Installation Instructions
Step 1 – Access the factory DRL board
Remove the four T20 torx screws securing the black bezel inside the headlight. Carefully remove the bezel and set it aside.
Step 2 – Remove the factory LED board
Remove the two T20 torx screws holding the heatsink and black alignment bracket in place. Unclip the power connector from the factory LED board. Remove the two T15 screws securing the alignment bracket to the heatsink, then remove the final T20 screw holding the factory board in place.
Step 3 – Transfer the thermal pad
Carefully remove the thermal adhesion pad (sil-pad) from the back of the factory LED board and reattach it to the back of the new Diode Dynamics LED board.
Step 4 – Install the new DRL LED board
Using the alignment tabs, place the new Diode Dynamics LED board into position and secure it with the original T20 screw. Reinstall the black alignment bracket using the original T15 screws, taking care not to overtighten. Reinstall the heatsink using the original T20 screws.
Step 5 – Route wiring and reinstall bezel
Route the wiring out of the headlamp through the dust cap, sealing any holes you create. Reinstall the black bezel using the original T20 screws and reinstall the headlamp lens. Repeat Steps 1–5 for the opposite headlight.
Step 6 – Connect the LED boards to the driver and controller
Connect each LED board to its RGBW driver, then connect the drivers to a Diode Dynamics LED controller (sold separately). Do not connect the LED boards directly to the controller without the drivers.
Step 7 – Power and wiring connections
Connect your controller to 12V power and ground, or to the included SolidState Relay Harness if applicable. Tap the appropriate factory wires to determine when the DRLs activate, such as parking lights or DRL signals.
Step 8 – Mount components and test
Mount the drivers and controller outside of the headlight housing for serviceability, in a location away from the engine block to avoid excessive heat buildup. Test the system thoroughly, then reseal the headlights and reinstall them on the vehicle.
The installation is now complete. Enjoy your new Multicolor DRL LED Boards!
