Before installation of the light bar is attempted, it is important to read these instructions completely. The lives of
people are dependent on a proper installation of the light bar to the vehicle. The person installing this light bar
must have advanced knowledge of the proper method for mounting and securing the light bar to a vehicle’s roof
or exterior, as well as knowledge of the vehicle’s electrical system. Again, read this manual completely and note
any messages marked “IMPORTANT” or “WARNING’’. A safe installation will prevent serious injury or damage
to the vehicle.

LOOKOUT comes completely wired and does not require any internal wiring by the installer. The power cable
has all the required wires with factory installed terminals and connectors for a successful installation.

Installation of the LOOKOUT Light Bar requires drilling into the vehicle. The installer must carefully inspect both
sides of the selected locations to ensure that there are no components, wires and/or any other vehicle part that
could be damaged by drilling. IMPORTANT: Always de-burr any drilled holes, ensuring that there are no sharp
edges. Install a rubber grommet into all metal holes that the wires are being routed through.

Always refer to the vehicle’s shop manual for deployment location of air bags. Never install the light bar’s switch
control panel, wires and or components in the deployment area of any air bag. Improper installation could
reduce the effectiveness of the vehicle’s air bag system and or project an object that could cause serious
personal injury or death to driver and passenger. The user/installer assumes all responsibility to properly
access a safe mounting location of the light bar’s control panel, to provide ultimate safety to the driver and
passengers inside the vehicle.

The vehicle operator and or maintenance department should inspect the light bar frequently to ensure all
brackets are securely attached to the vehicle and that all mounting hardware is free of corrosion.

The light bar’s control panel should be mounted in a location where the switches can be easily reached. Never
attempt to turn light bar on/off when driving under hazardous conditions.

These installation instructions should always be kept and stored in a safe location so that they can be referred
to when information, maintenance or reinstallation is required.

Failure to follow all safety precautions and installation procedures outlined in these instructions could result in
property damage to the vehicle, serious injury or death to you or others.

MOUNTING LIGHT BAR

1. Place the light bar on the selected location of the vehicle’s roof. A preferred mounting position on the roof
is close to the B-pillar, which is the strongest part of the roof. IMPORTANT: Make sure the light bar is facing
the correct direction. NOTE: there is a label on the light’s front lens indicating the forward facing work light.

2. Make sure the selected location of the
light bar will allow the stainless steel
straps to attach to the vehicle window
ledge on both the driver’s and passenger
sides. See fig 1.

3. A 1/2’’ hole is needed to be drilled in the roof to route both cables into the interior of the vehicle. Mark the
desired hole location; remove the light bar from the roof and drill the hole. The installer must lower the
headliner to carefully inspect selected location to ensure that there are no components, wires and or any
other vehicle part that could be damaged before drilling. WARNING: The roof has support members that
span across from the driver’s and passenger side of the vehicle. NEVER drill into a support member! It will
be necessary to relocate cable’s access hole to avoid coming into contact with the support member.

4. IMPORTANT: Protect the vehicle’s interior headliner from damage that could be caused when drilling the
access hole for the light bar’s power cable. Always allow a minimum distance of 6“ to 8” between the roof
and headliner by lowering the headliner before drilling the access hole.

5. IMPORTANT: Always de-burr the access hole by using a round file to ensure there are no sharp edges.

6. Supplied with the light bar is a rubber grommet; insert the grommet into the
access hole. See figs. 1 and 2.

7. Position the light bar back onto the roof of the vehicle. There are two
adjustable brackets located on the bottom of the light bar. The installer will
need to adjust the location of the two brackets, each having two-(2) rubber
pads, to be close to the edge of the roof. IMPORTANT: Always make sure
that each of the protective rubber pads are in full contact with the roof. To
adjust each bracket, loosen the four 9.5mm bolts, slide the bracket into
position, and tighten the bolts securely. Repeat the same procedure for the
bracket on the other end of the light bar. See fig. 3.

8. Remove the tension adjustment bolts from brackets located on the bottom of
the light bar. See fig. 4.

9. Open the vehicle’s door and determine the location
that the stainless steel strap will clamp to the
windows ledge. You may need to move the rubber
weather-strip away from the vehicle. Only remove
enough weather-strip so that the area where the
stainless steel strap will be secured to the vehicle
is exposed. Repeat the procedure for other side of
vehicle.

10. Remove the blue protective film covering the
stainless steel straps. Place one of the stainless
steel straps into position on the window ledge
so the installer can determine which hole in the
stainless steel strap is best to attach the “L” bracket.
Insert the tension adjustment bolt through the
strap’s stainless steel “L” bracket and thread bolt
into the light bar’s bracket, hand tighten. IMPORTANT: The stainless steel strap can be repositioned with
the “L” bracket for proper installation by simply removing the stainless steel strap. Reposition and secure the
“L” bracket in preferred location, repeat the same procedure for other side of vehicle. WARNING: The two-
(2) stainless steel straps included with the light bar are universal and should securely hold onto the window
ledge of most vehicles. Some vehicles may require a custom designed strap to properly secure the light bar
to the vehicle’s window ledge. Always make sure that both straps have a full hold on the vehicles window
ledge.
