5.2. Wiring Instructions

The light bar features a 3-wire connection system. Proper wiring is crucial for correct functionality.

5.3. Mounting

The light bar is designed for surface mounting. It includes two screw holes for secure attachment to a flat surface on your vehicle or trailer. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat before installation.

1. Position the light bar in the desired location.
2. Mark the positions for the two screw holes.
3. Drill pilot holes if necessary, ensuring they are appropriate for the provided screws.
4. Secure the light bar using the provided screws, ensuring a snug fit without overtightening.

6. Operation

Once properly installed and wired, the light bar will function according to the electrical signals from your vehicle:

• When the vehicle's running lights are on, the light bar will illuminate at low brightness (via the Gray wire).
• When the brake pedal is pressed or a turn signal is activated, the light bar will illuminate at high brightness (via the Red wire).

This dual-brightness functionality allows it to serve as a tail light, stop light, turn signal, and identification light.

7. Maintenance

The Partsam 17 Inch 40 LED Red Trailer Light Bar is designed for minimal maintenance due to its sealed, waterproof construction and LED technology.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens with a soft cloth and mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris that may obstruct light output. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Regularly check the mounting screws for tightness and inspect the wiring for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage.
• Waterproof Integrity: The light bar is IP67 rated, meaning it is protected against dust and can withstand immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. Avoid prolonged submersion or high-pressure water jets directly on the seals.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your light bar, consider the following:

• Light Not Illuminating:
  • Check all wire connections (ground, power) for looseness or corrosion.
  • Verify that the vehicle's electrical system is providing 12V power to the light bar wires.
  • Inspect the vehicle's fuses related to the lighting circuit.
• Incorrect Brightness/Function:
  • Ensure the Red and Gray wires are connected to the correct high and low brightness circuits, respectively.
  • Confirm that the vehicle's signals (brake, tail) are functioning correctly.
• Flickering Light:
  • Check for loose connections or intermittent power supply.
  • Ensure proper grounding.
