- Ensure all connections are secure and insulated with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing.
5.3 Mounting the Lights
The lights are designed for grille installation. They typically feature small tabs with holes for mounting. Secure them firmly to your vehicle's grille using appropriate fasteners (not included, depending on vehicle type).

Once installed and wired correctly, the AHLTD Car Grille LED Lights will illuminate when the connected power source is active (e.g., when the ignition is on, or parking lights are activated, depending on your wiring choice). The yellow light effect is designed to improve vehicle identification and enhance driving safety, especially during low-light conditions or adverse weather.
7. Maintenance
- **Cleaning:** Clean the light units periodically with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the housing.
- **Inspection:** Regularly check the wiring and connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Ensure all mounting points remain secure.
