3. Setup and Installation
This ambient light system is designed for DIY installation and is suitable for over 90% of car models. The light strips can be cut to your desired length, and the system uses non-destructive plug connectors for easy integration.
- Preparation: Before installation, identify the areas in your car where you want to install the ambient lights (e.g., dashboard, door panels, footwells).
- Disassembly (if necessary): Carefully remove relevant interior panels (e.g., door panels, dashboard trim) to access wiring and create gaps for the light strips.
- Install Light Strips: Insert the light guide strips into existing gaps or trim lines in your car's interior. The built-in hidden design ensures a seamless look. You can easily cut off any extra length from the light strips; the cut part will not be used.
