IMPORTANT! The lightbar should be a minimum of 16" from radio
antennas!
Installation:
1. Place the lightbar housing onto the D-pillar. The trimmed edge of the
housing should be flush with the bottom and outer edges of the D-pillar
(Fig. 1).
2. Tuck any loose lighthead wires into the housing so they do not interfere
with contact of the D-pillar to the housing. Be sure the lightheads have a
sufficient service loop for lighthead maintenance.
Mounting the housing:
1. Mount the 2-sided tape to the bottom of the mounting bracket (Fig. 3).
2. Using isopropyl alcohol wipes (included), clean the vehicle where it will
come in contact with the mounting tape then prime those areas with the
supplied 3M Keel Primer.
3.
There is a driver and passenger side housing. Be sure to mount
them on the
correct sides.
Remove
the
backing from the
tape
you
mounted in step
1 and line the
rear and bottom
edges of the
housing up with
the “D” Pillar.
While keeping
the edges lined
up, bring the
opposite side of
the
housing
down onto the “D” Pillar and press the housing firmly against the
mounting surface to secure it.
WARNING! The adhesive used in this procedure is fully bonded
after 72 hours @ 70°F (21°C). During this period, do not expose
housings to unnecessary force, such as a high-pressure car wash.
4. Remove the three
6-32 X 3/8 Phillips Pan Head Machine Screws
that
hold the Outer Edge housing to the mounting bracket (Fig. 1). Carefully
remove the housing only. The mounting bracket remains on the vehicle.
5. With the housing removed, press down firmly on the mounting bracket
where the tape is, to assure a good bond. Drill three pilot holes (Figs 2
& 3) into the “D” Pillar and secure the mounting bracket with the
supplied
8 X 1/2 Phillips Pan Head Sheet Metal Screws
.
6. Drill a 3/8” wire passage hole in the approximate location shown in
figure 3. It is recommended you install a rubber grommet (customer
supplied) in the wire passage hole to protect the wires.Feed the wire
harness into the wire hole and apply RTV sealer around the hole when
the harness is in position.
7. With the bracket mounted and all wires in place, remount the housing to
the bracket and extend the wires to your power source.
Mounting the Flasher:
The location the flasher is mounted is left to the installers discretion. Using
the double sided adhesive tape provided, mount the flasher to the vehicle.
Extend the wires to power and make all electrical connections using the
information in the Wiring section. It is suggested that you follow the
vehicles factory wiring harness whenever possible.
