Installation & Mounting:
Permanent Mounting:
Mount the light so the wire exit on the base is facing the front of the vehicle. When the light returns to the default position, the lens is
facing the rear.(EW301X)
1. Select a level surface for installation.
2. Drill mounting holes using the base as a template and attach with included hardware.
Carefully remove the unit from its packaging. Examine the unit for transit damage. If damage is found, return the product to your local dealer for
warranty replacement. Do not use damaged or broken parts.
Wiring:
EW300X
The wiring for this configuration is as shown in Figure 1 below. All wiring should be a minimum of 18AWG. The positive line must have a 5 amp fuse
for EW300X and an 8 amp fuse for EW301X, as shown. Routing the ground wire directly back to negative battery terminal is recommended. Pack
dielectric grease, such as Dow Corning 4, around each electric connection exposed to moisture or the ambient environment.

CAUTION!
When drilling into any vehicle surface, make sure that the
area is free from any electrical wires, fuel lines, vehicle
upholstery, etc. that could be damaged.
Notes:
1. Larger wires and tight connections will provide longer service life for components. For high current wires it is highly recommended
that terminal blocks or soldered connections be used with shrink tubing to protect the connections. Do not use insulation displacement
connectors (e.g., 3M Scotchlock type connectors).
2. Route wiring using grommets and sealant when passing through compartment walls. Minimize the number of splices to reduce voltage
drop. All wiring should conform to the minimum wire size and other recommendations of the manufacturer and be protected from moving
parts and hot surfaces. Looms, grommets, cable ties, and similar installation hardware should be used to anchor and protect all wiring.
3. Fuses or circuit breakers should be located as close to the power takeoff points as possible and properly sized to protect the wiring and
devices.
4. Particular attention should be paid to the location and method of making electrical connections and splices to protect these points from
corrosion and loss of conductivity.
5. Ground termination should only be made to substantial chassis components, preferably directly to the vehicle battery.
6. Circuit breakers are very sensitive to high temperatures and will “false trip” when mounted in hot environments or operated close to their
capacity.
IMPORTANT! Disable power before wiring the product.
