Safety Precautions
- Always ensure the vehicle's power is completely off and the battery is disconnected before beginning any installation or wiring work to prevent electrical hazards.
- Connect all wiring according to the instructions provided to avoid short circuits, electrical damage, or fire.
- Do not look directly into the light beam when the lights are active, as the high intensity can cause eye strain or temporary vision impairment.
- Ensure all mounting hardware is securely fastened. Loose lights can become a hazard during vehicle operation.
- If you are unsure about any part of the installation process, it is recommended to consult a qualified professional.
Installation Guide
Step 1: Prepare for Installation
Before starting, ensure your vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected to prevent any electrical hazards during the installation process.
Step 2: Mount the Lights
Attach the provided mounting brackets to each auxiliary light unit. Securely fasten the lights to your desired location on the vehicle, such as handlebars, crash bars, or bumper, using the included screws and nuts. The 180° adjustable design allows you to customize the light angle for optimal illumination.

Step 3: Wiring Connection
Identify the three wires extending from each light unit. Connect them as follows:
- Yellow Wire: Connect this wire to the low beam circuit of your vehicle. This will activate the amber light mode.
- Red Wire: Connect this wire to the high beam circuit of your vehicle. This will activate the white light mode.
- Black Wire: Connect this wire to the negative or ground terminal of your vehicle's electrical system.
Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly insulated using electrical tape or heat shrink tubing to prevent short circuits and protect against moisture.

Step 4: Test Functionality
Once all connections are made, reconnect the vehicle battery and turn on the ignition. Test both the low beam (amber) and high beam (white) functions to ensure they operate correctly and illuminate as expected.
Operating Instructions
Switching Light Modes
The PLUSBEAM auxiliary lights offer dual-color functionality (white for high beam, amber for low beam). The method for switching between these modes depends on how they are integrated into your vehicle's electrical system:
- Separate Switches: If the yellow and red wires are connected to individual switches, use the respective switch to activate either the amber (low beam) or white (high beam) light.
- Single Switch with Sequential Switching: If wired to a single switch designed for sequential operation, rapidly cycle the switch (e.g., turn off then immediately on) to alternate between the amber and white light modes.

Care and Maintenance
- Cleaning: To maintain optimal light output and clarity, regularly clean the lens of the auxiliary lights with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens material.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect all mounting bolts and wiring connections. Ensure they remain tight and show no signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Re-tighten any loose fasteners.
- Heat Dissipation: The integrated heat sink is crucial for the lights' longevity. Ensure the heat sink fins are kept clear of dirt, mud, and debris to allow for efficient cooling and prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | Loose wiring connection, blown fuse, incorrect wiring, insufficient power supply. | Check all wiring connections for tightness. Inspect vehicle fuses and replace if necessary. Verify wiring against the installation instructions. Ensure the power supply is within the 12-80V DC range. |
| Only one light mode works (e.g., only white or only amber). | Incorrect wiring for dual-color function, faulty switch. | Re-check the connections for the red (white light) and yellow (amber light) wires. If using a switch, test its functionality or try bypassing it temporarily to isolate the issue. |
| Lights flicker or appear dim. | Loose connection, low voltage from vehicle, damaged wiring, corrosion at terminals. | Inspect all connections for looseness or corrosion and clean if necessary. Verify the vehicle's voltage output. Check for any damaged or frayed wires. |
