Wiring Instructions
- Bvisa Bhatiri: Before starting any wiring, disconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shorts.

- Connect Ground: Connect the negative (-) wire from the light bar to a clean, unpainted metal surface on the vehicle chassis to establish a good ground connection.
- Install Switch (Optional but Recommended): If using a switch, wire it into the positive line, typically between the relay and the light bar, or directly to the light bar if it's a low-power application and the switch is rated for the current.
- Edzai Mabatanidza: Once all connections are made and insulated, reconnect the vehicle's battery. Test the light bar to ensure it functions correctly. If it does not illuminate, recheck all connections and fuses.

Once properly installed and wired, the Pilot Automotive PLV-1014 LED Light Bar operates by activating the connected switch. Ensure your vehicle's ignition is on if the light bar is wired to an ignition-switched circuit. Turn the switch to the "ON" position to illuminate the light bar and to the "OFF" position to turn it off.
