Exclusively by HighTechSpeed, LLC
Congratulations on purchasing the most advanced tail light available on the
market. HighTechSpeed was the original inventor of integrated LED tail
lights in 2000. We have been making them longer than anyone, and have
been the consistent pioneer of the latest technologies, highest brightness
and most features. Radix Lights are made in the USA!
HighTechSpeed Radix lights feature:
50Mhz integrated “System on Chip” microprocessor controller
Full protection against reverse connection, over voltage, over current
Full Bright technology continuously adjusts LED current ensuring maximum
brightness under all ambient and internal temperature conditions.
User selectable effects for brake lights, turn signals and running lights
The latest high-intensity power LED’s from Cree and Philips/Lumileds
Full surface mount technology construction for long life and high reliability
Over 3,000 available lumens of light output
User selectable brightness levels
With proper use, your Radix Light will provide years of trouble free use.
Please read the quick start guide on the following page before installing your
Radix Light. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us for
assistance.
QUICK START GUIDE
Step 1:
Disconnect the negative battery terminal whenever working on any vehicle and
ensure the vehicle is level and stable
Step 2:
Under the rear fender you will find 4 nuts, remove these and the tail light
assembly will come loose. Disconnect the plug and remove the assembly.
Step 3:
Install the Radix Light into the assembly. You will have the OEM connector, plus
three extra wires. The green and brown wires are your left and right blinker wires
and will connect to the positive (switched) side of your existing turn signals. The
gray wire is the programming wire. This wire will be connected to +12 Volts when
programming the light. See programming section on following page.
Step 4:
Connect the Radix Light connector to the factory brake light connector. Then
connect the green wire to your left turn signal positive wire, and connect the
brown wire to the right turn signal positive wire.
Step 5:
If you wish you reprogram the light occasionally, ensure the gray wire is accessible
(it can be coiled and taped to the back of the light, or run along beside the OEM
wiring to a switch). Alternatively, check out our SPS – simple programming switch
accessory.
Step 6:
Re-install the tail light into position and tighten the nuts. That’s it – you’re done!
PROGRAMMING GUIDE
The Radix Light comes pre-programmed at a medium intensity level and with the
“stock” pattern which mimics the factory light function. The running light, brake
light, and turn signal patterns and effects are all user-adjustable, as is the
intensity of the light.
To change the patterns for brake and turn signal
Turn on the power with the PROGRAM wire off (no voltage). After the power is
on, apply power (+12V) to the program wire. With power on the program wire,
each time you apply the brake, it will change to the next pattern and will show it
to you on the light. When you reach the last pattern, the Radix Light will return to
the first pattern.
Each time you apply the turn signal, it will change to the next pattern and will
show it on the light. When you reach the last pattern, the Radix Light will return
to the first pattern. When you find the pattern you like, simply remove power
from the program wire – that’s it. Your light will save this pattern permanently
until you change it again.
To change the running light pattern
Turn on power with the PROGRAM wire off (no voltage). After the tail light turns
on, apply power to the PROGRAM wire, then remove power (turn it on, then off).
When you remove power, the running light will change to the next pattern.
When you reach the last pattern, it will cycle through to the first one again.
PROGRAMMING GUIDE (cont.)
To adjust the brightness
Warning: The Radix Light comes from the factory pre-set at a “brighter than stock,
but reasonable” brightness level. We recommend leaving the light at this level.
However, for customers who wish to change the brightness level, it is adjustable.
You must be very careful and ensure compliance with all laws when adjusting your
Radix Light settings, especially the brightness levels.
Turn on power to the light with power (+12V) on the program wire. When the
light starts, it will detect the PROGRAM wire was turned on at startup and will
enter brightness adjust mode – leave the PROGRAM wire connected to +12V
while you make adjustments. Hold down the brake, and then use the left and
right signals to adjust brightness. Each activation of the right signal increases
brightness by 5%. Each activation of the left signal decreases brightness by 5%.
The light will only allow brightness programming for 10 seconds after start-up.
This is a safety feature – in case you forget to disconnect power from the
PROGRAM wire, your light will not be changing intensity as you ride. If you do not
achieve the level you want within 10 seconds, simply turn off power completely
(turn off your ignition), then repeat the process and pick up where you left off.
WARNING!
The Radix Light at full brightness is EXTREMELY BRIGHT. The light is capable of
over 3,000 lumens of light. This is more than 25 times the brightness of the stock
light. YOU SHOULD NOT RUN THE RADIX LIGHT AT FULL INTENSITY, unless you are
operating the vehicle off road, or running a demonstration, or are in emergency
services and are allowed intense lights on your vehicle.
It is a common misconception that “more brightness = more safety”. That is not
true if you are blinding drivers behind you. Please be reasonable if you adjust the
brightness settings and ensure compliance with all laws that apply to you.
