Mounting Instructions
Step 1 — Mount the LED Strips
Locate where to mount your LED strips in the engine bay. Make sure the surface is clean before mounting. Attach the LED strips using the 3M adhesive backing, or use the included zip ties for additional mounting security.
Step 2 — Mount the Hood Switch
Using a 12mm wrench, remove the nut and washer from the bottom of the switch. Insert the switch into one of the existing holes along the outer edge of the engine bay where the hood makes contact. Adjust the switch height by twisting the nut — the hood should make very minor contact with the push button. Secure the switch by fastening the nut back onto the bottom. Plug the pink spade connector onto the bottom of the switch.
Step 3 — Connect the LED Strips to the Harness
Plug the DC connector into the included DC-to-DT adapter wire, then plug the DT connector into your RGBW controller. Plug the M8 connector on each strip into the controller. Connect the red power wire to the positive terminal on the battery.
Troubleshooting
If the kit doesn't function as expected, adjust the door pin switch to ensure there is a proper ground connection.
