STEP 1. MOUNT THE LIGHTS

1. Install the driving lights onto a suitable

mounting surface

2. Remove the nyloc nut and M10 washer from
M10 x 35mm bolt attached to the bottom of
mounting bracket

3. Locate the bracket in a suitable position
using the M10 x 35mm bolt. It is
recommended that the base area of the
mounting bracket is totally supported

4. Align the light to preferred driving position

5. Fit the washer and M10 nyloc nut, then
tighten using a 17mm socket and ratchet to
specied torque (35Nm). Do not use
rattle guns

6. Tighten 2 x M10 x 35 side bolts to

recommended torque (35Nm).

WIRING HARNESS INSTALLATION

STEP 2. INSTALL THE RELAY AND
CONNECT THE LIGHTS

1. Remove the main ground wire from the
negative battery terminal. WARNING: This
may result in loss of radio security code and
clock settings. Please consult your owner’s
manual before disconnecting

2. Mount the 40 amp relay (see gure 1) in a
suitable place within the engine bay, using

the screw supplied (gure 2) and your drill

with a Phillips head driver bit. Ensure that
the red (positive) and black (negative) ring
terminals reach the appropriate battery
terminals. DO NOT CONNECT TERMINALS
TO THE BATTERY AT THIS STAGE

3. Route the insulated sleeved wires that run
from the relay to the driving light connectors
to each of your installed Striker LED
Driving Lights and connect the driving light
connectors to the back of each light. Ensure
that cables do not touch the radiator or
come in contact with any sharp edges

4. Secure all excess wire to the vehicle with
cable ties supplied.

STEP 3. CONNECT PATCH HARNESS
TO HEADLIGHT CONNECTOR

1. Select the HB3 or H4 patch harness (refer to

your vehicle’s owner’s manual and gures 4

and 5 below) to determine which is correct)
and connect it to a headlight connector on
your vehicle. If your headlights are a type
other than HB3 or H4, see item 3 below.

2. Connect the high beam pickup wires on the
driving light harness to the patch harness,
red to red, green to green.

3. NOTE: if you are installing into a vehicle with
headlights that are NOT HB3 or H4, you will
need to remove the bullet terminals on the
red and green high beam pickup wires on

the driving light harness (see gure 1) and

crimp each wire into a blue insulated male
spade terminals using a crimping tool. Then
clamp the provided t-taps to the high beam
wires on one of the vehicle’s headlights. Use
the red or blue t-taps depending on the wire
diameter. Finally, connect the blue insulated
male spade terminals into the t-taps on the
harness.

STEP 4. INSTALL THE DASH SWITCH

1. Find a suitable place on the dash to mount
the dash switch.

2. Disconnect the spade terminals at the back

of the dash switch (refer to gure 7 below)

3. Unscrew the plastic nut from the rear of
the dash switch

4. Carefully drill a hole for the dash switch
using a 12mm drill bit.

5. Push the dash switch through the hole, re-t
the plastic nut and reconnect the spade
terminals to the dash switch according the
switch wiring diagram in Figure 6.

STEP 5. CONNECT THE DASHBOARD
SWITCH LOOM

1. Route the dashboard switch loom
connector (on the driving light harness)

carefully through the vehicle’s rewall using

pointy nose pliers to pull the cable through.
A torch will help you to see what you are
doing. Be careful to avoid crushing the
connector. Ensure the wires are kept away
from any heat sources

2. Connect the dashboard switch loom
connector on the driving light harness (see

item 1, gure 1) to the dashboard switch

loom pictured in Figure 7 below. Note that
this standard switch illuminates only when
turned on.

If you are using a different switch with dash
illumination (not included), connect the dash
illumination cable (on the switch loom) to your
switch, as directed by the user instructions for
the switch.

STEP 6. CONNECT TO THE BATTERY

1. Connect the ring on the red wired battery
connector to the positive battery terminal
using a spanner

2. Connect the ring on the black wired battery
connector to the negative battery terminal
using a spanner.

STEP 7. SECURE CABLES

1. Use the supplied cable ties to secure all
loose cables and remove excess using wire
cutters.

STEP 8. TEST

1. Turn on the ignition and test correct light
operation by switching on your high beam.
Ensure the lights only activate when
switched to high beam.

SECURITY KIT (ATNSG2)

Simple-to-install security bolts and nuts help
protect your investment against theft. This kit
contains 4 x M10 x 35mm anti-theft bolts plus
2 x M10 security nuts for the mounting bolts,
both with corresponding coded keys requiring a
17mm, 11/16” spanner.

All bolts are machined from 304 stainless steel.

The key will only t the anti-theft bolts/nuts in

one position. Coded key is machined from steel
with zinc protective coating.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SECURING
LIGHT TO MOUNTING BRACKET
USING THE SECURITY KIT

1. Remove the standard M10 bolts and washers
from each side of the existing mounting

bracket and t the anti-theft bolts using the

security nut socket, reusing the existing
washers

2. Remove the standard M10 nyloc nut and
replace with anti-theft nyloc nuts as per the
diagram below.

STRIKER LED ACCESSORIES

Fig 8. Security Kit Mounting

DRIVING LIGHT FILTERS

Durable polycarbonate covers should remain

tted to driving lights at all times. Capable of

absorbing road grime and bombardment for
many years, these replaceable covers should
be renewed from time to time to protect your
investment and maintain maximum output.

Your Striker LED lights come standard with clear

spot lters (STRIKERFCS).

Clear combo (STRIKERFCC) and clear ood
(STRIKERFCF) lters are also available and can

be used to achieve a wider driving light beam

pattern or diffused ood of light.

STAINLESS STEEL BRACKET

This stainless steel bracket (STRIKERLEDBKT)
is supplied with an M10 x 35mm coach head
bolt with a nut and washer. These can be used
to mount a Striker LED vertically or horizontally
to any solid surface and allows the user more

exibility in directing the light.

TUBE MOUNTING BRACKETS

Lightforce supplies a variety of tube mounting
brackets to allow you to easily mount your
Striker LEDs to common nudge and roll bars.

SINGLE STRIKER LED

Lightforce supplies single Striker LED
Driving Lights (DLSTRIKERLEDX1) which are

packaged with a spot lter, a reversible mount

and hardware, user instructions and a 2 pin
waterproof connector.

The 2 pin waterproof connector allows the single
Striker LED to be wired into a Lightforce Driving
Light Harness.

Please consult the user instructions provided
with the single Striker LED for more information
on installation.
