5. Safety Information
- Always disconnect the vehicle's battery before performing any electrical work to prevent short circuits or electrical shock.
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure and properly insulated to avoid electrical hazards and moisture ingress.
- Do not modify the product in any way. Unauthorized modifications may void the warranty and pose safety risks.
- Keep wiring away from hot engine parts, moving components, and sharp edges.
- Ensure the light strip is installed in a location that does not obstruct the door's closing mechanism or interfere with other vehicle functions.
- Verify that the installed lights comply with local traffic laws and regulations regarding vehicle lighting.
6. Setup & Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation:
- Prepare the Surface: Clean the inner edge of your car door thoroughly where the light strip will be applied. Ensure the surface is dry and free of dust, grease, or wax.
- Apply the Light Strip: Peel off the protective film from the adhesive backing (viscose) of the light strip. Carefully align and press the strip firmly along the inner edge of the car door. Ensure a smooth, bubble-free application.
- Route the Wiring: Carefully route the wiring from the light strip into the car's interior. This may involve gently prying open trim panels or using existing cable channels. Use a plastic pry tool to avoid damaging your car's interior.
- Secure the Wiring: Once routed, secure the wiring under the car's trim or along existing cable paths to prevent it from being pinched or damaged when the door closes.
- Connect to Power: Identify a suitable 12V power source that is activated when the car door opens (e.g., dome light circuit, door sensor wiring). Connect the red wire of the light strip to the positive (+) terminal and the black wire to the negative (-) or ground terminal of the power source. Ensure a good contact and durable connection.
