used. If you DO NOT have experience doing this type of electrical work, the job
should be done by a qualified automotive or electrical service technician.

NOTE: When it becomes necessary to replace the Halogen Bulb in this 6” Off Road
Light for off road use exclusively. Make certain to follow all local DMV (Depart-
ment of Motor Vehicles) laws regarding vehicles and lighting systems.
If it is necessary to drill any holes in your vehicle, be sure to read and adhere
to the manual of the drill you are using. When drilling holes, beware of any hidden
electrical lines or cables. Make sure you do not damage or weaken the structural
integrity of the vehicle.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known to the
State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive harm). (Cali-
fornia Health & Safety code § 25249.5,et seq.)
Light becomes extremely hot during use. DO NOT touch or wash the Light for
at least 10 minutes after use.
Light, be sure to NEVER touch the glass of the Bulb with your fingers. The oil from
your skin can cause more heat to be accumulated wherever the bulb is touched and
this may reduce the life of the bulb. Always use a rag, or wear work gloves when
replacing Halogen Bulbs. If the bulb is accidentally touched, clean it with rubbing
alcohol and allow it to dry thoroughly before installing or using.
UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure that the item is intact and undamaged. If
any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number shown on
the cover of this manual as soon as possible. NOTE: No wires other than the attached
pigtail wires are included with this Light.

Installation requires a 1/2” hole through which to insert the wiring. If your vehicle
has no hole of this size, then drilling a hole will be necessary.

5.
Select a proper location to mount the Off Road Light and mark it. The Light may be
either top or bottom mounted. If there is no hole for mounting your Light, you must
drill one at the point you have selected.
Attach Positive wire (not included) to the proper terminal near the base of the Off
Road Light before the Light is mounted to the vehicle. There is only one, it is easy
to locate.
Insert Positive wire (not included) and Black Ground Wire (6) through the hole next
to where you wish to mount your Light.

Place one of the Rubber Mounting Pads (7) against the upper and lower sections
of the Light mounting hole. Use the Washer and Nut (8) provided to secure the
Light snuggly to your vehicle. The Rubber Mounting Pads (7) attached to the base
of your Off Road Light help to keep it from vibrating loose when driving on rough
terrain. See Figure 1

Black Ground Wire (6)
The red Positive wire (not included) from the Light is the “HOT” wire. Use a pin con-
nector or in-line splice connector (both not included) to connect the Off Road Light
to your vehicle’s electric wiring system. When using an in-line splice connector, it
is not necessary to strip the wires. The wiring diagram in Figure 2 will give you a
basic idea of how to set up the wiring.
The red Positive wire (not included) runs from the light to the Fuse, then to the
switch. From there it is wired to the electrical wiring running to the battery. The
Black Ground Wire (6) (included) must make contact with a metal surface to assure
proper grounding.
Attach the Red Positive wire (not included) to a switched power wire (e.g. tail light
or the low beam of the head light). Then wrap the connection with water proof tape
(not included).
Lay the connector for the switch (not included) of the wiring harness into the driver’s
compartment through the fire wall. Use a hole already made for the purpose of
handling other wires.

Connect the wire to the switch. Find a flat surface near the dashboard. Use double
sided tape to secure the switch in the place you want it to remain. Be sure to tape
any extra wiring to the underside of the dashboard, or to the inside of the engine
compartment away from moving parts. Do not leave extra wire hanging loose in
either the driver’s compartment or the engine.
Reconnect the battery and turn on the switch to test the whole system. If the Light
does not operate properly, check the fuse/ground wire/battery connection/switch/
lamp connection/relay all the way back to the Off Road Light to make sure every-
thing is connected properly.
Loosen the Light adjustment screws. With the system on, adjust the Light’s angle
until the proper angle is obtained. Retighten all the screws.
