5.2 Wiring Instructions

It is recommended to use a wiring harness with a relay and fuse (not included) for proper protection and operation.

  1. Connect Positive: Connect the positive wire (usually red) from the LED light to the positive terminal of your vehicle's battery, preferably through a fused relay circuit.
  2. Connect Negative: Connect the negative wire (usually black) from the LED light to a suitable ground point on the vehicle chassis or the negative terminal of the battery.
  3. Switch Connection: Wire a switch into the relay circuit to control the power to the lights.
  4. Test Functionality: Once all connections are made, re-connect the vehicle battery and test the lights to ensure they function correctly.

6. Operating Instructions

The Auto Power Plus LED lights are designed for straightforward operation.

  • Power On/Off: Activate the installed switch to turn the LED lights on or off.
  • Beam Pattern: These lights feature a combo beam pattern, providing both a focused spot beam for distance and a wide flood beam for peripheral vision, enhanced by the side-shooter LEDs.
