- Permanent Mount: Utilize the included stainless steel mounting feet for a secure, permanent installation on a flat surface. Ensure the mounting surface is robust enough to support the light bar's weight and withstand vehicle vibrations.
- Headache Rack Mount: The light bar can be adapted for mounting on an optional headache rack. Consult the headache rack manufacturer's instructions for compatible mounting hardware and procedures.

5.2 Wiring Instructions
- Disconnect Power: Before beginning any wiring, disconnect the vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shorts or damage.
- Identify Wires: The light bar will have wires for power, ground, and potentially control wires for flash pattern selection or color changes (for dual-color models). Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your specific light bar model.
- Connect Power: Connect the positive (+) wire from the light bar to a fused 12-24 volt DC power source in the vehicle. Ensure the fuse is appropriately rated for the light bar's wattage (99W).
- Connect Ground: Connect the negative (-) wire from the light bar to a reliable chassis ground point on the vehicle.
- Connect Control Wires (if applicable): If your model has control wires for flash patterns or color selection, connect them according to the provided wiring diagram to a suitable switch or control module.
- Secure Wiring: Route all wiring safely, away from hot or moving parts, and secure it with cable ties or clamps to prevent chafing or damage.
- Test Functionality: Reconnect the vehicle's battery and test the light bar's operation, including all flash patterns and color options (if applicable).
Note: Always adhere to local and national regulations regarding the installation and use of warning lights on vehicles.

6.2 Flash Pattern Selection
For models with multiple flash patterns (up to 35 for single-color, up to 91 for dual-color), a dedicated control wire or switch is typically used to cycle through the available patterns. Consult your specific wiring diagram and control module instructions for detailed operation.
