GENERAL GUIDELINES

LED Lights & LED Light Bars operate at relatively high currents and should only be installed by qualifi ed personnel with experience in

switched / relayed high draw DC Circuits. 

-          Light Bars are designed for use only with standard 12v DC power systems

-          Light Bars are for OFF-ROAD USE ONLY.  Check your local laws & regulations regarding vehicle mounted lights.

-          Some Light Bars are equipped with waterproof connectors while others are simply pig-tailed

-          Red Wires = POSITIVE  |  Black Wires = NEGATIVE

-          ALWAYS install your lights on a fused circuit. Basic fusing guidelines:  maximum 5A for every 10” of LED Light Bar.

GENERAL USE, INSTALL AND ADJUSTMENT TIPS

NOTE 1:  T-REX Torch Series Grilles (with LED Light Bars installed), and LED Light Bars themselves are for OFF-ROAD USE ONLY.

NOTE 2:  Light Bars in Torch Series Grilles are installed fl ush with the grille from the factory.  This may or may not be the ideal angle for each light 

depending on the confi guration of your vehicle and its options and/or modifi cations.  To adjust the angle of your light bars simply loosen the 

mounting hardware on either side of each Light Bar, rotate the Light Bar to adjust the angle, then tighten the hardware once the desired angle is 

achieved (please be careful not to over-tighten the mounting hardware or scratch the protective powder-coat fi nish).  It is best to adjust the angle 

with the vehicle on level ground with the lights facing a wall, garage door or other solid barrier at a distance of approximately 25-30 feet. 

NOTE 3:  Please consult a qualifi ed automotive electrical professional for light bar wiring installation.

NOTE 4:  An optional universal wiring harness (part# 639HAR1) is also available that includes high-heat & oil/fuel resistant wires, waterproof 

connector, 12v relay, 12v rocker switch, inline fuse holder. Our universal wiring harness signifi cantly expedites the installation process but is not a 

vehicles specifi c “Plug & Play“ product and does not eliminate the need for a professional installation.

GRILLE CARE INFORMATION

T-REX grilles are fi nest in the industry but do require normal care.  Wash regularly as you would when caring for your vehicles. Never use dish soap.

POLISHED FINISH

T-REX polished grilles should be waxed at the same time that you wax the vehicle and can be cleaned with soap and water. A polished fi nish can 

be cared for in the same fashion that would care for your vehicles factory chrome. Never leave wet water spots as that may leave a blemish.

GLOSS BLACK FINISH

T-REX Grilles with Gloss Black Powder Coated Finish may be washed regularly as you would when caring for your vehicles fi nish using soap 

and water. T-REX grilles should be waxed at the same time that you wax the vehicle. As a general rule, anything you use to clean your vehicles 

painted surfaces can be used to clean and maintain your T-REX grille. A Gloss powder Coated Finish can be cared for in the same fashion that 

you would care for your vehicles factory paint job. Never leave wet water spots as that may leave a blemish.

MATTE BLACK FINISH

Paint warranty applies to defects in material and / or workmanship, it does not cover the matte fi nish surface appearance.
To enjoy the matte appearance for many years to come, please follow these owner care and maintenance tips.

Get a no-shine matte car wash soap that uses no fi llers, no silicone, and won’t strip your matte paint of its layer of protection.

Do not use wax, detail spray, armorall®, or any products made for normal paint. Use only products specifi cally developed for matte

fi nish paint. Do not use products that are even mildly abrasive, such as polishes, glazes, or rubbing compounds. Do not use mechanical 

cleaners or polishers. Do not use terrycloth, cloth, or paper towels. Do not rub the fi nish vigorously, this will burnish the paint fi nish,

causing a permanent shiny spot. Shiny spots cannot be removed.

Do not use commercial car wash facilities or their shine enhancement products. Most car wash brushes, large mechanized “towels,” 

and shine enhancement products can damage matte paint.

Remove foreign substances such as insect remains, tar, and road debris using a soft applicator and a mild solvent; saturate and soak

area before cleaning—rub lightly.

Hand-wash with a soft wash mitt and mild cleaning product safe for matte paint. Use microfi ber cleaning cloths with alcohol-based window 

cleaner for basic surface clean-up.
