Step-by-Step Installation Guide

  1. Turn off the car and disconnect the battery: Ensure safety by disconnecting the negative terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

  4. Connect to power: Tap into the 12V power source, usually the dome light circuit, so the LEDs turn on with the interior lights. Secure all wiring with electrical tape or connectors.
  5. Test the lights: Reconnect the battery and test your LED setup to ensure all lights function properly.
  6. Reassemble panels: Snap panels back into place, hiding wires neatly using zip ties or clips.
