Setup and Installation
The Auxbeam 50-inch curved LED light bar is designed for universal fitment on 12V off-road vehicles. Installation typically involves mounting the light bar and connecting it to your vehicle's electrical system. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with automotive electrical systems.
Mounting the Light Bar
The light bar comes with two sets of 360-degree rotating metal side brackets. These brackets allow for angle adjustment to suit your specific needs.
The image above illustrates the adjustable side brackets, which can be rotated 360 degrees to achieve the desired light angle. Ensure all mounting hardware is securely tightened to prevent movement during vehicle operation.
The image above highlights the adjustable and durable design of the Auxbeam brackets compared to other designs.
Electrical Connection
The light bar includes a wiring harness for quick and convenient installation. Follow the wiring diagram provided with your harness for correct connection to your vehicle's 12V power source. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits and water ingress.
The image above shows the light bar with its included wiring harness.

Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Auxbeam LED light bar operates by connecting to your vehicle's 12V power system, typically through a switch (not included unless part of a separate wiring harness kit). Activate the light bar using the connected switch.
Beam Pattern
The light bar features a spot flood combo beam design. The 5D optical technology with dual reflector cups and projector lenses provides both long-distance spot illumination and wide-angle flood illumination for comprehensive visibility.

Maintenance
Cleaning
Regularly clean the lens and housing with a soft cloth and mild soap to maintain optimal light output. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or lens.
Heat Dissipation
The light bar is designed with advanced 6063 die-cast aluminum housing and multiple cooling fins for efficient heat dissipation. Ensure the fins are kept clear of mud, dirt, and other debris to allow for proper airflow and prevent overheating.

Waterproofing
The light bar conforms to IP68 waterproof and dustproof standards. It features military-grade respirators to balance internal and external temperatures, preventing fogging inside the lens. While highly resistant, avoid prolonged submersion or high-pressure washing directly at seals.
Troubleshooting
High-Pitched Noise (Whistling)
Some users have reported a high-pitched whistling noise, particularly at certain speeds or due to wind resistance against the cooling fins. This is often attributed to airflow over the heat sink fins.
This video demonstrates a user's experience with a whistling noise from the light bar.
This video discusses a user's negative experience with the light bar, including the whistling noise and mounting issues.
To mitigate this, some users have found success by applying weather stripping or rubber trim along the fins to disrupt airflow. This can reduce or eliminate the noise.
Loose Mounting Brackets
The provided mounting brackets are designed for secure installation. However, prolonged vibration, especially during off-road use or trailering, can potentially loosen the mounting points or cause wear on the bracket teeth.
This video discusses a user's negative experience with the light bar, including the whistling noise and mounting issues.
Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Consider using thread-locking compounds for added security in high-vibration environments. Regularly inspect mounting points for any signs of wear or loosening and re-tighten as necessary.
