UTV LED Chase Light Installation Guide for 1.75-2 Inch Roll Bars

Rear visibility matters when a UTV is running in dust, low light, or a group ride. A rear chase light gives the vehicle a more noticeable light point at the back and can connect with key taillight functions when wired correctly. This guide is based on the attached Can-Am / Polaris 1.75-2-Inch Roll-Cage LED Chase Light Installation Manual and walks through the bracket setup, roll-cage mounting, and wiring steps for the Manrock UTV LED Chase Light.

Before Installation

Park the UTV on level ground and turn the power off before working near the rear wiring. Check the rear roll cage first. This chase light fits 1.75-2 inch roll bars, so confirm the tube size before installing the clamp.

Lay the parts on a clean surface and confirm the package contents:

• LED Chase Light x 1
• Roll-Cage Clamp x 1
• Mounting Bracket A x 1
• Mounting Bracket B x 1
• Hardware Pack x 1

Choose the mounting bracket that fits your vehicle before attaching it to the light. Keep the wire color functions nearby while you work:

• Red: running light
• Black: ground / negative
• White: brake light
• Yellow and green: turn signals
• Blue: reverse light

Installation Steps

Step 1: Attach the Correct Mounting Bracket

Choose the mounting bracket that fits your vehicle, then attach it to the back of the chase light.

Make sure the bracket sits flat against the light housing before tightening the hardware. A straight bracket helps the light sit square once it is mounted on the rear roll cage.

Step 2: Secure the Clamp to the Rear Roll Cage

Use the long bolts from the hardware pack to secure the clamp to the rear roll cage.

Set the clamp where the chase light can face the rear clearly and where the wiring harness can route cleanly toward the factory tail light wiring. Keep the clamp aligned with the roll bar before tightening it down.

Step 3: Position the Chase Light on the Long Bolts

Place the chase light onto the long bolts extending from the bottom of the clamp.

Support the light by hand while positioning it. Check that the light faces rearward and sits level before installing the nuts.

Step 4: Install the Nuts and Tighten the Chase Light

Install the nuts from the hardware pack onto the long bolts and tighten the chase light securely.

Tighten both sides evenly so the light does not tilt. After tightening, gently check the light by hand to make sure it does not shift on the bracket.

Step 5: Route the Wiring Harness

Route the chase light wiring harness along the roll cage toward the factory tail light wiring.

Keep the harness away from sharp edges, hot areas, suspension movement, and pinch points. Leave enough slack for normal vibration, but do not leave loose wire hanging where it can snag.

Step 6: Open the Factory Tail Light Harness Covering

Carefully open the heat-shrink tubing around the factory tail light wiring harness.

Work slowly so the factory wires are exposed without being cut or damaged. Once the wires are accessible, identify the connection points before making any wire connection.

Step 7: Connect the Chase Light Wires

Connect the chase light wiring to the factory tail light wires:

• Black chase light wire to factory black wire
• Red chase light wire to factory purple/white wire
• White chase light wire to factory brown/white wire

If the UTV does not have turn signals, cap and insulate the yellow and green wires separately. Do not twist unused signal wires together, and do not leave bare wire exposed.

After the wiring is connected, test the light functions before closing up the harness area.

Final Installation Check

Before riding, check the setup one more time:

• The clamp is tight on the rear roll cage.
• The chase light faces rearward and sits level.
• The nuts on the long bolts are tightened evenly.
• The wiring harness is routed away from heat, sharp edges, and moving parts.
• The connected light functions work during testing.

If the light moves, the harness rubs, or a function does not respond, correct the issue before driving.

Installation Tips

Pick the bracket before mounting the light. The package includes two bracket options, and using the right one helps the light sit in a cleaner rear-facing position.

Plan the wire route before making connections. A clean path along the roll cage is easier to secure and less likely to interfere with suspension movement or rear body panels.

Insulate unused wires one at a time. If the yellow and green turn signal wires are not used, cap them separately so they cannot touch each other or the frame.

Conclusion

The Manrock UTV LED Chase Light installs with a roll-cage clamp, a vehicle-matched mounting bracket, and tail light wiring connections. Attach the correct bracket, secure the clamp to the rear roll cage, mount the chase light on the long bolts, route the harness, and connect the required wires.

Before riding, test the light functions and check that the bracket, clamp, and wiring are secure.

FAQ

Q1: Which bracket should I use?
A1: Use the bracket that fits your vehicle and places the chase light in a stable rear-facing position. Test-fit the bracket on the back of the light before tightening it.

Q2: What wire colors do I need for the basic tail light connection?
A2: Use black to factory black for ground, red to factory purple/white for running light, and white to factory brown/white for brake light. Cap and insulate unused wires separately.

Q3: What should I do with the yellow and green wires if my UTV does not have turn signals?
A3: Cap and insulate the yellow and green wires separately. Do not twist them together or leave bare wire exposed.
