This unit is designed to be used with the typical 2" receiver
type trailer hitches under the bumper. This unit bolts to the hitch
receiver tube with a u-bolt and is open thru the center of the light
unit to allow the use of a 2" hitch insert for towing. The White
Night emblem in the center of the unit may be removed to allow the
hitch insert to be inserted into the hitch receiver tube. When not
using a hitch insert the emblem can be snapped into place to cover
the opening. This unit requires 3/4" of clearance between
the top of the hitch receiver tube and the bottom of the bumper
for installation.
There are some hitch inserts that are too short and will not reach
the hitch pin hole once the White Night unit is installed. The bottom
photo shows a typical 2" insert and the length required for
installation. Some of the "factory installed" hitches will
require the use of an installation kit to relocate the trailer wiring
plug. These kits move the wiring plug to the side of the light unit.
This unit allows you to take advantage of the exceptional lighting
when towing.
NOTE: All light units have a 3 position toggle switch on the back
which allows for 3 modes of operation. In one position the light
unit is automatically activated when the vehicle is placed in reverse.
Center position is off. The 3rd position allows manual operation. |
