NOTE - We recommend using a light duty LOCTITE on all windshield bracket mounting bolts.

Installing the Bar

1. Beginning on the driver’s side, remove one of the factory Torx head bolts from the side of the upper
windshield frame bracket. Insert the supplied set screw temporarily in its place. This will ensure the plate
inside does not get out of alignment. Now remove the remaining bolt on the side and the two on the front
under the windshield.

2. Place the driver’s side light bar support bracket in position on the windshield frame over the set screw
already in place. Hand tighten one of the 5/16 hex head bolts with washers in place. Loosely attach the
front of the support bracket with two more hex bolts and washers. Remove the set screw and loosely
fasten the other hex bolt.

3. Lubricate both ends of the center bar with a white multi-purpose grease. Slide the center bar into the
mounted support bracket, ensuring the light mounting tabs are on top and facing the rear of the vehicle.
Align the holes and screw in one of the threaded knobs to hold it in place.

4. Repeat the procedure on the passenger side ensuring to insert the center bar into the support bracket
before attaching to the windshield hinge and again secure it by adding the other threaded knob.

DO NOT FULLY TIGHTEN ANY BOLTS AT THIS TIME

5. After ensuring all parts are in alignment, you may now tighten all bolts. Check all bolts for tightness after
the first 500 miles of use.

Rotating the Bar

If necessary, you may rotate the center bar and lights forward for less wind resistance or added clearance to
enter your garage. Simply remove both knobs that secure the center section and carefully rotate the lights/bar
forward 90 degrees. Align the holes in the side bracket tubes with the holes in the center bar and re-insert the
knobs. CAUTION - If not supported, once the knobs are removed, the weight of the lights may allow the bar to
rotate rapidly causing damage to the vehicle or lights.

You’re DONE! - - - - - - - Install your KC lights and enjoy.
