Setup and Installation
This section provides general guidelines for installing your Go Rhino Xplor Lighting unit. Specific vehicle applications may vary. Professional installation is recommended.
1. Preparation
- Gather necessary tools: Wrenches, wire strippers, crimpers, electrical tape, multimeter, drill (if required for mounting location).

- Position the light unit at the chosen location.
- Secure the threaded stud mount using the provided hardware (nuts, washers) from the underside of the mounting surface. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten.
- Adjust the angle of the light as needed before final tightening.
3. Wiring Connections
The light unit supports Hi/Low Beam and Multi Daytime Running Light (DRL) functions. Proper wiring is essential for correct operation.

- Identify the wires from the light unit. Typically, these include:
- Ground: Connect to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle chassis or directly to the negative battery terminal.
- High Beam: Connect to the vehicle's high beam circuit.
- Low Beam: Connect to the vehicle's low beam circuit.
- DRL/Accent Light: Connect to a switched 12V power source that is active when the vehicle is on (e.g., ignition-switched accessory circuit).
- Use appropriate connectors (crimp connectors, solder and heat shrink) for all connections. Ensure connections are watertight and secure.
- Route all wiring safely, away from moving parts, exhaust, and sharp edges. Use zip ties or cable clamps to secure wiring.
4. Final Checks
- Reconnect the vehicle's negative battery terminal.
- Test all light functions (Hi Beam, Low Beam, DRL) to ensure they operate correctly.
- Verify that the light beam pattern is properly aimed and does not blind oncoming traffic. Adjust as necessary.

Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Go Rhino Xplor Lighting unit, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Light does not turn on. | No power, loose connection, blown fuse, incorrect wiring. | Check all wiring connections for tightness. Verify power at the light's input wires using a multimeter. Check vehicle's fuse box for blown fuses related to lighting circuits. Ensure proper ground connection. |
| Light flickers or is dim. | Poor electrical connection, insufficient voltage, faulty ground. | Inspect all wiring for corrosion or damage. Ensure connections are secure. Verify vehicle's charging system is operating correctly. Clean and re-secure ground connection. |
| Only one function (e.g., DRL) works. | Incorrect wiring for specific functions. | Review the wiring diagram and ensure each function's wire is connected to the correct vehicle circuit. |
| Moisture inside the lens. | Seal compromise, condensation. | Small amounts of condensation may dissipate. If significant moisture or water ingress is present, inspect the seals around the lens and housing. Contact customer support if the issue persists. |
