5. Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your LED light bar. It is recommended to have this product installed by a qualified professional if you are unfamiliar with automotive electrical systems.
5.1 Safety Precautions
- Disconnect the vehicle's battery before starting any electrical work.
- Ensure the mounting location is secure and can support the weight of the light bar.
- Avoid mounting in locations that obstruct the driver's view or interfere with vehicle safety features.
- Use appropriate wiring gauges and fuses to prevent electrical overload.
5.2 Mounting Steps
- Select Mounting Location: Choose a suitable location on your vehicle (e.g., roof, bumper, grille) that provides optimal light projection and does not interfere with vehicle operation.
- Assemble Brackets: Attach the adjustable mounting brackets to the light bar using the provided hardware.
- Secure Light Bar: Position the light bar with the assembled brackets onto the chosen mounting surface. Mark and drill holes if necessary. Secure the brackets firmly to the vehicle.
