How to Install the BRTLED Apollo X STL12125-WL LED Driving Light

This guide explains how to properly install your BRTLED Apollo X STL12125-WL LED Driving Light, including wiring the driving beam, park lights, DRL, and strobe modes, and configuring synchronous/asynchronous flashing.

Preparation

  • Ensure the vehicle is turned off and the battery is disconnected.
  • Mount the light securely to a suitable location using the provided bracket.
  • Route your cables carefully, avoiding sharp edges and high-heat areas.

Wiring Guide

Wire Colour Function
Black Ground / Negative (-)
Red Driving Beam (Positive +)
Yellow Daytime Running Light (DRL)
White Amber Park Light
Green Strobe Flash Mode (Switch-controlled)
Blue Sync Line (For synchronising multiple lights)

Wiring Steps

  1. Connect Black wire to a solid chassis ground.
  2. Connect Red wire to your high-beam circuit or auxiliary light switch.
  3. Connect Yellow wire to an ignition live or DRL circuit if DRL is desired.
  4. Connect White wire to your park light circuit if required.
  5. Connect Green wire to a user-controlled switch for activating strobe mode.
  6. Connect Blue wire according to the Sync Mode instructions below.

Switching Warning Light Mode (Synchronous / Asynchronous Flashing)

Synchronising Multiple Lights:

  • Connect the Blue Sync Line from two or more lights together.
  • Connect the Blue wire to +12V / +24V for 3 seconds to reset the flash frequency.
  • Once reset, applying power to the Blue wire will cycle through the light’s five selectable strobe modes.

Synchronous vs Asynchronous Flashing (for 2 Lights Only):

  • For two lights:
    • Connect both Blue Sync Lines together.
    • Apply +12V / +24V to the Blue wire for 3 seconds to reset.
    • Tap the Blue wire to +12V for 1 second to toggle asynchronous flashing (alternating flashes between the two lights).
    • Tap the Blue wire again to return to synchronous flashing (both lights flash together).

Important: Asynchronous flashing is supported only when using exactly two lights. When three or more lights are connected, only synchronous flashing is supported.

Testing

  1. Reconnect your vehicle battery.
  2. Turn on each function and test:
    • Driving Beam
    • DRL
    • Park Light
    • Strobe Mode
    • Sync/Async flashing if using multiple lights

Final Checks

  • Ensure all wiring is secure and connections are weather-sealed.
  • Check that cables are routed safely away from moving parts and heat sources.
  • Double-check mounting bolts are secure.

Disclaimer: Installation should be performed by a qualified professional if you are unsure of the wiring requirements. Always consult your vehicle’s manual before connecting electrical accessories. Improper installation may void warranty.
