BLINGLIGHTS BL-5000K Installation Instructions
WARNING: BEFORE YOU START, READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY
•
Check the owner’s manual of your vehicle and local traffic rules regarding any restrictions on the use of auxiliary lights.
•
Read the wiring diagram first. If you can not understand it, do not install the lights yourself, have someone qualified do the installation for you.
•
Do not install the lights on the front bumper of those vehicles with air bags, only if the owner’s manual indicates that it is forbidden (You may damage the
sensor and the air bags).
•
The lamps become hot while operating, keep them away from body parts. Do not touch or wash the lights for at least 10 minutes after use.
•
Use only compatible bulbs (H3) and fuse for replacement. Anything exceeding 55W/15 Amp could result in serious damage.
•
BLINGLIGHTS assumes no liability for any damage caused by improper use and/or installation of its products.
TOOLS NEEDED: Phillips screw driver #2, Crescent wrench, Pliers, Wire cutter, Electrical drill with 1/8”, 5/16” bits.
INSTALL THE LAMPS
1. Select a mounting location that will give you the maximum beam adjustment range and will not cause any obstruction for your vehicle’s normal
functions. Assemble the mounting brackets to the lamp units now. You may choose either top mount (bracket above the lamp) or bottom mount
(bracket underneath the lamp). Always have the small vent opening on the housing facing downward.
2. Set the lamp in its mounting position, aim the lens straight forward to get optimum illumination. Mark the mounting position on the mounting
surface.
3. Disassemble the bracket from the light. Install the mounting bracket onto the mounting surface by using the supplied self tapping screws.
Reassemble the light to the bracket.
4. Install the wiring harness according to the wiring diagram.
INSTALL THE WIRES & SWITCH
1. Disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle’s battery. (This may require resetting your radio and/or other electronic devices when
reconnected.)
2. Refer to the wiring diagram; lay out the wires through the engine compartment to their proper locations. Hint: Lay the relay and the fuse holder
as close to the battery as possible. Route the wires (red/white/yellow) of the 3-pin plug into the driver’s compartment through the fire wall (use
existing hole or a small hole should be drilled**).
3. Find a convenient location with a flat surface near the dash board, cut a ½” x ¾” rectangular hole** and route the three wires for the switch
through this hole to mount the switch into the hole. (Refer to the wiring diagram shown below)
4. Follow the wiring diagram; connect all the open-end wires of the harness to the related components or positions. Use the wire ties to secure the
loose wires so that they do not interfere with the vehicle’s normal functions.
5. Reconnect the negative terminal to the battery and turn on the switch to test the whole system. If both lights do not come on, inspect the system
in the following order: fuse/ground wire/battery connection/switch/lamp connectivity/relay. If only one side fails, check the light bulb and it’s
connect.
** Before you drill or cut, carefully locate a suitable area where there is no obstruction behind the surface being drilled or cut. ALTERNATE INSTALLATION METHOD
The lamps do not require any additional body panels. Shown left is an alternate installation method that you
may find easier. You can take the covers that are currently within your fog lamp openings and remove them.
Then secure the included enclosure in place to the backside of each panel using a cap/pvc pipe as shown
attached to the backside of each panel so the lens is flush. For this method do not use included metal brackets
and attach to pvc pipe by aligning screws to mounting points on lamps through either side of pipe as shown left.
If you are at all uncomfortable with the installation, you may bring the kit to a local stereo shop for the
installation. The installation should not take more than an hour. Do not bring the kit to a dealership because they
are not helpful when it comes to accessories purchased elsewhere for less. For any additional installation help
contact your seller.
