MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

Light Unit/Permanent Mount

Determine the location for the light on your vehicle or boat.  Remove 

the mounting plate from the light.  Center the mounting plate with the 

vise screw on the mounting plate to the back.  Mark the hole locations 

for the three mounting screws and drill a pilot hole for each with 1/8 

inch bit.  Fasten the stainless steel mounting plate with the 3 #10 – 

16x3/4 type AB cross recessed pan head  

tapping screws.  Drill a 1/4” hole (wireless) or a 5/8” hole (hard-wired) 

in the center of the mounting plate opening to accommodate the power 

wire or wiring harness and connector. Attach the  

connector that is affixed to the underside of the light to the  

corresponding connector on the wiring harness (hard-wired).   

Position the connection point beneath the mounting surface, and apply 

silicone sealant around wire to seal the drilled opening. 

Wet the mounting surface with a small amount of water or  

lubricant for easier installation, then place the light over the  

mounting plate by sliding the front of the light over the front of the  

mounting plate, first pull the light backwards, then seat the back of the 

light on to the mounting plate.  Displace the back of the gasket and 

install the vise screw (provided). Tighten the vise screw using a Phillips 

head screwdriver.  Replace the gasket. 

Light Unit/Magnetic Mount 

Select the best location on your vehicle for the magnetic mount 

Stryker.  Make sure the metal area under the magnetic base is flat 

and clean to ensure a strong bond.   Route the power cord into the 

vehicle through a door frame and connect to 12V power outlet.   The 

magnetic mount Stryker™ should be removed from vehicle’s exterior 

while traveling at excessive speeds and in strong wind conditions.

Dash Control/Permanent Mount

Determine the appropriate location for the dash mount control and 

create a 2 inch opening to accommodate the cylinder on the rear of 

the remote.  Remove the outer rubber cover and affix the control to 

the dash with the four screws provided.  The word ”TOP” is em-

bossed on the control and should be situated accordingly.  All wiring 

should be undertaken with power removed from the system.  First, at-

tach the connector that is affixed to the control to the corresponding 

connector on the wiring harness.  Next, join the leads at the remote 

to 12volt DC power with appropriate automotive wire attachments; 

the red wire is the positive lead and the black wire is the negative 

lead--the unit is polarity sensitive and care must be taken to observe 

this.  Note:  Once power is applied to the system the light will pan 

and tilt prior to bulb illumination.  As a safety feature, the control is 

backlit to indicate bulb illumination only.  

Each spotlight needs to be wired on a single dedicated circuit and 

the power fused at 10 amps.  With the power connected, your light is 

ready for operation.

             

Wireless Dash Control

If you have a wireless dash control, please note that it is vital for this 

to be attached to a flat / smooth surface with the 4 mounting screws 

included.  The arrow under the rubber cover should point up.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL FOR TRANSMITTER

Remove battery cover: for wireless hand-held transmitter, remove 

phillips head screw to remove cover. For wireless dash mount remote, 

simply remove the exterior rubber cover.  With battery compartment 

now exposed, insert batteries according to the correct polarity or 

gently remove batteries by grabbing the positive end and lifting up.

PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS

The Golight® Stryker™ is controlled with a programmable  

remote with 2187 different channels.  This feature allows you  

the freedom to change the channel selection, and the receiver re-

learns the new selection.  This light has been pre-programmed at the 

factory, and it is not necessary to re-program the transmitter, unless 

you experience outside interference. To program transmitter:
1.  

IMPORTANT: 

 Disconnect power.

2.  Remove battery cover from remote control.
 

3.  Set the 7 dip switches to a selection of your choice.  There are 3

     positions on each;  positive, negative and neutral.  Use a small

     screwdriver and select a position for each dip switch.  *Please 

     note that the orientation of the +/- switch positions may vary 

     among different models of wireless remote controls.
4.  Insert both GP 23A 12V batteries.  Be sure batteries have  

     adequate charge.
5.  Replace battery cover.
     a.  Depress the on/off button and hold it down.  Red LED will  

          light.
     b.  While holding the on/off button down, reinstall the power
          (replace fuse or connect vehicle battery).
     c.  Keep on/off button depressed for 5-6 seconds, and 

          then release.  The light should now be programmed. 

OPERATION OF STRYKER™

1.   Using the remote control, turn on the light by depressing the on/

off button.

2.   With the joystick on the dash control, rotate your light to the 

desired location.

3.   The speed of the light rotation can be controlled by depress-

ing the fast/slow button one time and by depressing it again to 

restore the original speed.

4.   The spotlight should not be turned on when the snap on lens 

cover (rockguard) is attached. The hard wired dash control will be 

backlit when the bulb is illuminated.
