4. Setup & Installation

This section outlines the steps for installing your starlight headliner kit. Planning is crucial for a successful installation.

4.1 Planning the Layout

• Determine the desired pattern for your stars. Consider density and distribution.
• Identify the optimal location for the light engine. It should be accessible for power and control, and discreetly hidden.
• Measure the area to ensure the 9.8ft (3m) fiber length is sufficient for all desired star points.

4.2 Preparing the Surface

• For vehicle headliners, carefully remove the headliner from the vehicle. Refer to your vehicle's service manual for specific instructions.
• Clean the surface where the fibers will be installed to ensure proper adhesion if using adhesive.

4.3 Drilling Holes

• Using a small drill bit (e.g., 0.02in or 0.5mm), carefully drill holes in the headliner according to your planned pattern.
• Ensure holes are clean and free of burrs.

4.4 Inserting Fiber Optic Cables

• Insert individual fiber optic cables through the drilled holes from the front (visible) side of the headliner.
• Secure each fiber on the back side of the headliner. Small dabs of hot glue or a strong adhesive can be used.
• Group the fibers together and trim them to the desired length on the back side, ensuring they can reach the light engine.
• Use the provided fiber optic sleeve to bundle the fibers neatly.

4.5 Connecting the Light Engine

• Insert the bundled fiber optic cables into the light engine's port. Ensure they are securely seated.
• Connect the power adapter to the light engine and then to a 12V power source. For vehicle installations, this typically involves tapping into a switched 12V power source (e.g., accessory power).
• Ensure all connections are secure and insulated.
