ROUTING WIRING
For new vehicle installations, route the wire through the roof light bar hole, down the A-pillar closest to
the vehicle battery and through the firewall. Always use rubber grommets in holes to avoid a short
circuit. For retrofit vehicle installations, consider lifting the weatherstripping from the rear door opening
to route the wire to the inside of the vehicle and through the firewall. Since every vehicle type is
different, your installation may vary.

BATTERY CONNECTION

IMPORTANT: Before making electrical connections in a vehicle, keep in mind that a shorted auto
battery can easily start a fire. Make all connections with insulated lugs or other connectors intended for
such use. Install the provided fuse holder and fuse as close to the battery as possible. If replacing the
fuse, replace with the same 5x20, 5A fast blow fuse.
Once wire is routed through the vehicle and the wire extends into the engine compartment, verify the
positive and negative leads by connecting a DMM to verify correct polarity. Clearly mark the positive
lead from the SolarStream ™ . Cover the panel surface before making the battery connections to avoid
any chance of a spark. Connect the positive lead from the SolarStream ™ to the fuse holder and then to
the positive battery terminal. Connect the negative lead from the SolarStream ™ to the negative battery
terminal. Dress excess wire inside engine compartment.
Streamlight recommends connecting the SolarStream ™ directly to the battery terminals for best
performance. If the battery has been having issues holding charge, we recommend replacing the
vehicle battery at the time of installation. The SolarStream ™ will provide a maximum of approximately
.9 amperes in full sunlight conditions to help maintain the battery charge state when the vehicle is not
running.
