5. Installation
Installation of the AILEO Bi-Xenon Projector Lens requires opening the vehicle's headlamp assembly. Due to the complexity and potential need for modifications, professional installation is highly recommended.
General Installation Steps (Consult a professional or detailed vehicle-specific guides):
- Preparation: Ensure the vehicle's power is off and the headlights are cool. Gather necessary tools.
- Headlight Removal: Carefully remove the headlight assembly from the vehicle.
- Headlight Disassembly: Heat the headlight assembly to soften the sealant and carefully separate the lens from the housing.
- Original Reflector Removal: Remove the existing reflector or projector from the headlight housing.
- Projector Lens Installation: Mount the AILEO 2.5 inch Bi-Xenon Projector Lens into the headlight housing using the provided adapters (H4, H7, or universal fasteners) and rubber spacers. Ensure a secure fit.
- Bulb Insertion: Insert the compatible H1 Xenon or LED bulb into the projector lens.
- Wiring: Connect the wiring for the projector's solenoid (for high beam function) and the LED Angel Eyes (if applicable) to the vehicle's electrical system.
- Testing: Before sealing, test the low beam, high beam, and Angel Eyes functionality. Adjust the projector for proper beam alignment.
- Reassembly: Reseal the headlight assembly and reinstall it into the vehicle.
Note: Install H8, H9, H11, 9005 (HB3), or 9006 (HB4) using the universal installation fasteners.

6. Operating Instructions
The AILEO Bi-Xenon Projector Lens operates in two primary modes:
- Low Beam: By default, the projector provides a uniformly lit low beam pattern, designed to illuminate the road ahead without causing glare to oncoming drivers.
- High Beam: When the vehicle's high beam function is activated, the projector's solenoid engages, exposing more light through the lens to provide a full, extended high beam with a greater range of light.
- LED Angel Eyes (DRL): The integrated LED Angel Eyes function as Daytime Running Lights, enhancing the vehicle's presence during daylight hours.
