Installation Instructions
Step 1 - Removing Factory LED Board
Note: Headlights must be opened before proceeding with installation. This process can be completed by heating and prying the lens from the housing. We recommend viewing example videos online to understand the process; however, professional installation is strongly recommended. Please contact Diode Dynamics if you need assistance locating an installer.
Remove the screws holding the reflector housing in place and then unclip the wire connector.
Remove the two screws holding the LED board to the reflector housing and remove the factory LED board. The factory board and driver board will no longer be used.
Step 2 - Install Diode Dynamics LED Board
Install the supplied spacers between the board and the reflector housing as shown in the picture to the left. The spacers must be used in order to allow enough clearance for the LED chips. Secure the boards in place using the original screws.
Using the alignment tabs, reinstall the reflector housing in the headlamp housing, running the wiring through the dust cap and resealing any holes that you may create. Replace the lens and repeat for other headlamp.
Step 3 - Wiring LED Board
Connect the LED board to the RGBW driver. Then using the JST-to-M8 adapter wire included with the Diode Dynamics controller, connect the driver to the controller (sold separately). These modules can be used with any RGB or RGBW controller that operates with common anode (positive). See diagram below.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT plug the LED panel directly into the controller without the driver. The LEDs must be plugged into the driver first to control the power.
Step 4 - Final Steps
Connect your RGBW controller to 12V power and ground. This will dictate when the panels turn on. The most popular wiring choice is listed in the table below.
Mount drivers and controller, and tuck all wires. Drivers should be mounted outside of headlight for serviceability, in a location away from the engine block to avoid excessive heat buildup.
Test thoroughly, reseal headlight, and reinstall onto vehicle. This completes our installation. Enjoy your new Multicolor LED Boards!
