4. Installation Instructions

This headlight assembly is designed for direct replacement in compatible Freightliner Century models. While often described as 'plug and play', minor adjustments may be necessary for optimal fitment.

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
2. Remove Old Headlight: Locate and remove the fasteners securing the existing LH headlight assembly. Carefully disconnect the electrical connectors and remove the old headlight unit from the vehicle.
3. Inspect Mounting Area: Clean the mounting area and inspect for any damage or debris that might hinder the new headlight's fitment.
4. Test Fit New Headlight: Carefully position the new United Pacific 31203 LH Headlight Assembly into the opening. Ensure proper alignment. Some users have reported that mounting holes may require minor adjustment for a perfect fit. If necessary, gently adjust the mounting points on the vehicle or the headlight assembly to align the holes.

8. Functionality Test: Turn on the vehicle's lights and test all functions: low beam, high beam, LED turn signal, and position light bar.
9. Aim Headlights: Properly aim the headlights according to local regulations and manufacturer guidelines to ensure optimal visibility and prevent blinding oncoming traffic.

5. Operating Instructions

The United Pacific 31203 Headlight Assembly operates in conjunction with your vehicle's existing lighting controls.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your headlight assembly.

• Cleaning: Clean the headlight lens regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the lens material.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the headlight assembly for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose connections. Ensure all bulbs are functioning correctly.
• Bulb Replacement: If a bulb fails, replace it with an H7 (low beam) or 9005 (high beam) bulb of the correct wattage. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific bulb replacement procedures, as access may vary.
