166xx Eclipse Minibar Instructions 

 

The following is a list of recommended practices for the installation and operation of your light.   

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO 
THE PRODUCT OR VEHICLE AND/OR SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH TO YOU AND YOUR PASSENGERS

 

 

  Proper installation of this product requires the installer to have a good understanding of automotive electronics, 

systems and procedures.   You may need to consult a professional for installation. 

  SWS Warning Lights Inc. recommends the use of waterproof butt splices and/or connectors for all electrical 

connections.  It is recommended that the use of good dielectric grease be used on all connections where 
possible. 

  If mounting this product requires drilling holes, the installer must be sure that no vehicle components or other 

vital parts could be damaged by the drilling process. Also de-burr the holes and remove any metal shards or 
remnants. Grommets are recommended for all wire holes. 

  Do not mount the light close to antennae or radio equipment, as they may cause electromagnetic interference.  

After installation of the light, it is necessary to test all electronic equipment simultaneously to ensure that they 
operate free of interference from other components within the vehicle. 

  Never power emergency warning equipment from the same circuit or share the same grounding circuit with radio 

communication equipment. 

  Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of your air bag or areas that interfere with 

the operation of the vehicle.  Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual for the air bag deployment area and 
recommended mounting areas for warning lights and other equipment. 

  It is not recommended to leave a magnetically mounted, vacuum magnetic mounted, or suction cup light on a 

vehicle in motion. 

  Do not attempt to activate or control the device with the vehicle in motion or in a hazardous driving environment.  

The vehicle should be stopped and in park before control of the light is attempted. 

  Always be aware of the pattern and its effect on traffic when activating the device.  

  Do not stare directly into these lights. Momentary blindness and/or eye damage could result. 

  Use only soap and water to clean the product. Use of other chemicals could result in degradation and 

discolouration of the lens/dome. 

  Do not use a pressure washer to clean this product.   

  Inspect and operate this product regularly to confirm its proper operation and mounting condition.  

  It is recommended that these instructions be stored in a safe place and referred to when performing 

maintenance and/or reinstallation of this product. 

  SWS endeavours to maintain installation instructions for its products according to the latest requirements of 

vehicle manufacturers. SWS cannot guarantee, and shall not be held liable for, changes or updates a vehicle 
manufacturer may make which render SWS’s products inoperable or otherwise. 

  SWS Warning Lights Inc. and its subsidiaries are not responsible for any damages due to improperly mounted or 

improperly wired lighting equipment.
