3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the performance and safety of your LED lights. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified professional if you are unfamiliar with vehicle electrical systems.

3.1 Components Check

Before beginning, ensure all components are present:

• 1 x 14-Inch LED Light Bar
• 2 x 3-Inch LED Pod Lights
• 1 x Wiring Harness
• 1 set of Installation Accessories (mounting brackets, screws, nuts)

3.2 Mounting

1. Identify a suitable mounting location on your vehicle (e.g., bumper, roof rack, grille). Ensure the location provides a stable surface and does not obstruct vehicle lights or sensors.
2. Use the provided adjustable mounting brackets to secure the light bar and pod lights. The brackets allow for flexible repositioning to achieve the desired beam angle.
3. Mark and drill pilot holes if necessary, then firmly attach the brackets using appropriate hardware.
4. Mount the light bar and pod lights onto the secured brackets. Adjust the angle as needed before tightening all fasteners.

3.3 Wiring Connection

1. Connect the light bar and pod lights to the included wiring harness. Ensure all connections are secure and properly insulated.
2. Route the wiring harness safely, away from moving parts, hot surfaces, and sharp edges. Use cable ties to secure the wiring.
3. Connect the wiring harness to your vehicle's power source (DC9-36V). Typically, this involves connecting to the battery with an inline fuse and a switch for control.
4. Ensure the ground wire is securely connected to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle chassis.
5. Test the lights to confirm they function correctly before finalizing all connections and tidying up the wiring.

4. Operating Instructions

Once installed, operating your EVERGEAR LED lights is straightforward:

• Ensure your vehicle's ignition is in the 'ON' position or the engine is running, depending on how the lights are wired.
• Activate the lights using the switch connected to the wiring harness.
• The lights are designed for off-road use or in situations where additional illumination is permitted and safe. Always comply with local regulations regarding auxiliary lighting.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your EVERGEAR LED lights.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the lenses with a soft cloth and mild soap and water to remove dirt, mud, or debris that may obstruct light output. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
• Inspection: Regularly check all mounting hardware for tightness. Vibrations from vehicle operation can loosen fasteners over time.
• Wiring: Inspect the wiring harness for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Ensure all connections remain secure and free from corrosion.
• Heat Dissipation: The aluminum housing is designed for efficient heat dissipation. Ensure that the back of the light bar and pod lights are not obstructed to allow for proper airflow.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EVERGEAR LED lights, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Lights Not Turning On:
  • Check the power connection to the vehicle's battery.
  • Verify the inline fuse in the wiring harness. Replace if blown.
  • Ensure the ground connection is secure and free of corrosion.
  • Test the switch for proper operation.
• Lights Are Dim or Flickering:
  • Check for loose wiring connections or corrosion at terminals.
  • Ensure the vehicle's voltage is within the DC9-36V operating range.
  • Inspect for any damage to the wiring harness.
• Moisture Inside Lens:
  • While IP67 rated, extreme temperature changes can sometimes cause condensation. If persistent, check for cracks in the housing or seal damage.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, please contact EVERGEAR customer support for further assistance.
