An Overview on how to install LED under car lights.
Are you having trouble installing LED under car lights
onto your vehicle? Or maybe your just not sure where all the
wires for the under car lights go? Let us show you all the "in's
& out's" of this type of installation - which i should mention,
is designed with the "Novice" in mind.
The first thing
you'll need to do when installing LED under car lights,
is to find where you want to mount the led tubes. Be sure to
keep their location in mind while doing the wiring part of the
installation, so you can allow for the correct lengths of the
wires.
It is ideal to mount the led tubes so as they are
centered between the overall length of the vehicle for optimal
appearance. Tubes should be positioned on the chassis of the
vehicle so as they are not visible. Visible led car
lights are prohibited by law in most cities.
You'll now
need to disconnect the battery before starting on the
installation and the drilling of holes. Do this by disconnecting
the negative battery cable. This led under car lights
installation involves disconnecting the battery first and
foremost for safety reasons, and so you don't "short-out" your
car wiring.
The easiest way to mount the LED tubes
is to start the screws in the brackets first,(supplied in kit)
then holding the bracket in place, insert and tighten the screws
into the holes. Make sure that the wires coming from the *Side*
tubes are facing the front of the vehicle. It's best to tighten
the screws just enough to hold the bracket in place, then go
back after once you almost finished and individually tighten
each one until it seats firmly.
You should have a
distribution block in your under car lights kit, find a good
location for the block on a flat surface in the engine
compartment away from any heat or moving parts.
Next you
will need to determine a location inside your vehicle to mount
the digital control panel. You want it to be in a location where
you can easily access all its buttons and functions while your
sitting in the vehicle. The
LED under car lights
distribution block and the control panel can be hooked together using
the ribbon wire that comes with your particular kit. The wire needs to
be pushed through a hole in the firewall and plugged into the
"input"
on the side of distribution block. For those of you who may be a bit
confused as to what the firewall is, it's the wall that divides the
engine compartment and the interior of the vehicle. Be careful when you
do this because the wire adaptors are fragile.
The power wire on the digital control panel can be connected
directly to the Positive side of the car battery or to any 12V power
wire under the dashboard. There will also be an "Earth wire" or Negative
ground wire coming out from the
control panel that will need to
be securely screwed to the chassis of the vehicle or to any "Earth wire"
to complete the power circuit.
Finally, to be able to operate your LED under
car lights, the included switch and fuse should be
connected between the control panel and the power supply. All
you need to do now is to plug all the LED tubes into the
Distribution block, complete any additional wiring according to
your kit instructions and then you'll be all set to show em off!
