General Installation Steps

1. Preparation: Park the vehicle on a level surface, engage the parking brake, and turn off the engine. Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
2. Access: Depending on your vehicle model, you may need to remove the grille or other front-end components to access the headlight mounting bolts.
3. Remove Old Headlights: Unbolt the existing headlight assemblies and carefully disconnect the wiring harnesses.
4. Install New Headlights: Connect the wiring harness of the new DNA Motoring headlights to the vehicle's factory harness. Ensure all connections are secure. Mount the new headlight assemblies into position and secure them with the appropriate bolts.
5. Reconnect Battery: Reconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle's battery.
6. Test Functionality: Turn on the vehicle and test all headlight functions: low beam, high beam, turn signals, and running lights.
7. Aiming: Properly aim the headlights according to local regulations and manufacturer guidelines to ensure optimal visibility and prevent glare for other drivers.

Operating Instructions

These headlights feature advanced LED lighting components for various functions:

• Dual LED Halo Running Lights: These illuminate as white halo rings when your vehicle's running lights are active, providing a distinct visual signature.
• Projector LED Low Beam: Provides a focused and wide beam pattern for standard driving conditions. (2,500 Lumens, 1.13 Amps, 12V DC Input)
• Barrel Style LED High Beam: Offers a powerful, long-range beam for maximum visibility when needed. (1,700 Lumens, 1.42 Amps, 12V DC Input)
• Sequential Chase LED Turn Signal: The amber LEDs illuminate in a sequential pattern, clearly indicating your turning intentions.
• Amber Side Marker Light: Enhances side visibility of the vehicle.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the headlight lenses with a soft cloth and mild soap and water to remove dirt and debris. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that can damage the polycarbonate lens.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the headlight assemblies for any signs of damage, cracks, or moisture intrusion. Ensure all wiring connections remain secure.
• Bulb Replacement: These headlights utilize integrated LEDs, which are designed for long life and typically do not require bulb replacement. If an LED component fails, the entire assembly may need servicing or replacement.

Troubleshooting

• Lights Not Working: Check all wiring connections to ensure they are secure. Verify that the vehicle's fuses related to the headlights are intact. Ensure the battery is properly connected and charged.
• Flickering Lights: This could indicate a loose connection or an issue with the vehicle's electrical system. Recheck connections. If load resistors were provided, ensure they are correctly installed.
• Moisture Inside Lens: While designed to be water-resistant, extreme temperature changes can sometimes cause temporary condensation. If persistent moisture or water accumulation is observed, inspect the seals and housing for damage.
• Turn Signals Malfunctioning: If turn signals flash too fast (hyper-flashing), ensure any provided load resistors are correctly installed. This issue often occurs when replacing incandescent bulbs with LEDs without proper resistance.
