Package contents
a) Take all mounting parts and accessories from the package and at this point place the tubes away from the installation area for safe keeping.
b) Check the contents of the package to make sure they are complete prior to starting with the installation.
1) Test the tubes:
First of all test the LED tubes for proper function.
Please proceed as follows:
a) Connect the plus cable (red) of the tube to the positive pole (+) of your car battery or to another suitable 12V power source.
b) Now connect the ground cable (black) of the tube to the negative pole (–) of your power source.
c) The LED floor pan tube will light up.
Please note: The connections to the power source specified in steps 1a) + 1b) are for the sole purpose of testing the tubes as mentioned above. The connections should therefore be only temporary and easy to disconnect!
2) Installation of the LED GroundKit tubes:
According to the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards the tubes may not be taken into operation and may not be visible from the front, the back nor from the sides.
a) Select a suitable position for fastening the tubes. Please note: The tubes may not fastened in the vicinity of fuel lines, exhaust system, areas where high temperatures are generated and near moveable parts. The same applies to contact points for the car jack and car lift. Run the cables along the shortest connecting route to the power supply or to the fuse box (terminal 15 or 30). Do not connect the tubes at this time. The installation of an ON / OFF switch is recommended (electrical switch). (e.g. FOLIA TEC KILL-SWITCH On/Off)
b) Now fasten the tubes for the side area with the included holding straps at an interval of 25 cm on the vehicle. Make sure that all tubes are securely fastened.
3) See the wiring diagram for fastening and connecting the tubes
Tips:
For vehicles with fiberglass body, please connect the black ground cable of the tubes directly with the battery or an appropriate grounding point of the vehicle. Make sure beforehand that all connections are safely insulated.
Positioning the tubes:
- In context with the spring excursions of your vehicle, after installation of the tubes please check to make sure that the neon tubes and cables are properly adjusted and nothing compromises their secure fit by pushing the front and rear of the vehicle down several times in short strokes.
- Electronic devices, e.g. ABS-system, navigation instruments, etc. could possibly be influenced in their function.
Should the LED floor pan tubes not function properly, please check the following:
- The cable connections
- The fuse
- The cables (for breakage)
- The tubes
