Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and extend the lifespan of your Auxbeam V-Ultra Series LED Light Bar, follow these maintenance guidelines:

  • Breather Valve: The light bar features a military breather valve designed to prevent moisture buildup. Ensure it remains clear of obstructions.
  • Protective Covers: Use the included black protective covers when the lights are not in use, especially during storage or when driving on public roads where auxiliary lights may need to be covered.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Auxbeam V-Ultra Series LED Light Bar, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

    • Verify the fuse in the wiring harness is not blown. Replace if necessary.
    • Ensure the vehicle's battery has sufficient power.
    • Test the switch for proper functionality.
  • Flickering Lights:
    • Inspect wiring for loose connections or damaged insulation.
    • Ensure the power source is stable and providing consistent voltage.
    • The light bar has built-in anti-flicker and EMC technology; if flickering persists, consult customer support.
  • Dim or Uneven Illumination:
    • Clean the light bar lenses to remove any dirt or obstructions.
    • Check for proper voltage supply to the light bar.
    • Ensure the light bar is securely mounted and not vibrating.
