Magnet Mounting
If you are mounting the light on the roof of your vehicle, take extreme care to ensure
that the magnet is firmly seated on your roof, and that the pull of the magnet is
sufficient to secure the light in place. As the composition of the metal in the roofs of
different vehicles may vary, as well as the contour, texture, and/or condition, Star
cannot guarantee the ability of the light to remain in place upon a moving vehicle. It is
the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure the warning light is secure.
WARNING!!!! Care should be taken when positioning any warning light on the roof,
dash, or instrument panel of the vehicle, so that the light and/or cord
does not interfere with the proper operation of any airbags! Failure to
heed this warning may result in serious or fatal injury.
• CAUTION: Please be sure to check that your cigarette plug outlet is properly fused.
Testing the light before this fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on
the light.
• Once the light is secured, route your cord such that it does not interfere with the vision
of the driver or the operation of any controls, including, but not limited to, the steering
wheel, gear shifter, and/or airbag.
• This light has been factory tested and approved. If the light fails to work when the plug
is inserted into the cigarette plug socket, twist the plug a few times to remove any ash
or other deposits which might be preventing a good contact from being made. If the
problem persists, check for a fuse inside of the plug itself. If present, remove the fuse
from the circuit, check to see if it has blown, and clean the lighter socket and contact
surfaces. Reconnect the fuse and test the light again.
Permanent Mounting
1. CAUTION: All of our DC powered warning lights are polarity sensitive. These lights are
polarity protected only if the appropriate fuse is used. All wires connected to the positive
terminal of the battery should be fused at the battery for their rated load. Testing the
light before this fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on the light.
2. Your new warning light comes complete with a foam mounting gasket, and mounting
hardware.
3. Many of these warning lights come equipped with a combination base, allowing the light
to be either mounted on threaded conduit pipe or permanently mounted. For NPT pipe,
mount the light using the threaded entrance hole in the base of the light, then skip to the
Wiring Instructions. For the permanent mount, proceed to Step 4.
4. Using the gasket as a template, mark and drill your mounting holes. Use a drill bit
appropriate for the mounting hardware you will be using. Be sure to mark and drill the
center hole if you will be running your wires through the mounting surface.
CAUTION: If you are mounting the light on a vehicle, and plan to wire it through the roof
of the vehicle, remove the headliner from the inside of the vehicle. If you do not remove
the headliner, take care so that you do not drill through it.
5. If using well nuts, push them through the mounting holes
until the bottom side of the wider lip rests on the surface of
the vehicle.
5. Install the wire grommet on the center hole (if applicable).
6. Place the light on the surface of the vehicle, routing the wires through the center hole, if
necessary, install the screws through the base, into the well nuts or standard nuts, and
tighten until snug.
