Important Installation Requirements
The original DRL boards are located inside the sealed headlight assemblies. The headlights must therefore be removed and opened before the internal boards can be accessed and replaced.
Headlight Lens Removal
The headlight lens must be carefully separated from the housing to provide access to the original internal DRL boards.
Board and RGB System Installation
The original DRL boards must be replaced with the RGB boards designed for the selected headlight configuration. The RGB control hardware and additional electrical wiring must also be installed.
Professional Installation
Professional installation is strongly recommended because the headlights must be opened, correctly reassembled and properly resealed after the RGB boards have been installed.
