®
line of lights is designed to be mounted on the inside of your vehicle. They are not intended for exterior applications and are not warranted against water damage.
It is the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure the warning light is secure. Check your light every time you enter the vehicle to ensure that it is mounted securely. The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the secure mounting of this light.
The following mounting instructions describe the standard, most common way to mount this light. This method may or may not apply to your vehicle. Because vehicles can vary widely in their design, it may be necessary to configure the brackets differently than described. Some applications may require you to design your own custom brackets. The installer assumes all responsibility for the integrity of the installation. It is the sole responsibility of the owner to ensure the light is secure.

Mounting (CONT'D)
These lights are designed to be mounted in the front windshield of a vehicle using the pre-existing visor clips.
1. Slide the enclosed rubber channel over the front edge of the baffle .
2. Insert a carriage bolt through one of the 1/4” washers and slide it through the back of each of the long L-brackets. Please
note that washer is used as a spacer on the square neck of the carriage bolt.
3. Remove the four of the #8 Phillips head screws shown to the right from the light and add the # 8 washers. Use them to install the long L-brackets.
CAUTION: Take extreme caution not to over tighten the screws!!!

4. Attach a forked bracket to each L-bracket using one of the nuts.
Note: There are two different style forked brackets included. Use the one that suits your application best.
Leave the nut slightly loose to allow for minor adjustments during the remainder of the installation.
Mounting (CONT'D)
5. Locate the two visor clips on the vehicle. The style may vary from vehicle to vehicle. Some styles use only one screw each, while others may have more. Verify that both visor clips are a minimum of 3” from the center of the window, and a maximum of 8” from the center.
6. Loosen (or remove if necessary) both visor clips enough that one of the forked brackets can easily slide under each of them.
7. Slide one forked bracket under each visor clip and tighten the clip such that it securely holds each bracket in place.
8. Some vehicles may not have visor clips appropriate for this application, or may completely lack any visor clips. An alternate mounting screw hole is provided in the bracket for these situations. Use an appropriate screw or other suitable fastener to attach the light to the roof brace under the headliner of the vehicle or some other appropriate mounting surface.
CAUTION: Take care to ensure when selecting a screw and drilling the hole that it is capable of supporting the weight of the light and that it does not penetrate the roof of the vehicle.
Bend here if
necessary
10. Check your mount from the outside of the vehicle to ensure the desired angle is achieved. Stand 20 feet from the vehicle and inspect the light through the window. Make any final adjustments necessary.
9. Once the brackets are installed securely under the visor clips or with a suitable fastener, check to see that the bottom of the light is level front-to-back. If it is not level, remove the light from the visor clips and carefully bend the forked brackets as necessary. Reinstall the light and check again for levelness. Repeat this process until the light is level.

These lights use state-of-the-art Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology. These warning lights are comprised of ultra-high intensity LEDs that are controlled by a solid state flasher unit to efficiently produce light output with lifetimes up to 100,000 hours. Under normal circumstances, you will not need to replace any LEDs in this light. If any of the LED's in your light do fail, please contact Star Headlight for arrangements to have them repaired. The flasher unit and heads CANNOT be serviced in the field and any attempt to do so will void the warranty.
NOTE:
Most failures can be traced to wiring and battery problems. Check "quick-connects” and wiring to insure that correct voltage/polarity is reaching the electronic strobe light/LED beacon.
