1. Connect the DT Plugs from the LED Pod Lights to the corresponding DT Plugs on the wiring harness.
2. Connect the wiring harness to the Automotive Relay.
3. Ensure the Blade Fuse is correctly installed in the circuit.
4. Connect the power wires (red for positive, black for negative) to your vehicle's battery, ensuring the negative terminal is disconnected during this process.
5. Connect the control switch to the designated wires on the harness.
6. Once all connections are secure, reconnect the negative battery terminal.

Note: The wiring harness relay is 12V only. If your vehicle operates on 24V, the relay must be replaced with a compatible 24V relay.

Note: Slight size variations (1-3 cm / 0.4-1.18") may occur due to manual measuring and display settings.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AUXBEAM LED lights, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Regular Cleaning: Keep the light lenses clean from dirt, mud, and debris. Use a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
• Inspect Wiring: Periodically check the wiring harness for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Ensure all connections, especially the DT plugs, are secure and free from corrosion.
• Mounting Security: Verify that the mounting hardware remains tight and secure. Vibrations from driving can sometimes loosen bolts over time.
• Heatsink Clearance: Ensure the heatsink fins on the back of the lights are free from obstructions (e.g., mud, leaves) to allow for efficient heat dissipation.
• Waterproofing Check: Although rated IP68 waterproof, occasional inspection for any cracks or compromised seals after extreme conditions (e.g., heavy off-roading, pressure washing) is advisable.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your AUXBEAM LED lights, try the following troubleshooting steps:

• Lights Not Turning On:
  • Check all wiring connections for looseness or disconnections.
  • Verify that the vehicle's battery has sufficient charge.
  • Inspect the blade fuse in the wiring harness. Replace if blown.
  • Ensure the control switch is functioning correctly. (Refer to User Tips for common switch issues).
  • Confirm the relay is properly connected and functional.
• Flickering Lights:
  • Check for loose wiring connections or poor grounding.
  • Ensure the voltage supply is stable and within the 10-24V range.
  • Verify the integrity of the DT plugs.
• One Light Not Working:
  • Swap the non-working light with a known working one to determine if the issue is with the light unit or the wiring to that specific light.
  • Check the DT plug connection for the affected light.
• Amber DRL Not Working:
  • Ensure the red button on the control switch is being pressed correctly.
  • Check the DRL specific wiring for any disconnections.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact AUXBEAM support for further assistance.
