connect vehicle battery).
c. Keep your finger on the on/off button for 5-6 seconds, and
then release. The light should now be programmed.
OPERATION OF STRYKER™ HID
1. Using the remote control, turn on the light by depressing the on/
off button.
2. With the joystick on the dash control, rotate your light to the
desired location.
3. The speed of the light rotation can be controlled by depressing
the fast/slow button one time and by depressing it again to
restore the original speed.
