3.3 Wiring Instructions:
The included deluxe wiring harness simplifies installation. It is designed for a 12V system.
- Connect Lights: Connect the Deutsch connectors from the LED cube lights to the corresponding connectors on the wiring harness. Ensure a secure, waterproof connection.
- Power Connection: Connect the positive (+) wire from the harness to a 12V power source (e.g., battery positive terminal) and the negative (-) wire to a suitable ground point on the vehicle chassis. The harness includes an in-line fuse for circuit protection.
- Switch Installation: Install the on/off switch in a convenient location within the vehicle's cabin. Route the switch wiring safely, away from moving parts or heat sources.
- Relay Placement: Secure the 12V40A relay in a dry, protected area, ensuring it is not exposed to excessive heat or moisture.
- Test Functionality: Before finalizing all connections, briefly test the lights to ensure they power on and off correctly using the switch.
Note: If you are unsure about any wiring steps, it is recommended to consult a professional automotive electrician.
4. Operating Instructions
Once installed and wired, operating your Aurora LED Cube Lights is straightforward:
- Power On/Off: Use the installed on/off switch to activate or deactivate the lights. The switch typically includes an LED indicator to show when the lights are active.
- Beam Pattern: These lights feature a flood beam pattern, designed to illuminate a wide area directly in front of your vehicle, which is ideal for off-road trails and improving visibility in foggy conditions.
