4. Setup and Installation
Installation of the fiber optic starlight kit requires careful planning and execution. It is recommended to take your time to achieve the best results.
4.1 Planning the Layout
- Determine the desired pattern for your twinkling stars and shooting meteors on the ceiling or headliner.
- Consider the length of the fiber optic cables and the placement of the light engine. The light engine should be placed in a discreet location with access to power.
- For shooting star effects, plan the paths for the 12 shooting star fiber cables. Each meteor port on the light engine supports 15 individual shooting star cables, allowing for long lines, short lines, or other dynamic shapes like fireworks.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Prepare the Surface: If installing in a car, carefully remove the headliner. For home ceilings, ensure the surface is clean and accessible.
- Drill Holes: Using an electric drill, create small holes in the ceiling or headliner according to your planned star pattern. The size of the holes should be just large enough to allow the fiber optic strands to pass through.
- Insert Fiber Optic Strands: Begin inserting the individual fiber optic strands through the drilled holes from the back side of the headliner/ceiling. For the twinkling stars, distribute the fibers evenly to create a dense star field.
- Connect Twinkle Fibers: Gather all the twinkle fiber optic strands and insert them into the 20mm diameter light port on one side of the light engine. Secure them in place, often with glue or a provided connector.
- Install Shooting Star Fibers: For the shooting star effect, insert the 12 shooting star fiber cables into the 12 LED meteor ports (5mm per port) on the other side of the light engine. Route these cables to create the desired meteor trails. Ensure one fiber from each loom is used for proper stepping of the shooting star effect.
- Secure Fibers: Once all fibers are in place, use glue or other securing methods to prevent them from slipping. Trim any excess fiber length on the visible side of the headliner/ceiling.
- Mount Light Engine: Securely mount the light engine in its chosen hidden location using the provided screws. Ensure it is well-ventilated.
- Connect Power: Connect the power adapter cord to the light engine and then to either the car plug adapter (for car installation) or the standard power outlet (for home installation).

6. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your AZIMOM Starlight Headliner Kit, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the light engine and exposed fiber ends with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Ventilation: Ensure the light engine has adequate ventilation to prevent overheating. Do not block any vents.
- Fiber Care: Avoid bending or kinking the fiber optic cables sharply, as this can damage the light transmission.
- Remote Battery: If the remote control's range or responsiveness decreases, replace the Lithium Metal battery (CR2025 or CR2032, as specified on the remote).
