5. Setup and Installation
The NOVSIGHT LED Pods come with a plug-and-play wiring harness for simplified installation. Follow these steps:
- Preparation: Ensure the vehicle's ignition is off and the battery is disconnected. Identify the desired mounting location for the LED pods (e.g., bumper, A-pillar, roof rack).
- Mounting the Lights: Attach the provided brackets to the LED pods using the smaller screws and spacers. Securely mount the assembled lights to your chosen location on the vehicle using appropriate hardware. Ensure the lights are aimed correctly.
- Wiring Connection: Connect the LED pods to the included wiring harness. The harness is designed to connect directly to your vehicle's 12V power source (battery) and includes a switch for operation.
- Route Wiring: Carefully route the wiring harness, ensuring it is secured away from moving parts, hot surfaces, and sharp edges. Use zip ties or cable clips as needed.
- Connect to Power: Connect the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of the wiring harness to your vehicle's battery terminals. Ensure correct polarity.
- Switch Installation: Install the control switch in a convenient and accessible location within the vehicle's cabin.
- Final Check: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Test the lights to ensure they function correctly.

6. Operating Instructions
The NOVSIGHT 4 Inch LED Pods feature dual-color functionality (White and Amber DRL) and a main driving light. The included wiring harness switch allows for easy control.
- White DRL (Daytime Running Light): Activate this mode for a bright white accent light, enhancing vehicle visibility during the day.
- Main Light Source: Engage this mode for the primary, powerful white driving beam, providing extensive illumination for off-road trails and low-visibility conditions.
- Amber DRL (Daytime Running Light): Switch to this mode for an amber accent light, which can be particularly useful in foggy or dusty conditions, or for aesthetic preference. The snap-on amber covers can be used for additional amber light effect or protection.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the lenses with a soft cloth and mild soap and water to remove dirt, mud, and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens or housing.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the mounting hardware and wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Tighten any loose bolts and replace damaged wiring as necessary.
- Amber Covers: If using the amber covers, ensure they are securely snapped onto the lights. Clean them as you would the main lenses.
- Heat Dissipation: Ensure the heat sinks on the back of the lights are free from obstructions to allow for proper heat dissipation, which is crucial for the longevity of the LEDs.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power, loose connection, blown fuse, faulty switch. | Check battery connections, inspect wiring harness for loose connections, check fuse in the wiring harness, test the switch. |
| Lights flicker or are dim. | Insufficient power, poor ground connection, loose wiring. | Ensure proper voltage supply (12V DC), check ground connection for corrosion or looseness, secure all wiring connections. |
| Moisture inside the lens. | Seal compromised, condensation. | Small amounts of condensation may dissipate naturally. If persistent or significant, inspect seals for damage. Ensure the self-dispersion breathing hole is clear. |
| Amber DRL not working. | Incorrect switch setting, wiring issue specific to DRL circuit. | Ensure the switch is set to the Amber DRL mode. Check wiring connections for the DRL circuit. |
