Step-by-Step Installation
1. Unpack Everything and Lay Out the LED Strips
- Position the front, side, and rear LED strips around your ride as you’ll want them installed.
- Ensure the arrows on the LED strips point toward the rear of your vehicle for correct data flow.
We highly recommend testing everything before installing LED strips.
2. Prepare the Mounting Surface
- Use a degreaser followed by rubbing alcohol to thoroughly clean the areas where the strips will be mounted.
- Dry completely—this step is crucial for the adhesive to stick properly.
3. Mount the LED Strips
- Starting at the front, peel off the adhesive backing and firmly press the strip in place.
- Work around your vehicle about 2 inches from the edge, repeating for each strip, pressing down along the contours.
4. Handle Gaps and Secure Strips
- We strongly advise securely attaching the LED strip to the underside of your vehicle for a flush fit. In some cases, gaps may occur due to vehicle contours or missing attachment surfaces (see photo below).
- For areas with no surface to attach the strip:
- Apply a heavy bead of clear silicone to the strip’s ends where the body stops and starts again. This prevents water or debris from entering and pulling the strip down.
- If silicone alone isn’t enough (rare cases), supply your own hanger and screw it into the vehicle’s underside to securely hold the strip. Use this as a last resort if silicone won’t suffice.
- For gaps caused by bolts or extreme angles:
- Fill gaps between the strip and underside with clear silicone to block water and debris, ensuring the strip stays firmly in place.
5. Run Wires and Secure
- Connect the wires from the receiver box in the engine bay and run wires to connect each LED strip. Use zip ties and adhesive mounts to keep wires secure.
- Avoid any heat-producing parts to keep your setup safe.
6. Heat-Cure the Adhesive
- Slowly go over each strip with a heat gun or hair dryer held 1-2 inches away. This will lock the 3M adhesive in place for a lasting hold.
7. Final Check and Adjustments
- Power on and use the included remote or connect to the Banlanx app for Apple & Android to adjust colors, brightness, and modes to your liking.
Note: For hidden, sleek LED strips, our Stealth Strip is the perfect add-on. Install by following the same cleaning and mounting steps, attach the Stealth Strip about 1 inch in front of each LED strip for a polished finish.
