Installation Instructions For 80800/80888 Plow Lights
The following instructions are for the
majority of full size Chevrolet, Ford and Dodge Pick-Up trucks.
1. Mount the lights (1 & 2) to the light brackets
using supplied hardware. NOTE: After installation is complete, they
must be aimed so as to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
108.
2. Route the wire harness (3) from the switch bracket
on the dashboard to the front of the truck, ending in a convenient location
for plugging in the lights (1 & 2). This is generally behind the
grille and in front of the radiator. If the vehicle has no holes in
the radiator support structure, the harness legs can be routed down
each side of the radiator and then brought back up behind the grille.
If necessary drill a hole in the firewall for harness (3) and protect
it with a grommet.
Caution: It is important that the harness, all wires from the light
switch and all other electrical wires, be routed around hot or moving
engine parts and any sharp sheet metal. Protection must be provided
to guard against wire damage at these points. All excess or loose wires
must be neatly secured using wire ties.
3. Instal light switch (4). Plug in wires from wire
harnesses shown.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Some vehicles have two high beam and two low beam wires. Cut all four wires and twist the high beam wires together and low beam wires together. Treat each pair of twisted wires as though it were a single wire when making the connections as shown.
5. Attach eyelets of the two white wires to a good, clean chassis ground.
6. Locate the vehicle’s marker light wires and right & left turn signal wires. Using tap connectors, connect these wires as shown. (No special test light procedure is needed for markers and turn signals).
7. Verify that installation is correct by switching from high beam to low beam on both vehicle and snow plow lights. At any one time, only the snow plow or vehicle lights should be on, never both sets at once. Tape all connections or use dielectric compound, like Truck-Lite NYK-77 (Part #97944), to prevent corrosion.
