By using the Connection bracket (Item ⑨ ) 2 main lamp units (Item ① ) can be connected. When installing and using the main lamp unit, follow the ■ Lamp connection procedures indicated below. If not installing the main lamp unit using this procedure continue on to page 5, [1] Installation preparations and follow the instructions indicated there. In addition, if not connecting the lamps, the Connection brackets (Item ⑨ ) and the Hexagon socket head bolt (M4/Item ⑩ ) will not be used. Therefore, please store them properly for safekeeping.


■ Lamp connection procedures

Install the Connection bracket (Item ⑨ ) to the nut on the lamp main unit as shown in the figure. Use the Hexagon socket head bolt (M4/Item ⑩ ) to secure it firmly in place.


● Use the recommended torque and apply equal force when tightening the Hexagon socket head bolt (M4/Item ⑩ ).

● Do not install more than 3 lamp main units


● When connecting lamp units“ RF6” and“ RF10”, we recommend that 2 Installation brackets (Item ②) be used on each lamp unit.

If there is a problem with the installation position and only one Installation bracket can be installed on each lamp, install it on the outer hole from center.


● When installing and using the“ RF18” unit, make sure to install 2 Installation brackets (Item ②) at 2 positions on each lamp.




?2?Lamp installation

For lamp installation, a hole with a diameter of 10mm is required. Make necessary preparation such as installation of lamp bracket.


CAUTION

● When using a commercially supplied lamp bracket, before removing the bolt that is already installed on the car body, make sure that it is safe to do so.

● The lamp should be mounted in an area sufficient to support its size and weight. Failure to do so may result in excess vibration leading to shorter bulb life and or physical damage to the lamp or your vehicle.

● Do not attempt to install the lamp directly to any plastic part of the car body. If the lamp needs to be installed on the plastic reinforcement materials should be placed on both sides of the plastic part.

● When installing, make sure the lamp body, lens and rim are not touching the bumper and other plastic parts. Such plastic parts might deform.

● The lamp installation surface should be flat.

● The lamp should be tightened to the degree that the lamp body cannot be moved by hand.

● The lamps are designed to be mounted upright. It is very important that you make sure that the“ PIAA” etched in the lens reads right side up.
