Wire Harness Replacement



Standard Mini Laser lightbars come with a 15-foot wiring harness. If the harness supplied
with the lightbar is not long enough for your application, Star recommends ordering the
proper cable of the desired length from the factory. Completely remove the pre-installed
wire harness(es) and replace it (them) with one that is the correct length.

Star recommends direct wiring to the terminal block(s) on the inside of the
lightbar, rather than making connections to the end of the wire that is supplied.

This lightbar is designed so that when replacing the wire harness(es), no wire
connectors are needed and only a few common tools are necessary.

Direct wiring allows the wire connections to the lightbar to be made in a clean
and dry environment, avoiding any problems that may arise due to weathering on
external connections.

Wiring directly inside the lightbar reduces the number of connections. There is
an increase in voltage loss with the addition of each connection.

Making connections to the wires already provided is an acceptable alternative, as
long as these connections are good electrical connections and are resistant from
weathering effects.

If you are using the existing 15-foot harnesses supplied with the lightbar,

you may skip to the LED Head Programming section on page 5.
