Setup and Installation

Careful installation ensures optimal performance and appearance. It is recommended to test all components before final installation.

  1. Preparation: Lay out all components and test them by connecting them to the main controller and power source. Ensure all lights illuminate and respond to the app or touch button. This step is crucial for verifying functionality and light pattern orientation.
  2. Identify Installation Locations: Determine the desired placement for each light strip and component within your vehicle's interior. Common areas include the dashboard, door panels, footwells, door handles, and storage boxes.
  3. Create Gaps: Use the provided pry tool to carefully open gaps in the vehicle's interior panels where the acrylic light strips will be inserted.
  4. Insert Light Strips: Gently squeeze the acrylic LED light strips into the prepared gaps. Ensure a secure and flush fit.
  5. Connect Components:
    • Connect the main controller to your vehicle's 12V power source.
    • Connect the sub-controllers to the main controller. The main controller must be energized to control sub-controllers.
    • Connect the acrylic light strips, footwell lamps, door handle lights, and storage box lights to the appropriate main or sub-controllers.
  6. Secure Wiring: Use car tape, double-sided tape, or zip ties to secure all wiring, preventing rattling noises and ensuring a clean, organized installation.
  7. Final Check: Once all components are installed and wired, perform a final test to confirm all lights are functioning correctly and responding to controls.

Important Note on Cutting Strips: If cutting light strips for custom fit, ensure cuts are straight (90 degrees) to allow light to emit fully to the end. Angled cuts may prevent light emission in that section.
