Function Description:
The BZR-X Series Driving Lights are auxiliary lighting systems intended to supplement a vehicle's high beam headlights, providing significantly increased illumination for improved visibility during night driving, especially in off-road or poorly lit environments. They are designed to be activated in conjunction with the vehicle's high beams, ensuring proper and safe operation. The lights feature a combination beam pattern, offering both long-distance spot illumination and wider flood coverage to enhance overall visibility.

Usage Features:
Installation:
- Pre-installation Testing: Hardkorr recommends testing the lights and wiring harness outside the vehicle before full installation.
- Battery Disconnection: Always disconnect the battery before beginning installation.
- Mounting: The lights can be mounted using one or three bolts per light, with three bolts providing additional stability in extreme conditions. A rubber pad is used between the mounting surface (bullbar, roof rack, etc.) and the bracket's bottom plate.
- Wiring Harness: The kit includes a comprehensive wiring harness.
- Light Connection: 3-pin Deutsch (triangular plug) cables connect the LED lights to the harness.
- Power Connection: The harness connects to the vehicle's battery (positive and negative terminals) and includes a 12V or 24V relay.
- Accessory Fuse Adaptor: A twin fuse adaptor (with blade and micro blade supplied) connects to the vehicle's accessories fuse slot, integrating the lights into the vehicle's electrical system.
- High Beam Integration: A piggyback adaptor (H3 and H4 adaptors supplied, others available separately) connects to the vehicle's high beam plug, ensuring the driving lights activate with the high beams. Some vehicles may require model-specific piggyback adaptors or hardwiring.
- Switch Installation: The switch is fed into the vehicle cabin, typically through a rubber grommet in the firewall.
- Third Light Option: For wiring a third light, an included piggyback adaptor (with single light kits) connects from one of the triangular plug connectors on the main harness.
- Professional Installation Recommended: Hardkorr strongly recommends that installation be performed by an appropriately qualified professional or licensed auto electrician, especially if the user is not qualified.
Operation:
- Activation: Once correctly wired, the driving lights require the vehicle's high beams to be turned on before the switch will activate the driving lights.
- Tilt Adjustment: The tilt of the lights can be adjusted by loosening the bolts on either side, allowing the user to angle the light to their desired position.
Safety Warnings:
- Do not disassemble the lights.
- Do not look directly into the lights.
- Do not connect to 240V/110V power supplies or power sources greater than 30V.
- Do not run more than three lights off one harness.
- Installation by a licensed auto electrician is recommended.
- Check with the vehicle manufacturer for specific piggyback adaptor requirements.
- Refer to state/territory laws and regulations regarding light use and installation.
- Ensure lights are mounted tightly and securely.
- Improper wiring can affect performance and reliability.
- Consider airflow to the radiator when installing.
- Do not install lights where they interfere with the driver's line of vision.
- The user is solely responsible for installation, positioning, and use.
Maintenance Features:
Cleaning:
- Recommended Method: Use a sponge and a bucket of warm soapy water to clean the lenses. Keeping the lenses clean is crucial for maintaining light performance.
- Avoid: Do not use a pressure washer or solvent-based cleaners, as these may void the warranty.
Troubleshooting (Frequently Asked Questions):
- Lights working only on low beam: This may indicate incorrect wiring specific to the vehicle's make. Contact the manufacturer or an auto electrician.
