INSTALLATION

2.

(1) For lamp installation, a hole with a diameter
of 14mm is required. Make necessary

preparation such as installation of lamp bracket.

(2) Using the Rubber cushion, flat washer, spring washer and nut install the lamp

to the car ensuring the PIAA logo reads right side up for proper mounting/draining.

• When using a commercially supplied lamp bracket, before removing the bolt
that is already installed on the car body, make sure that it is safe to do so.

• The lamp should be mounted in an area sufficient to support its size and weight.
Failure to do so may result in excess vibration leading to shorter bulb life and or
physical damage to the lamp or your vehicle.

• Do not attempt to install the lamp directly to any plastic part of the car body

.
If the lamp needs to be installed on the plastic reinforcement materials should be
placed on both sides of the plastic part.

• When installing, make sure the lamp body, lens and rim are not touching th

e

bumper and other plastic parts. Such plastic parts might deform.

• The lamp installation surface should be flat.

INSTALLATION

When connecting the wires on the harness, follow the
wiring diagram and the sequence below.

Before connecting any wires disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal.

Note: When running the wires through the engine compartment be sure to

Note: Holding the cord securely with pliers make sure the one-touch

connector is properly closed.

keep them securely away from moving parts such as the fan and the
throttle cable and away from hot parts such as the exhaust manifold.

Pull the connector for the relay harness switch into the car and connect to the
switch harness.

Identify the best location for the switch then attach the switch to the vehicle
using the double-sided adhesive tape (included).

As shown, fix the relay unit with the hexagonal bolt and the hexagonal nut so
that the cord comes to the bottom side.

Connect the switch power wire (white w/ red stripes) to your power source with
the supplied splicing connector.

Connect the lights to the wiring harness at this time.

Ground the (-) cord on the body side.

Connect the (+) cord (white) and the battery (+) terminal, and the black
(-) ground wire to the negative terminal of the battery.

Connect the (-) power cord (black) and the battery (-) terminal to the battery.

Use the harness band (included with P.N.34088) to fix the relay harness to the
car body side harness so that it will not come in contact with any movable
engine and or high temperature parts.

DRIVING LIGHT

AIMIN

G

Typically, driving lights are mounted above the front bumper about 14-30 inches
from the ground to provide extra high beam illumination. Driving lights can be
mounted below the bumper, although they will not be as effective because the
light will hit the ground sooner and reduce the range of the light

.

Visual aim is made with the center of the beam hot spot 1.5 inches below the
lamp center at 25 feet with the lamp facing straight forward. (see below.)

Since the RS800 Halogen shock lamp is a dual filament lamp, you should aim
your lights with the high beams of the lights turned on.

Do not use driving lights into oncoming traffic.
Driving lights should never be the only foreword light source.
Driving lights should only be used with the headlamp high beams.

BULB CHANGE METHOD

The customers should not do
the installation work.

6.

•Never change the bulb when the lamp switch is turned on. Abnormal electric
discharge occurs, and electrification might result. It can be very dangerous.

of the lamp.
