Setup and Installation

The installation process involves preparing the headliner, inserting the fiber optic strands, and connecting the light engine. Professional installation is recommended for optimal results, but DIY installation is possible with careful attention to detail.

Installation Steps:

1. Remove the Car Roof Headliner: Carefully detach and remove the car's interior roof headliner. This step may vary depending on your vehicle model.
2. Mark and Drill Holes: On the back of the headliner, mark the desired pattern for your starlight effect. Use a small drill bit (appropriate for the fiber optic diameter) to create holes at each marked point.
3. Insert Fiber Optic Strands: Begin inserting the fiber optic strands through the drilled holes from the front (visible side) of the headliner. Arrange them according to your desired pattern.
4. Organize Fiber Optic Strands: On the back of the headliner, gather and organize the fiber optic strands. Ensure they are evenly distributed and not tangled.
5. Secure Fiber Optic Strands: Use a suitable adhesive (e.g., hot glue) to fix the fiber optic strands in place on the back of the headliner, preventing them from slipping out.
6. Insulate and Protect: Apply light sponge, cloth, or other suitable insulating material over the secured fiber optic strands to protect them and prevent rattling.
7. Trim Excess Fiber: Once all fibers are in place and secured, cut the extra length of fiber optic strands on the visible side of the headliner to achieve a flush finish.
8. Reinstall the Car Roof Headliner: Carefully reinstall the headliner back into your car, connecting the light engine to the fiber optic bundle and the power source.
