INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

These instructions are applicable to the HKLS1100 and HKLS700 driving lights only; the HKLS600 require the purchase of a separate harness. To install the HKLS600 you will need to follow the installation instructions provided with that harness.

• Prior to installing the lights on your vehicle, Hardkorr recommends testing the lights and wiring harness outside of the vehicle.
• Disconnect the battery.
• If you do not have pre-drilled holes, sit the lights on the mounting surface, mark where the holes will need to be placed, and then remove the light and drill the holes. There are three mounting holes in each bracket; you can choose to use either one or three bolts per light. Using three bolts may provide additional stability in extreme conditions.
• Mount the bottom plate of the bracket through to the bullbar, roof rack or other surface, with the rubber pad in-between.
• Connect the Deutsch plug from the LED lights to the matching plugs on your wiring harness.
• Remove the high beam plug from the back of your headlight and connect it to the piggyback adaptor – the kit has a H3 and H4 adaptor supplied, however other adaptors are available for purchase separately if your vehicle has a different plug (note that some vehicles require a model-specific puggyback adaptor). You’ll then need to connect the adaptor to the white plug on the harness.
• Next, feed the switch to the inside of the cabin. This should be through a rubber grommet that runs through the firewall. To do this, you’ll need to note the order of the wires on the back of the switch, then remove, reconnecting once in the cabin of your vehicle.
• Secure the relay to the body of the vehicle then connect the positive and negative terminals from the harness to your battery.

PIGGYBACK ADAPTORS
Some newer vehicles require model-specific piggyback adaptors to connect the lights to the high beam circuit. A range of these are available for purchase from us.

CAUTION
If you are not qualified to install the lights yourself, we recommend that you engage a professional auto electrician. Hardkorr will not be responsible for damage caused to the product due to improper installation.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. How do I turn on my lights?
A. Wired correctly, the lights will require the high beams to be turned on before the switch will activate the lights.

Q. How do I adjust the tilt of the driving lights?
A. Loosen the bolts either side of the lights to the point where the lights are tiltable. From there you’ll be able to angle the light to your desired position.

Q. What’s the best way to clean my lights?
A. Keeping the lenses of the light clean will increase the performance of the light. We recommend using a sponge and a bucket of warm soapy water to wash the lights down. Please note, that using a solvent-based cleaner is not recommended and may void the warranty of the light.

Q. My driving lights are working only while on the low beam setting. Why is it doing this?
A. Depending on the make of your vehicle the lights may need to be wired differently. In this case, we recommend contacting the manufacturer, or, alternatively, getting an auto electrician to wire the lights in.

Q. The lights don’t seem to be working correctly. What do I do?
A. There are typically a few reasons why this would be the case:

1. The lights have been incorrectly wired up – we would recommend getting a qualified auto electrician to get this set up for you.
2. Each vehicle is wired differently. For every installation, we recommend contacting the manufacturer to check on the best way to wire the lights in.
3. Check the fuse and relays. For the fuse, if you’re seeing a gap in the wire or a dark smear this’ll mean that it’s blown and needs replacing. To test the relay, we recommend connecting it up to a multimeter.
