LED Strip Installation
Follow these steps to install the LED strips:
- Choose your desired location to install the light strips. Refer to the placement diagram.
- Clean the surface thoroughly with the provided alcohol pads and let it dry completely.
- Peel off the 3M™ tape backer from the bottom of the light strips and carefully apply them to the desired area.
- Use the wire mounting brackets and screws to secure the LED strips or wires as shown in the diagram. Pilot holes may be drilled before driving in screws for easier installation.
[Diagram Description: A diagram shows suggested placement locations for the LED strips on a vehicle, illustrating underglow areas and potential front grill placement.]
Installing the Smart Hub
The Smart Hub requires a 12V power source.
- Choose your desired location for the Smart Hub.
- Clean the surface thoroughly with isopropyl alcohol and let it dry completely.
- Peel off the 3M™ tape backer from the bottom of the Smart Hub and carefully apply it to the desired area.
- For exterior installation, 12V Hardwire installation is recommended.
12V Hardwire Installation
Smart Hub hardwire cables are color-coded: RED for POSITIVE (+) and BLACK for NEGATIVE (-).
- Connect the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) battery clamp. The POSITIVE battery post is typically slightly larger than the NEGATIVE post and marked with a PLUS (+) sign. A RED protective cover may be present.
- Connect the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) battery clamp. The NEGATIVE terminal is marked with a MINUS (-) sign. A BLACK plastic protective cover may be present.
[Diagram Description: An illustration details the 12V hardwire installation of the Smart Hub, showing the connection of the RED cable to the POSITIVE (+) battery terminal and the BLACK cable to the NEGATIVE (-) battery terminal of a vehicle. It highlights visual cues for identifying the positive and negative battery posts.]
[Note] After connecting the Smart Hub to the car battery, the LED power indicator will flash Blue. If it does not flash, recheck your power connections.
The Smart HUB has built-in voltage protection to prevent car battery drain. The lights will automatically turn off and the HUB will enter standby mode when the voltage drops to approximately 12V. If the car battery is below 12V, do not turn on the LED lights until the engine is started or power returns to 12V or above.
[Warning] DO NOT mix up the cables or allow the metal ends to touch together, as this may damage the battery, charging system, and/or vehicle electronics. Ensure the vehicle's engine is not running during installation.
