BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION

2. Set parking brake.

3. Disconnect negative battery terminal.

BRACKET AND

LAMP INSTALL

1. Open hood

2. Three holes will have to be drilled per bracket for 

installation. Mark the location of these holes by using 
the brackets as a guide. Mark one side first, then take 
some careful measurements to get the other one spaced
the same on the other side then mark the other side.
Drill the marked holes using an 11/64" drill bit. Be 
careful when drilling because if you drill too far on the 
top holes you can dimple or drill through the outer skin 
of the hood.  A tip to protect from drilling too far is to 
wrap a few layers of tape around the drill bit about 1/4" 
to 1/2" down from the tip. This will prevent the bit from 
grabbing and going to deep.

3. Once the bracket holes are drilled the brackets can be 

mounted. Use the supplied mounting hardware to mount 
the brackets. A tip to get the nut on the top 
inside the hood is to wrap electrical tape around 
your finger, sticky side out and stick the nut to the tape 
on the tip of your finger. Reach in the hood opening 
to the screw and line up the nut and tighten the screw.

4. Bolt the PIAA 540 lights to the brackets using the 

shorter 10mm bolt supplied in the kit.
