Do not install and/or operate this safety product unless you have read and understood the safety information contained in this manual.

1. Proper installation combined with operator training in the use, care, and maintenance of emergency warning devices are essential to ensure the safety of emergency personnel and the public.
2. Emergency warning devices often require high electrical voltages and/or currents. Exercise caution when working with live electrical connections.
3. This product must be properly grounded. Inadequate grounding and/or shorting of electrical connections can cause high current arcing, which can cause personal injury and/or severe vehicle damage, including fire.
4. Proper placement and installation is vital to the performance of this warning device. Install this product so that output performance of the system is maximized and the controls are placed within convenient reach of the operator so that they can operate the system without losing eye contact with the roadway.
5. Do not install this product or route any wires in the deployment area of an air bag. Equipment mounted or located in an air bag deployment area may reduce the effectiveness of the air bag or become a projectile that could cause serious personal injury or death. Refer to the vehicle owner’s manual for the air bag deployment area. It is the responsibility of the user/operator to determine a suitable mounting location ensuring the safety of all passengers inside the vehicle particularly avoiding areas of potential head impact.
6. It is the responsibility of the vehicle operator to ensure daily that all features of this product work correctly. In use, the vehicle operator should ensure the projection of the warning signal is not blocked by vehicle components (i.e., open trunks or compartment doors), people, vehicles or other obstructions.
7. The use of this or any other warning device does not ensure all drivers can or will observe or react to an emergency warning signal. Never take the right-of-way for granted. It is the vehicle operator’s responsibility to be sure they can proceed safely before entering an intersection, drive against traffic, respond at a high rate of speed, or walk on or around traffic lanes.
8. This equipment is intended for use by authorized personnel only. The user is responsible for understanding and obeying all laws regarding emergency warning devices. Therefore, the user should check all applicable city, state, and federal laws and regulations. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any loss resulting from the use of this warning device.

Installation and Mounting

2. Using the bracket as a template, mark the hole location on the mirror.
3. Consult the factory service manual to remove the side mirrors from the vehicle.
4. Drill two 7/64″ diameter holes through the plastic mirror housing at the hole locations previously marked. Drill one 9/32″ diameter hole in the mirror housing for cable entry.
5. Position the light head up against the mounting bracket and thread two 3.5mm screws and two #6 lock washers through the mounting holes in the back side of the mounting bracket and into the threaded holes of the light as shown in Figure #2. Tighten the screws until the lock washers are fully flat against the bracket. Ensure that the puddle light is in the proper orientation.
6. Route wiring through side mirror into the vehicle. Add wire length if necessary.
