4. Safety Information
- Always disconnect the vehicle's battery before beginning installation to prevent electrical shorts.
- Ensure all wiring connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent moisture ingress and short circuits.
- Route wires away from hot engine parts, moving components, and sharp edges to prevent damage.
- Verify the correct polarity when connecting to the battery (Red wire to positive, Black wire to negative).
- Do not cut or modify the LED strips unless explicitly instructed, as this may damage the product and void the warranty.
- Use appropriate fuses as supplied or recommended to protect the circuit.
- Ensure the controller is mounted in a dry, protected location.
5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps for proper installation of your LED light kit:
- Plan Layout: Before attaching, plan the placement of each LED strip on your motorcycle to ensure even lighting and proper cable routing. Consider areas like the underbody, frame, fairings, and wheel arches.
- Clean Surfaces: Thoroughly clean and dry all surfaces where LED strips will be mounted. Use rubbing alcohol to remove any grease or dirt for optimal adhesive bonding.
- Attach LED Strips: Peel the backing from the adhesive tape on each LED strip and firmly press it onto the desired surface. Use the included zip ties for additional security, especially in high-vibration areas.
- Connect Splitters: Connect the LED strips to the provided 3-way and Y-way splitters. Ensure all connections are snug.
- Connect to Controller: Connect the splitters to the main controller unit.
- Power Connection: Connect the controller's red wire to the positive (+) terminal of your 12V battery and the black wire to the negative (-) terminal. Ensure the inline fuse is properly installed.
- Optional Brake/Turn Signal Wiring:
- Brake Light (Blue Wire): Connect the blue wire from the controller to your motorcycle's brake light positive wire. When the brake is applied, all LED strips will illuminate red.
- Turn Signals (Yellow Wires): Connect the two yellow wires from the controller to your motorcycle's left and right turn signal positive wires, respectively. The corresponding side's LEDs will flash amber when the turn signal is activated.
- Secure Wiring: Use zip ties to neatly secure all wiring, keeping it away from moving parts, heat sources, and potential pinch points.

7. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the LED strips with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the waterproof coating.
- Connection Check: Periodically inspect all wiring connections for tightness and signs of wear or corrosion. Re-secure or replace any damaged components.
- Waterproofing Integrity: Although rated IP68 waterproof, regularly check the silicone tubing and end caps for any signs of damage that could compromise water resistance.
- Fuse Replacement: If the lights stop working, check the inline fuse. Replace it with a fuse of the same rating if blown.
