Fitting guide
An evening in the garage.
Bracket, harness, trigger, aim. Here is the whole job in order — most owners say it took them an hour or two.
Installation manual (PDF)- 01
Pick the spot, then the bracket
Under the number plate with the EU-plate bracket, in the grille, or on a bull bar with a tube mount. The Panther 9 has a mounting foot and a ready hole for an upper stabilizer bar, so it stays put on a truck roof.
- 02
Use the relay harness
Run the Pro Serie relay harness from the battery: red to +, black to the chassis, the fused relay next to the battery. The light's DTP connector clicks straight into it.
- 03
Take the trigger from the high beam
The harness's thin trigger wire taps the car's high-beam feed, so the light follows your stalk. On a halogen car that is one connector.
- 04
LED headlights or CAN bus? Use XBB
Newer cars switch the high beam over the CAN bus. Plug the XBB Dongle into the OBD port and the PowerUnit relay into the Dualrelay harness: it reads the high-beam signal wirelessly, no cutting into looms.
- 05
Wire the parking light
The yellow (orange) and white wires are the two-colour parking light. Connect one of them to the car's position-light feed — or both to a switch and choose by mood.
- 06
Choose the mode
The Panther 9 ships in PowerBoost®. To switch: light off, on for two seconds, then off-and-on twice within 1.5 seconds. Repeat to switch back. The last mode is remembered.
- 07
Aim it
On a flat stretch at night, adjust the light so the top edge of the beam sits level with the car's own high beam. Tighten the stabilizer bars so it stays there on gravel.
- 08
Stay inside the rules
Under ECE R48 the combined reference number of all high beams on a car — the originals included — may not exceed 100. This light is Ref. 25: check the marking on your headlamps before adding more.
- 09
Warning light and sync
Green wire to + for the R65 orange warning light (five patterns). Join the grey wires of several Panthers and they flash in sync.
Keeping it like new
Wash the lens, don't scrape it
Polycarbonate scratches. Soak road salt off with water before wiping, and never use an ice scraper on the lens.
Grease the connector
A dab of dielectric grease on the DTP pins keeps winter out of the connector for years.
Check the bolts after the first week
Brackets settle. One turn on the stabilizer and foot bolts after the first 500 km stops the rattle before it starts.
PowerBoost is for off-road
Road-traffic approval covers the road mode only. Switch to PowerBoost on forest roads and closed tracks.
Owner tips
- Two is the sweet spot
Two Panther 9s under the plate reach 1,018 m at one lux in PowerBoost®. Four reach 1,440 m.
- Protect the lens on gravel
The Panther 9 stone guard clips on in seconds and is cheaper than a lens.
- Plough and works vehicles
Wire the green wire to a switch and you have a legal R65 beacon without a separate light on the roof.
- Longer cable
The lead is about 100 cm. On a wide bumper, add a DT extension cable rather than splicing.
Measured, not promised
The numbers from the lab.
Every Purelux is measured in Valostore's light laboratory in Oulu: output, range at 1 and 0.25 lux, power draw and colour temperature. We publish what we measured, even when it is lower than the box.
The manufacturer publishes no single lumen figure for this light, so the measured number is the only one you will see from us. Colour temperature 5,019 K measured; range 720 m at 1 lux and 1,418 m at 0.25 lux.
Range with several lights · PowerBoost®, @ 1 lux
- One720 m
- Two1,018 m
- Three1,247 m
- Four1,440 m
Modes · output, range and power — measured
Range is the distance at which the beam still delivers 1 lux (roughly a full moon) or 0.25 lux. Measured at 24 V with a clean lens; full lab curves are available to professional buyers on request.
Why Panther 9
The round light that did not make you choose.
Round lights used to mean a decision: a legal light that was polite, or an off-road light that was not. The Panther 9 carries both. A button sequence on the stalk switches between the E-approved road mode and PowerBoost®, and the lamp remembers which you used last.
The beam is the Panther signature: a wide rectangular main beam that lights the road edge to edge, with a hotspot in the centre that reaches 720 metres at one lux. It is cut softly in the vertical, so the light goes down the road, not into the sky or the fog in front of you.
An R65-approved orange warning light, a two-colour parking light and a reference number of 25 mean the same lamp works on a timber truck, a plough, a van and a family estate — and that you can fit several of them legally.

Owners on the Panther 9
“Driven with these since they came out. Completely happy — great beam, above all the width, which you appreciate on winding country roads.”
“Really fine lights. Incredible beam pattern. Two went on the front of the Land Cruiser — and appetite grows with eating, so the panel from the same series knows where its box is.”
“Installed in a couple of hours with interior switches. Tested in heavy snow: perfect light, far more to the sides than the photos suggest.”
“Neat set for the front of a Transit. Massive lights, but the shallow body helps installation.”
“Good grief it got bright. Downright biblical. Ridiculously pleased.”
“Got value for money — the product was presented well on the site. Very fast delivery is a big plus.”
