- Connect the wiring harness from the DRL units to the vehicle's electrical system. Typically, DRLs are connected to a power source that activates when the ignition is on.
- The red wire usually connects to the positive (+) terminal (e.g., ignition switched 12V).
- The black wire usually connects to the negative (-) terminal or vehicle ground.
- Some DRL kits include a control module for automatic on/off functionality. Refer to the specific wiring diagram provided with your kit if applicable.
- Ensure all connections are waterproof and secure.
- Testing:
- Reconnect the vehicle battery.
- Turn on the vehicle's ignition to test if the DRLs illuminate correctly.
- Verify that both lights are working and properly aligned.
6. Operating Instructions
The AMIO 01522 LED Daytime Running Lights are designed for automatic operation:
- Once properly installed and wired, the DRLs will typically turn on automatically when the vehicle's ignition is switched on.
- They are intended to increase vehicle visibility during daylight hours.
- Depending on the wiring configuration, they may dim or turn off when the vehicle's main headlights are activated.

8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your AMIO 01522 LED Daytime Running Lights, refer to the following table:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power supply, loose connection, blown fuse, incorrect wiring. | Check all wiring connections for security. Verify power supply to the DRLs. Check vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses. Ensure correct polarity (+/-). |
| One light is not working. | Faulty unit, loose connection to that specific light. | Inspect the wiring connection to the non-working light. If connections are secure, the unit may be faulty and require replacement. |
| Lights flicker or dim. | Unstable power supply, loose connection, voltage fluctuations. | Ensure stable 12V/24V power supply. Check for loose connections. Consult an automotive electrician if the issue persists. |
| Moisture inside the lens. | Seal compromise, extreme temperature changes. | Small amounts of condensation can occur and usually dissipate. If significant moisture or water ingress is present, the seal may be compromised. Check for cracks or damage. |
