- Connect Power: Connect the main power wire (red) to a 12V DC power source (e.g., vehicle battery positive terminal) and the ground wire (black) to a suitable ground point on the vehicle chassis. Ensure the inline fuse is properly installed on the positive power line for protection.
- Test System: Once all connections are secure, turn on the power switch and test the lights using the remote controls or mobile app.
