Installation Instructions

Step 1 - Access the Factory LED Boards

With the headlights removed and opened, access the factory DRL boards. Use the removal and disassembly procedure appropriate for your headlight assembly.

Step 2 - Replace the Factory LED Boards

Disconnect and remove the original DRL boards. Install the matching replacement boards in their original locations using the factory mounting points and hardware. Complete this process for both headlights.

Step 3 - Connect the Drivers and Controller

Connect each LED board to its matching supplied driver. Connect the drivers to your RGBW controller using the appropriate adapter wires and extension wire.

IMPORTANT: Never connect an LED board directly to the controller. Each board must connect through its driver to control the power.

Final Testing and Reassembly

Step 7 - Mount Components and Test

Mount the drivers and controller outside the headlights for serviceability, away from the engine block and excessive heat. Secure the relay on the Ram kit and tuck wiring clear of hot or moving parts. Test both headlights, color control, and all connected factory lighting functions before resealing. For the Charger RGBWA kit, confirm amber turn signal operation and return to the selected DRL color.

Step 8 - Reseal and Reinstall the Headlights

Reseal the headlights and any wiring pass-throughs using the appropriate procedure for the assembly. Reinstall the headlights and verify operation.

The installation is now complete. Enjoy your new 2019-2024 Ram 2500/3500 Midline RGBW DRL LED Boards or 2019-2021 Dodge Charger Multicolor LED Boards!
