Installation Guide
You can view our available YouTube installation videos here.
BASIC INSTALLATION GUIDE:
- Make sure the vehicle is off and lights are off before beginning. Remove your existing halogen bulbs from your vehicle (refer to your owner’s manual for instructions). Some vehicles require more work than others and at times may require the headlight housing and/or bumper to be removed during installation.
- Install and secure the bulbs in their place. (If it's an HID, Do NOT touch the bulbs) - Touching the bulbs will decrease their life span, use gloves or be extra cautious. The new bulb should sit where the original bulb was and the bulb connector connected to the power plug from your vehicle.. Seal the headlight housing with the dust cap. (if applicable). If you are installing an LED kit, you're done. If installing an HID, keep on reading.
- Using zip ties and/or mounting tape provided, place the ballasts on a solid and well-ventilated location under the hood near the headlight reflector. Allow the necessary distance for the base connector to reach the bulb. Mount the ballast away from moving components, such as A/C or power steering pump.
- Connect all the plugs from the ballast to the bulb.
- Tie all cables in place. You can use zip ties to secure the wiring harness (if applicable). Make sure no moving object/s or heat producing object/s are near them. Confirm that all components are fastened properly before operation.
- Test your lights to make sure that they are working correctly. If not, ensure the power plug is plugged in correctly. Also, try reversing the ballast input plug, it can be inverted.
- Enjoy your new HID lights!
WARNINGS:
- This is a system that produces high voltage electricity. High voltage is dangerous. To avoid electric shock, it is recommended to disconnect your battery before installing the HID system. Installation by an inexperienced person may not be recommended. If you feel you are not inclined to do the job, be sure to consult a professional for installation. Faulty or insecure installation can result in electrical problems and shock. The system produces high voltage electricity, which may interact with electronic components. Therefore, for cars equipped with advanced electronic control such as on board computer it is strongly recommended to consult with a specialist before installation. The manufacturer declines any claim resulted by inappropriate installation or application.
- Do not disassemble or modify the ballasts or wire harnesses. Not only does this void warranty, but this product produces high pressure electricity! So tampering with these components may result in electric shock. We are not responsible for malfunction or hazardous conditions caused by tampering and modification with the system.
- Wait until the lights have cooled after turning them off. When the lights are operating, the bulbs emit heat at high temperatures and can cause burns if touched before cooling.
- Keep the system and its components away from paper, cloth, and flammables such as lacquer, thinner, and solvents to prevent fires and damage to your vehicle. All HID kit parts and accessories including but not limited to ballasts, bulbs, relays, warning cancelers, resistors and capacitors can get extremely hot under normal operation. Do not affix them on or near painted surfaces, wires, plastic parts or rubber in order to prevent scorching, burning or melting which can cause a fire. Don’t affix any of the products in a location if it is not heat-resistant and properly ventilated and do not install if your vehicle does not have any such location. The actual distance from any non-heat-resistant location is subject to the specifications of your vehicle; therefore, it is entirely your responsibility to ensure that all components associated with your HID kit is affixed safely and securely.
- Be sure to turn the lights on only after starting your engine to avoid battery drainage and possible damage to the HID lights.
- HID lights are very bright! Avoid looking directly into the light to prevent potential damage to your eyes. Your headlights may need to be be aligned after installation. HID bulbs are much brighter than halogen bulbs. If you position the lights in an upward direction it can reduce the visibility for oncoming traffic due to glare. If you do not know how to adjust your lights, please consult a professional.
- In the event of a car accident, be sure to turn off the vehicle’s power to prevent high voltage electric leakage from damaged product components.
- All XENON HID aftermarket kits are intended for exhibition and off road use only. Check local laws regarding the use of HID lights on public roads.
