Safety Information

  • Always disconnect the vehicle's battery before performing any electrical work to prevent short circuits and electrical shock.
  • Ensure proper wiring connections (positive to positive, negative to negative) to avoid damage to the lights or vehicle's electrical system.
  • Do not exceed the specified voltage (12V).
  • Mount the lights securely to prevent them from becoming loose during vehicle operation.
  • Avoid direct eye exposure to the LED light when illuminated, as it can be very bright.
  • If you are unsure about the installation process, consult a qualified automotive technician.

Setup and Installation

  1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable flat surface on your vehicle for mounting. Ensure there is enough space behind the mounting surface for the threaded shaft and securing nut.
  2. Drill Mounting Hole: Using an appropriate drill bit (slightly larger than the 9mm thread diameter), drill a hole at the chosen location.
  3. Insert Light: Pass the threaded shaft of the LED light through the drilled hole.
  4. Secure Light: Place the washer and then thread the securing nut onto the shaft from the back of the mounting surface. Tighten the nut firmly to secure the light in place.
  5. Wiring:
    • Identify the positive (+) and negative (-) wires from the LED light. Typically, the red wire is positive and the black wire is negative.
    • Connect the positive wire of the LED light to a switched 12V positive power source in your vehicle (e.g., DRL circuit, fog light circuit, reverse light circuit).
    • Connect the negative wire of the LED light to a reliable ground point on the vehicle chassis.
    • Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
  6. Test Functionality: Reconnect the vehicle battery and test the lights to ensure they function correctly.

Note: For multiple lights, repeat the drilling and mounting steps. Connect all positive wires together and all negative wires together, then connect to the appropriate vehicle circuits. Consider using a relay for multiple lights to protect your vehicle's electrical system.

Operating Instructions

Once properly installed and wired, the ePathChina 9W Eagle Eye LED Lights will operate in conjunction with the circuit they are connected to. For example:

  • If wired as Daytime Running Lights (DRL), they will illuminate when the vehicle's ignition is on.
  • If wired as Fog Lights, they will activate with your vehicle's fog light switch.
  • If wired as Reversing/Backup Lights, they will illuminate when the vehicle is put into reverse gear.
  • If wired as Parking Signal Lights, they will activate with your vehicle's parking light circuit.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens of the lights with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens.
  • Connection Check: Occasionally inspect the wiring connections to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion.
  • Physical Inspection: Check the lights for any physical damage or loose mounting over time, especially after driving on rough terrain.
