3. Setup and Installation
Before you begin: Ensure your vehicle's engine is off and the ignition is in the 'OFF' position. Disconnect the negative terminal of your vehicle's battery to prevent electrical shorts during installation.
- Positioning the Lights: Determine the desired location for each of the four LED lights on your vehicle's front grille.
- Attaching the Lights:
- Clip the clamp of each LED light onto the edge of the grille.
- If your grille edge is thin, use the included double-sided tape for a secure fit.
- If your grille edge is thick, you may need to gently bend the clamp slightly to accommodate it.
- Wiring Connection:
- Connect all four LED lights to the provided Y-shaped wiring harness. Ensure connections are secure.
- Route the main wire from the harness to a suitable power source. You can wire it to your vehicle's front lamp, parking light, or directly to the fuse box (consult your vehicle's manual for appropriate fuse taps if using the fuse box).
- Ensure all wiring is neatly tucked away and secured to prevent damage from heat or movement.
- Testing: Reconnect your vehicle's battery. Turn on your vehicle's lights to test the functionality of the newly installed grille lights.
