10.
Find a safe, secure, and dry place to mount the underbody
tube junction box. We recommend mounting the junction box
inside of the car, if possible. If this is not possible, we suggest
mounting the junction box under the hood in the driest location
available. The junction box is not designed to be mounted under
the hood, and all warranties will be voided if the junction box
fails due to improper installation or because of water damage.
Optional: For extra protection, apply a thin bead of silicone
along the seams of the junction box to seal it.
11. Mount the underbody kit’s control box in a safe and secure
location inside of your vehicle. Connect the underbody tube junction
box’s distributor cable to the control box. If the junction box is
mounted under your hood, run the lead wire through a pre-existing
hole with a grommet in your firewall and to the control box. If you
do not have a pre-existing hole in the firewall you can drill one, just
be sure to use a rubber grommet to ensure the lead wire is not cut or
pinched.
This underbody kit can be powered one of two ways.
a.
Connect the red power wire to any 12 volt
source. If you need to extend the power wires, be sure to only use 14
or
16 gauge automotive grade wire. If you are running the power wire
to
the battery, it must go through the firewall by using an existing
grommet or by drilling a hole and adding a new grommet which is
available at any auto parts store. Be sure to install a fuse within 6
inches of the power source.
(You will have to install and
additional fuse if you have to extend the wires.)
If you connect the
power wire to a switched 12 volt source, the underbody kit may not
remember the color and pattern it was last on before turning off the
vehicle. If you connect the power wire to a constant 12 volt source,
the underbody kit will remember the last color and pattern it was on
prior to turning the vehicle off.
Do not run the wire through the
door jam, the wire can be pinched and will void all warranties.
b.
This underbody kit can also be powered
directly from your vehicle’s fuse box. If you are powering the kit via
the fuse box, LEDGlow recommends that you install the wire using
LEDGlow’s Add-a-Circuit which is available on
LEDUnderbody.com.
12.
Connect the black wire to a good, unpainted ground source. A couple of good ground sources are under the dash at any main bracket or grounding block, the
negative post on your battery, or any engine ground.
13.
Beginning with the rear tube, run the power wire to the location of the junction box. Make sure to secure the wires tightly when going around the suspension
part and/or exhaust. Leave at least 8 inches between the exhaust and the underbody tube. If a power wire is pinched, the kit may malfunction and the warranty
could be voided. Run the rear tube’s power wire along one of the side tubes and make sure it is tightly secured. Next, run both side tubes power wires to the
junction box, then lastly run the front tube’s power wire to the junction box.
14.
It is imperative to make sure that the wires are not mounted to any direct heat source or to any moving parts. Any excess length on the tube power wire will
have to be bound up and secured tightly.
15.
DO NOT SHORTEN OR CUT ANY OF THE UNDERBODY TUBE POWER WIRES. This will destroy the kit and void all warranties.
16.
Lower the vehicle if it was raised, power on and test the underbody kit for full functionality.
17.
Once the vehicle is on the ground, turn the steering wheel as far as it can go in both directions to ensure the tubes and/or wires are not coming in contact with
your tires or any other moving parts.
If a tube or wire is damaged by the tire and/or any moving parts the warranty will be voided.
Optional Interior Add On Tube Installation
1.
Once your underbody kit is installed you can start installing your optional interior lighting tubes.
2.
Connect the interior tube junction box, the box with 6 ports, to the port on the control box that is labeled “Light 2”
3.
Depending on which kit your purchased will determine tube placement, but you can install these interior tubes anywhere you would like. We recommend either
under your dashboard, under your front seats, under the rear seats, or even in your trunk.
Warning: The interior tubes are only intended to be installed to the interior of your vehicle, and are not water resistant. Mounting these tubes outside
of the vehicle could cause water damage, and will void LEDGlow’s warranty.
Warning: Do not shorten or cut the lead power wires on the interior tubes, this will destroy the kit and void the warranty.
4.
Once you have determined the mounting location for your interior tubes, clean any dirt, oil, dust, or cleaning product from the surface using an alcohol prep pad.
5.
Using the included 3M tape and screws mount the interior tube clips to your mounting location and snap the interior tubes into the clips. If you are unable to
mount the tubes to a flat location using the clips, mount the tubes using the included zip ties.
6.
Once you are done mounting all of your interior tubes, run the lead power wire from each tube to the interior tube junction box. Be sure to keep the lead wires
away from any moving parts, for example, the pedals, steering column, and/or seat tracks.
Sound Mode
1.
There are two ways that your kit can pick up sound to have it react to the music playing inside of your vehicle:
a.
Connect the music and light sensor to your control box. Place the sensor close to your speaker to allow it to pick up the vibration.
b.
Connect the control box directly to your head unit using the output source wire.
