Step-by-Step Upgrade Guide

Step 1: Identify Bulb Types

Check your owner’s manual or existing bulbs to determine socket types (common sizes: DE3175, T10, Festoon). ZHENAO kits include adapters for universal compatibility.

Step 2: Disconnect the Battery

  • Remove the negative terminal to prevent electrical shorts.

Step 3: Remove Old Bulbs

  • Footwell/Trunk Lights: Unscrew or unclip the housing.

Step 4: Install ZHENAO LEDs

  1. Insert LEDs into sockets, ensuring polarity matches (+/-).

  2. Reattach housings and test before securing lenses.

Step 5: Add Ambient Lighting (Optional)

  • Footwell Kits: Use adhesive strips to mount ZHENAO’s RGB strips under seats/dash.

  • Wire to Fuse Box: Connect to a switched fuse (e.g., cigarette lighter) for automatic on/off.

Step 6: Reconnect Battery & Test

  • Ensure all lights function properly. Adjust RGB colors via remote/app if equipped.
