Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the performance and longevity of your DENALI DM LED Light Pods. It is recommended that installation be performed by a qualified technician if you are unfamiliar with vehicle electrical systems.
1. Package Contents
- DM LED Light Pods (2 units)
- TriOptic™ Lens Kit (includes clear spot lenses pre-installed, and flood lenses)
- Mounting Hardware
- Wiring Harness (sold separately or included in specific kits)
2. Mounting the Light Pods
- Identify a suitable mounting location on your vehicle that provides clear light projection and does not obstruct other vehicle functions.
- Secure the mounting brackets to the desired location using the provided hardware. Ensure the brackets are firmly attached.
- Attach the DM LED Light Pods to the mounting brackets. Adjust the angle to achieve the desired beam direction.
- Tighten all fasteners to prevent movement during vehicle operation.
3. Electrical Connection
Connect the light pods to your vehicle's electrical system using a suitable wiring harness (not always included).
- Connect the positive wire from the light pods to a switched 12V power source, preferably through a relay and fuse.
- Connect the negative wire from the light pods to a reliable ground point on the vehicle chassis.
- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits.
Operating Instructions
The DENALI DM LED Light Pods are designed for versatile illumination.
1. Powering On/Off
Once properly wired, the lights will activate via the connected switch or vehicle's high beam circuit, depending on your installation configuration.
2. TriOptic™ Lens System
The TriOptic™ Lens System allows for customization of the beam pattern. Each light pod comes with a clear spot lens pre-installed. An optional flood lens is included to provide different beam options.
- Spot Beam: Achieved with the pre-installed clear spot lenses. Provides a concentrated beam reaching approximately 395 feet (per pair).
- Flood Beam: Achieved by replacing the spot lenses with the included flood lenses. Provides a wider beam, approximately 150 feet wide. These flood lenses are E-Mark certified.
- Hybrid Beam: Achieved by using one spot lens and one flood lens per pair, offering a balance of distance and width.
3. Changing Lenses
- Ensure the light pods are off and cool to the touch.
- Carefully remove the front bezel of the light pod.
- Gently remove the installed lens.
- Insert the desired lens (spot or flood) into the housing, ensuring it is seated correctly.
- Reattach the front bezel securely.
Note: Additional amber or selective yellow lenses can be purchased separately for specific weather conditions or increased visibility.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your DENALI DM LED Light Pods.
- Cleaning: Clean the lenses and housing periodically with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the lens or damage the finish.
- Inspection: Regularly check all mounting hardware and electrical connections for tightness and corrosion. Tighten any loose fasteners.
- Lens Condition: Inspect lenses for cracks or damage. Replace damaged lenses promptly to maintain light output and weather sealing.
