🛠️ Install Guide – Step by Step
Step 1: Test Your Product
Before you begin disassembly, test your DRL boards using a 12V power source or the RGBW controller. Make sure:
-
All colors light up correctly
-
You understand the wiring layout
Refer to our RGBW Wiring Guide if needed.
Step 2: Remove Front Bumper
To access the headlights:
-
Turn wheels inward for easier access to inner fender liners.
-
Remove push clips and 10mm bolts under the bumper, in the wheel wells, and along the top radiator support.
-
Gently pull the bumper forward and set aside on a clean towel or blanket.
Step 3: Remove Headlights
-
Remove the 10mm bolts securing each headlight.
-
Disconnect the headlight harness.
-
Carefully lift out the headlight housing.
Step 4: Open the Headlights
You can open the headlights using one of two methods:
🔥 Oven Method (Recommended)
-
Preheat to 230°F
-
Place headlight on a baking sheet for 10–15 minutes
-
Use a flathead screwdriver or trim tool to gently pry the lens from the housing
🔥 Heat Gun Method
-
Use a heat gun to warm the edges of the headlight
-
Soften the sealant gradually while prying open the lens

Step 5: Install DRL Boards
-
Identify the factory DRL board and remove the screws holding it in place.
-
Replace it with the RGBW DRL board using the same screws.
-
Use gloves to avoid leaving residue on the LED surface.
-
Ensure wires exit the housing through a grommet or small drilled hole. Seal this area afterward to prevent moisture.
Step 6: Reseal the Headlights
-
Clean off old sealant.
-
Apply new butyl sealant or silicone around the channel.
-
Press the lens back into place firmly.
-
Optionally reheat and clamp the housing shut for a tighter seal.
Step 7: Reinstall Headlights & Bumper
-
Reconnect the harness and mount the headlights back into position.
-
Reinstall the bumper using the reverse steps of removal.
Step 8: Final Wiring
-
Connect the RGBW wires to your Bluetooth controller or existing RGBW hub.
-
Use included wiring guide or visit the Wiring Help Center.
-
Secure all wiring using zip ties and keep away from hot/moving components.
-
Test again to confirm operation of all lighting zones.
⚠️ Pro Tips
-
Let the sealant cure fully (12–24 hours) before washing or driving through rain.
-
Take photos during disassembly to assist with reassembly.
