Setup and Installation
Before beginning installation, ensure your model vehicle is powered off and disconnected from any power source. Refer to your model vehicle's manual for specific instructions on accessing the headlight areas.
- Preparation: Carefully unpackage all components. Identify the left and right headlight units, if applicable, and any associated wiring harnesses.

- Wiring Connection: Connect the wiring harness from the headlight set to the appropriate power output or control unit on your model vehicle. Pay close attention to polarity (+/-) to avoid damage. Consult your model's wiring diagram if unsure.
- Cable Management: Route the wires neatly and securely within the model's chassis to prevent them from interfering with moving parts or becoming pinched. Use cable ties or clips if necessary.

Operating the Headlight Set
The operation of the Carson MB Arocs Headlight Set is typically controlled by the model vehicle's existing electronic system. Once properly installed and connected, the lights will function according to the model's design.
- Power On/Off: The headlights will usually turn on and off with the main power switch of your model vehicle.
- Light Functions: Depending on your model's capabilities and the headlight set's design, lights may include:
- Front headlights (low/high beam)
- Fog lights
- Roof-mounted auxiliary lights
- Amber warning lights
- Remote Control: If your model vehicle has a multi-channel remote control, certain light functions (e.g., flashing lights, high beams) might be controllable via specific channels or button combinations. Refer to your model's remote control manual for details.
Ensure all connections are secure before operating to prevent intermittent light function.
Maintenance and Care
Proper maintenance will extend the lifespan and performance of your headlight set.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the light lenses and housing with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the plastic.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the wiring for any signs of wear, fraying, or loose connections. Ensure all mounting screws remain tight.
- Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the model vehicle in a clean, dry environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Component Replacement: If individual LED bulbs or components fail, contact Carson customer support for replacement parts or service. Do not attempt to disassemble the sealed light units unless specifically instructed.
