Pre-Installation Checks
Vehicle Compatibility
These wheel ring lights are designed for most 12V vehicles. Ensure your vehicle has a brake dust shield for proper mounting. Installation is not possible if your car lacks a cover plate.

Measure Wheel and Rotor Diameter
Accurate measurements are crucial for proper fitment. Please follow these guidelines:
- Measure the wheel diameter at the rim's inner lips. The number following 'R' on your tire specifications indicates the inner rim diameter (e.g., R19 means 19 inches).
- Measure the integrated overall diameter of the rotor and brake caliper pad, which will be considered the brake rotor's diameter.

For 15.5-inch wheel rings, ensure the rotor diameter is ≤ 13 inches and the rim diameter is ≥ 19 inches.

Installation Guide
Follow these steps carefully for a secure and functional installation:
- Mounting the Wheel Rings: Attach the stainless steel mounting brackets to the wheel rings using the provided hardware. Ensure the brackets are positioned correctly.
- Secure to Dust Shield: Mount the assembled wheel rings with brackets directly to the vehicle's dust shield or hub assembly. Use the provided screws and ensure a firm hold. For extra security, apply an appropriate amount of threadlocker (e.g., Loctite) to the screws.
- Wiring Connections: Connect the wheel ring lights to the control box. Each wheel ring lead is 13 feet (160 inches) long.
- Control Box Installation: Install the control box in a dry, secure location, typically in the engine compartment.
- Power and Signal Wiring: Connect the control box to your vehicle's 12V power source. Connect the specific wires for turn signals (blue for left, black for right), brake (red), and reverse (white) to the corresponding vehicle wiring. Ensure waterproof connectors are used for all external connections.
