CAUTION: All wires connected to the positive terminal of the battery should be
fused at the battery for their rated load. Testing the light before this
fuse is properly installed will void the warranty on the light.
1. Your new warning light comes complete with a foam mounting gasket, two
mounting screws, two lock washers, and two rubber well nuts.
2. Remove the foam gasket from the shipping box. Each gasket comes furnished
with three holes, two outer and a center hole. (NOTE: You may have to stretch
the gasket to find the location of the three holes.) Place the gasket in the exact
position the light is to be mounted.
3. Using the gasket as a template, mark three holes on the mounting surface.
Take care to ensure that the gasket does not move while you are marking each
of the three holes.
4. Remove the gasket and drill a 3/8" hole in the two outer locations only. Drill a
1/2” hole in the center location for the cable, taking care to remove any burrs
and file any sharp edges that may damage the cable.
CAUTION: Take care not to drill through the headliner of the vehicle below.
5. Push the enclosed rubber well nuts through the two
outer holes in the vehicle, until the bottom side of
the wider lip rests on the surface of the vehicle.
6. Remove the dome from the light by carefully
twisting and lifting it off.
7. Locate the two holes inside the base.
8. Place the gasket and base over the well nuts and align the mounting holes in
the base and gasket with the well nuts. Install the mounting screws and
washers and tighten until snug.
9. Route your wires through the center hole.
10. Replace the dome.
11. Connect the wires: Black : Good Chassis Ground
Red: +12 VDC

Mag Mount Light Versions
• If you are mounting the light on the roof of your vehicle, take extreme care to ensure that
the magnet is firmly seated on your roof, and that the pull of the magnet is sufficient to
secure the light in place. As the composition of the metal in the roofs of different vehicles
may vary, as well as the contour, texture, and/or condition, the manufacturer cannot
guarantee the ability of the light to remain in place upon a moving vehicle. It is the sole
responsibility of the owner to ensure the warning light is secure.
• Once the light is secured, route your cord such that it does not interfere with the vision of
the driver or the operation of any controls, including, but not limited to, the steering wheel,
gear shifter, and/or airbag.
• This light has been factory tested and approved. If the light fails to work when the plug is
inserted into the cigarette plug outlet, check the cig plug fuse in the vehicle. If that fuse
has not blown, twist the cig plug a few times to remove any ash or other deposits which
might be preventing a good contact from being made. If the problem persists, remove the
fuse from the cig plug itself, check to see if it has blown, and clean the lighter socket and
contact surfaces. Reconnect the fuse and test the light again.

ONE YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY
The manufacturer warrants each new product, under normal use, against factory defects in material and workmanship
for one year after the date of purchase. The owner will be responsible for returning to the Service Center any defective
item(s) with the transportation costs prepaid. The manufacturer will, without charge, repair or replace at its
option, products, or part(s), which its inspection determines to be defective. Repaired or replacement item(s) will be
returned to the purchaser with transportation costs prepaid from the service point. A copy of the purchaser's receipt
must be returned with the defective item(s) in order to qualify for the warranty coverage.
Exclusions from this warranty include, but are not limited to, bulbs, strobe tubes, domes, and/or the finish. This warranty
shall not apply to any light, which has been altered, such that in the manufacturer's judgment, the performance or
reliability has been affected, or if any damage has resulted from abnormal use or service. This warranty does not apply
to defect or damage occurring as a result of disaster, accident, abuse, misuse, lightning, power surges, or failure to
follow instructions in any enclosed manuals. Any damage or defects occurring as a result of any unauthorized service
or repairs by unauthorized persons shall be excluded from this warranty.
There are no warranties expressed or implied (including any warranty of merchantability or fitness), which extend this
warranty period. The loss of use of the product, loss of time, inconvenience, commercial loss or
consequential damages, including costs of any labor, are not covered. The manufacturer reserves
the right to change the design of the product without assuming any obligation to modify any product previously
manufactured.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights. You might also have additional rights which may vary from state to state.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts. Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages. Therefore, the above limitation(s) or exclusion(s) may not apply to
you.
CAUTION: Please be sure to check that your cigarette plug outlet is
properly fused. Testing the light before this fuse is properly
installed will void the warranty on the light.
