3. Measure a line perpendicular to the centerline of the vehicle from the middle of the top edge
of this square, to a distance of 6" directly towards the centerline of the vehicle. Mark this
point. Using a 1/8" (0.125") drill bit, drill a pilot hole up through the roof at this location.
4. Using this hole as a
center point, cut a 1"
hole down through the
roof. De-burr this hole
and install a grommet.
This is to be used as
the
passenger-side
cable passage hole.
5. Use steps 2 through 4
as a guide to creating
a similar hole for the
driver-side
cable
passage hole.
Cable preparation and routing...
Before the lighthead cables can be routed through the vehicle, they must first be prepared.
Tag the 6 cables to be used for the strobe lightheads (3-conductor) with the tags
S1, S4, S5, S6,
S7, S8
, and the 4 cables to be used for the halogen lightheads (2-conductor) with tags
H2, H3,
H5
and
H8
. This will insure that the lightheads are connected to their proper power supply port. A
lighthead’s identity is determined by what power supply port they are to be connected to.
Note: Before the cables are routed, the installer may wish to apply a light coating of
silicone spray to the cable’s outer jacket. This allows the cables to be routed more easily.
The following section
demonstrates how these
cables should be routed.
Locate the three, 3-conduc-
tor strobe cables tagged S1
S5 & S6, and the two, 2-
conductor cables tagged H2
& H5. These cables (like all
of the cables) have one end
with pinned terminals on the
wires and one end with
socket terminals on the
wires. Orient these cables
so that all the pinned-ends
of the cables are together and all the socketed-ends of the cables are together. Bundle the sock-
eted-end of these cables securely together with electrical tape. Now locate the cable entry open-
ing in the “C” pillar shown above.
Be sure to
de-burr the hole
using a round
(shown) or
similar file before
installing the
grommet.
