4. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your MICTUNING RGB LED Rock Lights:
- Planning the Layout: Determine the optimal placement for each of the 8 LED pods on your vehicle's undercarriage. Consider areas that will provide even illumination and are protected from direct impact.
- Mounting the Pods: Securely mount each LED pod using the provided screws and rubber pads. Ensure the mounting surface is clean and flat. The sturdy aluminum housing provides durability.
- Mounting the Control Box: Choose a dry, secure location for the Bluetooth control box, such as under the hood or inside the cabin. Ensure it is easily accessible for wiring and protected from water and excessive heat. The control box features a built-in automotive-grade chip for stable Bluetooth connection.
