HID lamps emit ultraviolet, visible, and infrared radiation. HID bulbs operate at very high  
temperatures and pressures. Possible skin or eye irritation can result from exposures  
exceeding 15 minutes. Do not stare at exposed lamp in operation. During operation, the  
bulb should be enclosed in a housing to prevent injury. Do not remove bulb from equip-  
ment until it has cooled completely. Never handle the bulb when it is operating or until it  
has cooled!

About High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lamps  
High Intensity Discharge (HID) lamps use a gas capsule rather than a filament inside the bulb. Light  
is created by an electrical arc between two electrodes sealed in the bulb. A ballast is required to  
provide the proper voltage and maintain current control. HID bulbs create more light than a com-  
parable halogen lamp, and the light is closer in color to natural daylight than halogen light.  
In HID lamps, the light is produced by creating an electrical arc in a metal vapor. Free electrons  
colliding with an atom in the vapor momentarily knock an electron into a higher orbit of the atom.  
When the displaced electron falls back to its former level, a quantum of radiation is emitted. The  
wavelength of light produced depends on the shell level of the disturbed electron and on the ele-  
ment and ionization of the metal vapor used in the arc tube.  
Although producing only 5% of its output when first ignited, after a few seconds the HID lamp will  
come up to full output. Also, if power to the lamp is lost or turned off, the arc tube must cool before  
the arc can be restruck and light produced.  
HID lighting has several advantages over conventional halogen lights:  
More light output. An HID light source produces light at approximately three to five times  
halogen’s efficiency. Efficiency is measured in lumens per watt, a measure of the amount of  
light produced for a given amount of electrical consumption. An HID lamp’s lumens per watt  
(LPW) efficiency is roughly six to eight times that of an incandescent lamp.  
Brighter light. The color of HID lighting is closer to natural daylight than halogen or incan-  
descent light, which appear yellowish in comparison. Florescent light appears more green  
than natural daylight. Light color is described in degrees Kelvin. Typical color temperatures  
are 2800K (incandescent), 3000K (halogen), 4100K (cool white or SP41 fluorescent), and  
5000K (daylight-simulating fluorescent colors). HID lights produce a light with a color tem-  
perature at or above 5000K. Higher temperature lights appear brighter and bluer than lower  
temperature lights.  
Longer Service Life. An HID lamp will last, on the average, 3 to 5 times as long as a halogen  
bulb. In normal use, your HID bulb should last more than one thousand ignitions.  
unpacking  
When unpacking, check to make sure that the item is intact and undamaged. If any parts are  
missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at: 1-800-444-3353  
Package should include: (1) 9” HID Off-Road Light, (1) Wiring Harness, (1) manual.  
Bulb Replacement  
To replace the bulb, remove the two screws (one on each  
Screw  
side), that hold the lens cover on. See illustration to the  
left. Next remove the old bulb and replace it. Replace the  
Lens Cover using the same screws.  
WARNING: Never touch the bulb with your bare hands.  
Oil from your fingers will damage bulb.

Installation  
Warning: Before Installation, disconnect negative battery cable then disconnect the posi-  
tive battery cable, in that order.  
Warning: Whenever drilling, be sure that the drill will not damage any wires, tubes or com-  
ponents on either side of the member being drilled. plan for your installation so units will  
be located conveniently and wires will be routed out of the way of any other components.  
plan to fill all drilled holes with sealant to prevent water intrusion or rust.  
1.  
Lamp Installation: Fasten the Off Road Light to your vehicle. Adjust angle of lamp as  
desired. Connect the ground wire from the light to a clean grounded piece of metal on the  
vehicle frame.  
2.  
Install switch (not included) in passenger compartment. Connect the blue wire (with  
inline 5A fuse holder) to the switch and to the positive battery terminal. Attach one appro-  
priately-sized red wire to the switch. Carefully route two more wires from the other positive  
terminal on the switch to the lights. See the diagram below.  
WARNING: Do not damage any cables, hoses or components when installing any com-  
ponent of this kit. Take care not to route wires where they may get tangled, pinched, cut,  
burned or otherwise damaged by the operation of the engine or movement of the car.  
1.  
Connect positive wires from the light switches to the lights.  
cAuTION: Do not reverse polarity, as that will damage unit.

care and Troubleshooting of your HID Lights  
cAuTION: The lens of the lamps must be kept clean. The lamps should be handled with care,  
giving special attention to bulb.  
WARNING: NEVER TOUCH THE BULB WITH YOUR BARE HANDS! The oil from your fingers  
will cause the bulb to explode!  
1.  
2.  
Maintain proper electrical wiring polarity to prevent damage to the lamp.  
Protect the quartz arc tube when handling the lamp. Keep the arc lamp clean. Do not touch  
the quartz tube or the inside surface of the reflector. If tube or reflector are dirty, clean with  
rubbing alcohol. Allow to dry completely before lighting.  
3.  
4.  
5.  
The bulb and ballast are sensitive to external operating temperature. Do not expose to  
extremely high or low ambient temperature.  
Periodically clean the lamp by wiping with a lint free towel or swab immersed in denatured  
alcohol. Allow to dry completely before lighting.  
While HID bulbs last considerably longer than halogen bulbs, several characteristics indicate  
that a bulb is approaching the end of its life-span. Initial symptoms of end-of-life include  
low light output and/or intermittent starting. Visual signs include blackening at the ends of  
the arc tube and electrode tip deterioration. Note that HID bulbs contain metals, including  
mercury, that can be harmful to the environment. Please dispose of any HID bulb in ac-  
cordance with local, state, and federal regulations.  
6.  
7.  
All lamps have a limited lifespan. However, if you are experiencing problems with your HID  
light inspect the following:  
Bulbs:  
Inspect for broken arc tube or outer lamp jacket  
Check connection where lamp broken where glass meets the base  
Make a visual inspection of the bulb for broken or loose components in lamp envelope  
Inspect for arc tube end blackening  
Inspect for deposits inside the outer glass envelope  
9.  
Ballast and capacitor points-of-failure:  
Attempt ignition a second time after properly resetting the ballast by disconnecting,  
waiting 15 seconds, and then reconnecting the connectors attached to the lid.  
Are you using identical replacement lamps?Your ballast will not work with incorrect watt-  
age lamps.  
Avoid possible overheat due to ambient temperature  
Inspect for miswiring/pinched wires  
Inspect ballast housing and wiring for mechanical damage  
The Bulb is the only replacement part offered. Call 1-800-444-3353 to order the bulb.
