3. Route the wires as

shown to the right:








4. Seal the wire hole with

silicone to prevent your
wires from becoming
damaged.








5. If you are using the well nuts, push the

enclosed rubber well nuts through the
holes until the bottom side of the wider
lip rests on the surface of the vehicle.



6. Review the mounting diagram and use the appropriate screws to mount the bezel.

Check the gasket to ensure it is resting flat and that there are no gaps

between the light and the mounting surface.

Take extreme caution not to over tighten the screws!!! Over tightening

of the screws can strip the holes and result in a faulty mount.

7. Once the bezel is firmly attached to the mounting surface, seat the foam compression

gasket inside of it. Carefully feed any loose wire into the wire hole and press the LED
head into the bezel.

1. Use the gasket as a template

to mark your mounting holes.

2. Determine whether you are going to use the self-tapping screws or the machine screws

and well nuts.

• Use the self tapping screws for applications where the mounting surface is a minimum

of .060” (1/16”) thick and is composed of a material that will provide sufficient “bite” for
the self tapping screw.

• Use the machine screws and well nuts if your surface is less than .060” thick and/or

composed of a material insufficient for securing with self tapping screws.
