WIRING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT
Always disconnect the vehicle batter terminals before servicing the electrical system
Fuse Switch
Relay
Battery Eyelets
Deutsch Connector
1. When routing wire harness through any metal surface be sure it is free of any sharp edges and
protected using wire sheathing or a grommet.
2. Route the harness through vehicle, connect the SAE lamps by directly plugging into the Deutsch
connector’s that are pre-terminated onto the harness.
3. Route the switch lead of the harness to the desired switch location and follow the wiring diagram to
ensure proper connections at the switch.
4. Connect the positive and negative battery terminals once all connections have been made with
the RED harness lead connected to the positive battery terminal and the BLACK wire to the negative
battery terminal.
5. Test to verify functionality, be sure to properly aim your new SAE lighting before final torque on all
mounting hardware.
6. If connecting to an existing switch be aware of the current rating of your selected switch, if switch
rating is less than the amperage required to power your lighting then a relay must be added in line to
prevent failure of the switch.
7. If connecting to existing wiring, make sure to use appropriate fusing and wire gauge. Be sure to use
heat shrink tubing on all connections to ensure a weather tight seal.
