6. Operating Instructions

The Auxbeam Side Shooter LED Lights feature multiple lighting modes controlled by the included switch.

6.1 Lighting Modes

The lights offer three distinct modes:

• Main Light with Side Shooter ON (3000K): Activates the primary LED chips and the side shooter LEDs for maximum forward and peripheral illumination.
• Amber DRL ON (3000K): Activates the amber Daytime Running Lights (DRL) for enhanced visibility during the day or as a stylistic accent.
• All Lights ON: Combines the main light, side shooters, and amber DRLs for comprehensive lighting.

Cycle through these modes using the ON/OFF switch. Each press of the switch will typically change the mode.

6.2 Protective Covers

The included black protective covers serve multiple purposes:

• Road Legal Compliance: In some regions, auxiliary lights must be covered when not in use on public roads.
• Lens Protection: Protects the light lenses from scratches, impacts, and debris when off-road or parked.
• Aesthetic: Provides a rugged, custom look to your vehicle.

Attach the covers when driving on public roads or when the lights are not needed to extend their lifespan and comply with regulations.

7. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your Auxbeam LED lights.

• Cleaning: Clean the lenses regularly with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the polycarbonate lens.
• Inspection: Periodically check all mounting hardware for tightness. Vibrations from driving can loosen fasteners over time.
• Wiring: Inspect the wiring harness for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. Ensure all connections remain secure and waterproof.
• Breather Vent: The lights are equipped with a military breather vent. Ensure it remains clear of debris to allow proper pressure equalization and prevent condensation.
