Setup and Installation

Proper installation ensures optimal performance and aesthetic appeal. Follow these steps carefully.

1. Planning and Preparation

Before beginning, plan the desired locations for your LED strips. Identify crevices and gaps in your car's interior where the acrylic strips can be securely inserted. Ensure the main controller and sub-controllers can be discreetly placed with access to power.

2. Installing the Acrylic Light Strips

The acrylic light strips are designed to be flexible and can be cut to your desired length.

1. Use the provided pry tool to gently open gaps in your car's trim, such as along the dashboard, door panels, or center console.
2. Carefully insert the acrylic LED light strip into the gap. Push the strip in firmly as you go, ensuring it is flush with the trim.
3. Leave a small portion of the light strip exposed at the ends where it will connect to the black cables of the controllers.
4. For areas requiring custom lengths, cut the acrylic strip with scissors. Ensure cuts are clean.

3. Connecting Controllers and Power

The main controller manages the overall lighting system, while sub-controllers are used for individual sections like door handle lights.

1. Connect the main controller's power cable (red and black wires) to a 12V power source in your vehicle (e.g., fuse panel accessory power). The red wire is positive (+), and the black wire is negative (-).
2. Connect the ends of the acrylic light strips to the appropriate ports on the main controller and sub-controllers.
3. The sub-controllers require individual 12V constant power (one for each door, for example) but communicate wirelessly with the main controller for color control.
4. Secure all controllers and excess wiring using the provided car tape or cable ties to ensure a tidy and safe installation.

Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LED strip lights:

• Keep the light strips and controllers clean and free from dust and debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Avoid exposing the components to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for prolonged periods.
• The LED strips are waterproof, but the controllers should be protected from direct water exposure.
• Regularly check wiring connections to ensure they remain secure.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LED strip light kit, refer to the following common solutions:

Lights Not Turning On

• Check Power Connection: Ensure the main controller is correctly wired to a 12V power source and that the connection is secure.
• Verify Fuse: Check the vehicle's fuse box for any blown fuses related to the power source.
• Controller Connection: Confirm that all light strips are properly connected to the main and sub-controllers.

Lights Not Responding to App/Button

• Bluetooth Connection: For app control, ensure your phone's Bluetooth is on and connected to the device in the "Magic Lantern" app.
• App Restart: Close and reopen the "Magic Lantern" app.
• Controller Reset: Disconnect and reconnect the main controller's power to perform a soft reset.

Inconsistent Lighting/Colors

• Strip Connection: Check the connection points of the affected light strips to their respective controllers. A loose connection can cause inconsistent lighting.
• Power Fluctuation: Ensure a stable 12V power supply to the main controller.

Lights Flash Rainbow Pattern at Startup (Dreamcolor models)

• This is a default feature for Dreamcolor kits. If a static color at startup is preferred, an RGB kit (not Dreamcolor) would be required. Contact customer support for alternative options if this is not desired.
