Dimming: 

  Magnetic Mount lights 

do not

 have the ability to dim. 

  The ORANGE wire allows for optional dimming.  If you are not using the dimming feature, isolate and stow away 

the orange wire. 

  To use the AutoDim feature, permanently connect the ORANGE wire to the BLACK (GROUND) wire.  The 

internal sensor will be activated and automatically adjust the light output when darkness is detected. 

  To manually dim the light, connect the ORANGE wire to the RED (POSITIVE) wire.  This should be done via an 

external switch. 

 
Sync./Alt. 

  Magnetic Mount versions 

do not

 have the ability to sync./alt. 

  The BLUE and WHITE wires are used for the intelligent network to synchronize up to 16 lights.  If the light is to 

operate independently or if there is only one light present, these wires can be stowed away for future use if 
desired. 

  Choose a master. The master light will control the operation (except power) and features (dimming, pattern 

select etc.) of itself and all slaves in the network. To make the light a 

master

, connect its WHITE wire with all 

other WHITE wires of the lights to be in the network.  

  To make the light a 

slave

, connect its WHITE wire with all other white wires and isolate and stow away its 

GREEN and ORANGE wires as the light will take commands from the master light. 

  To make the slave light 

synchronize

, connect its BLUE wire to the RED (POSITIVE) wire. 

  To make the slave light 

alternate

, connect its BLUE wire to the BLACK (NEGATIVE) wire. 

 
Features 

 
Selectable Battery Monitor 

The Battery Monitor is a factory-installed feature that will detect the voltage across 

your vehicle’s battery.  If your 

battery’s voltage goes below an ideal preset value, the light will switch to a unique alert pattern prompting you to start 
your vehicle to charge your battery.  Once the battery goes above the ideal level, the light will resume its previous 
operation.  To disable this feature, follow these steps: 

  Turn off the light 

 

Hold

 the pattern select wire (GREEN) to ground.  For lights with a cigarette cord, 

hold

 the pattern select button 

down. 

  Turn on the light 

  After 1 flash, release the pattern select wire or button.  The light will now function normally with the feature 

disabled. 

  To reactivate the feature, perform the first 4 steps but wait for 2 flashes before releasing the pattern select wire 

or button.
