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.
• 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. This light is equipped with a combination base, allowing the light to be either mounted
on threaded conduit pipe or permanently mounted. For 1/2” 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 below.
2. Unscrew the dome and use a punch or drill to remove the knock-outs.
3. Using the gasket as a template, mark your mounting holes in the surface.
4. Drill your holes using an appropriate 3/8" drill bit.
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. After the holes have been drilled, push the
enclosed rubber well nuts through the outer holes
until the bottom side of the wider lip rests on the
surface of the vehicle.
6. Place the light on the surface of the vehicle, routing the wires through the center hole, if
applicable, align the holes with the well nuts, install the screws through the base, into
the well nuts, and tighten until snug.
