BUSHRANGER Night Hawk 7 Inch VLI Series LED Driving Light Owner’s Manual
Overview
The Night Hawk Variable Series LED Driving Lights by Bushranger 4X4 have been developed from the ground up by our team of engineers to offer a truly unique design that takes performance, aesthetics and usability to a whole new level. They lead the way with simple, plug and play installation and an advanced control system that offers greater control and reliability over traditional on/off relay-based lighting systems.
The three variations offered in the Variable Series line-up unlock more options to suit the driver’s individual needs when tackling their next adventure. We have put user controlled lighting at the forefront of our development, and the ability to choose the optimum settings to suit an individual’s visual preference or the environment, plus change on the fly, sets these lights apart from the rest. This is high performance lighting that is adaptable to suit you and your needs.
Control the night.

INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT!
- We recommend the lights/wiring to be fitted by a qualified automotive electrician.
- A forward facing light system may be used only as an auxiliary to high beam. Check compliance and regulations with local authorities.
- Vehicle accessories mounted on the outside of the vehicle may need to comply with regulations governed by your local state authority. Please check before installation.
- When mounting lights, position them appropriately so they do not obstruct existing automotive function. If fitting to front of vehicle, check for bonnet clearances.
- Consideration should be given for airflow requirements of the vehicle and its mechanical components when mounting lights.
- All stainless steel hardware must have anti-seize lubricant applied to the threads before tightening to avoid binding or galling of components.
- Ensure all recyclable parts/packaging are discarded in accordance to local regulations.
Light Mounting Bracket
The mounting bracket is supplied loosely fitted to the light. The stainless
steel M6 x 25mm or M8 x 30mm button head bolts that secure the mounting
bracket to the light must be removed and have anti-seize lubricant applied to
the threads before final installation.
The use of anti-seize greatly reduces the risk of thread galling or binding
commonly seen between stainless steel nuts and bolts during tightening. Anti-
seize must also be applied to all the mounting fasteners used to secure the
light to the vehicle.
Vehicle Mounting & Adjustment
Ensure the mounting location for fitment of the light/s to the vehicle is flat, stable, sufficiently strong and has enough clearance around the light to avoid damage to the vehicle from any movement during installation and use. If drilling is required for mounting, ensure raw edges are coated with corrosion resistant paint or inhibitor.
The light can be adjusted horizontally and vertically. All adjustments are to be made before final tightening of fasteners. Horizontal adjustment is gained by rotating the light body to the desired position and tightening the centre M10 or M12 bolt. Vertical adjustment is gained by tilting the light body up or down and tightening the 4 x side bolts.
The 9” light should always be secured to the vehicle using 1 x M12 center bolt and 2 x M8 side bolts as supplied. Apply anti-seize lubricant to these fasteners when fitting to the vehicle. For initial setup and adjustment, the fasteners should be finger tightened. Once all adjustments have been made, all fasteners should be tightened and torqued to the following specification:
RECOMMENDED TORQUE SETTINGS
M8 Fasteners | 17Nm |
---|---|
M10 Fasteners | 33Nm |
M12 Fasteners | 57Nm |
Wiring Installation
Please refer to the wiring system owners manual, for the full guide on driving light installation.
Care & Maintenance
Cover Installation & Removal
Each single driving light comes with 2 protective covers, 1x clear spot beam cover and 1x fluted flood beam cover. (except for the VBP model which comes with 1x clear spot cover).
To fit a protective cover, align the 5 x clips on the cover with the openings in the front of the light, then push cover firmly until all of the clips ‘click’ into the openings. To remove the cover, pull out on the 2 x lower tabs until the clips release from the light.
Light Care and Maintenance
- The light is not serviceable – DO NOT disassemble.
- Clean lights using pH neutral soapy water and a soft nonabrasive brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly after cleaning.
- DO NOT use solvents, Alkaline based cleaners or abrasive materials to clean the light.
- If lights are exposed to a high salt environment or any other corrosive substance, remove the light and mounting bracket from the vehicle and thoroughly clean and rinse the components as outlined above.
- Remove the clear cover and plastic cover on the rear of the light periodically to clean any dirt and grime build up.
- Regularly check all fasteners to ensure they are secured and properly torqued.
