The Installation Process:​

Before You Start: ​

• Check Compatibility: Our kit ships with a 16-pin connector. Please verify your headlight's plug type before proceeding.
  
• Test First: You can skip Step 1 and jump to Step 2 to test the electrical connection before the full installation.

Step 1: Install Light​

• Use a pry tool to remove the corresponding original panel (Fig. 1) and open the front hood.
• Peel off the adhesive backing from the side marker light. (Fig. 2)
• Thread the light's wire through vehicle's existing hole, and press the light firmly into place. (Fig. 3)

​

Step 2: Connect Wires​

• Connect the wire from the side marker light to the T-harness. (Fig. 4)
• Locate and unplug the main connector from the back of the headlight (Fig. 5), then plug it into the female end of the T-harness (Fig. 6).
• Finally, plug the remaining male end of the T-harness into the headlight, completing the circuit.

​

Step 3: Secure Wiring​

• Remove the adhesive backing from the wire clip and secure it to a surface in the engine bay. (Fig. 7)
• Route the loose wiring neatly and secure it with a zip tie. (Fig. 8)

​

Step 4: Install Opposite Side​

• Remove the air filter box for access (Fig. 9), and the connector location on this side is shown below (Fig. 10).
• Then repeat the installation process (Steps 1-3).

​

Step 5: Function Test​

Reconnect the battery and verify:​

• DRL mode (steady on)
• Turn signal (flashing)
• Sync with factory turn signals
