2. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your cab marker lights. Professional installation is recommended if you are unfamiliar with automotive electrical systems or drilling procedures.
2.1. Pre-Installation Check
- Verify vehicle compatibility (Hummer H2 2003-2009, USA Made).
- Ensure all components are present: 5 amber light covers, 5 T10 yellow halogen bulbs, 5 soft pads.
- Gather necessary tools: drill, appropriate drill bits, screwdriver, wire strippers, electrical tape, silicone sealant (optional but recommended for sealing).
2.2. Mounting the Light Covers
- Positioning: Determine the exact mounting locations on your vehicle's roof. For Hummer H2, these lights are typically installed as front-facing roof lights.
- Drilling: Carefully mark and drill holes for mounting screws and wiring. Ensure precise measurements to avoid damage.
- Soft Pads: Apply the included soft pads between the light covers and the vehicle's surface. These pads are designed for both flat and curved roofs and help create a seal. Note that some pads may have adhesive on both sides, which can make future bulb changes difficult. Consider applying silicone sealant around the base for additional waterproofing, especially if the pads do not provide a complete seal.
- Secure Covers: Mount the amber light covers using appropriate fasteners (not included, typically re-use existing or acquire new).

2.3. Bulb Installation and Wiring
- Insert Bulbs: Insert the T10 yellow halogen bulbs into the sockets within each light cover.
- Wiring: Connect the wiring from the new lights to your vehicle's existing wiring harness for the cab marker lights. Ensure proper polarity. If the bulbs do not light up after installation, simply flip the bulb 180 degrees to reverse the polarity.
- Test: Before fully securing all components, test the lights to ensure they function correctly.

3. Operating Instructions
Once properly installed and wired, the Partsam Cab Marker Roof Running Top Lights will operate in conjunction with your vehicle's existing lighting system. They are designed to illuminate when your vehicle's running lights or headlights are activated, providing enhanced visibility on the road.
4. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the light covers with a soft cloth and mild soap solution to remove dirt and road grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
- UV Protection: The lenses are UV-treated to resist fading from prolonged exposure to sunlight and weather elements, ensuring long-lasting clarity.
- Bulb Replacement: If a bulb burns out, replace it with a T10 194 168 W5W 2825 yellow halogen bulb. When replacing, ensure proper polarity by flipping the bulb 180 degrees if it does not light up initially.
- Seal Integrity: Periodically inspect the seals around the lights for any signs of wear or damage to prevent water intrusion. Reapply silicone sealant if necessary.
5. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not illuminate | Incorrect bulb polarity | Remove the bulb and reinsert it flipped 180 degrees. |
| Lights do not illuminate | Blown fuse or faulty wiring connection | Check vehicle's fuse box and all wiring connections. Repair or replace as needed. |
| Water inside light cover | Improper seal or damaged soft pad | Ensure soft pads are correctly positioned. Apply automotive-grade silicone sealant around the base of the light cover. |
| Lights do not fit perfectly | Minor manufacturing variations or vehicle-specific fitment challenges | Minor filing or trimming of tabs may be required for optimal fitment, as noted by some users. Proceed with caution. |
