Grenadier Owner
I ordered the Vision-X Grenadier Kit from a Deutschland e-store, the single LED 40W variant.
Although it's written on the box that it's a Grenadier kit, it's not really... I received two complete single LED 40W Vision-X lamps with generic wiring harness (dual relay/fuse), two grille brackets and a bunch of screws and washers.
- First, the brackets are a bit wide for the lamps, additional washers were needed for the clamping force to actually work and not bend the brackets.
- The instructions are awful, it seems the guys who made the manual did not actually installed the lights. The instructions revolve around having the grille off the vehicle. There are additional screws at the bottom of the grille that cannot be removed without the complete bumper removal, which is not mentioned in the manual. You can do it without removing the grille from the vehicle, though.
- The no-drill/no-cut is wishful thinking. If you like your lamps clamping on the heatsink and them sticking out, that's ok... but more clearance is required for proper installation and cooling:
- You need an additional 6 wide washers for everything to be properly clamped. You need two wide washers to clamp each mounting point:
- You don't need the complete wiring harness, you only need the conectors. Given the 40W power of each lamp, 80W both of them, that's 6.5 AMPS, it should be ok for the existing harness, so it was nice if, instead of a useless harness with relays and switches, two adapters were provided so you don't have to cut the existing connectors. Anyway, no instructions are ginven in the manual what to do with the, now defunct, offroad lights connectors. They should be protected from the elements, if you go for the official installation (with the provided button).
Later edit: the e-fuse for the aux offroad lights trips with the upgraded lights after 5 seconds, so they need to go through a relay. Such a shame the built in circuit is so low in current capacity...
