What Comes in the Box:
- IP68 Waterproof Rock Lights (quantity depends on kit)
- Waterproof Bluetooth Control Module
- IP68 Waterproof Remote Control
- Mounting Bolts and Nuts
- 5ft Extension Wires
- Zip Ties
Tools and Materials Needed:
- Drill with bits slightly larger than the included mounting bolts (optional if you're going with our Extreme Magnet Mounts)
- Screwdriver
- Zip ties
Step 1: Prep and Test Like a Pro
- Unbox Like a Boss: Take everything out of the box and lay it out. Make sure nothing is hiding!
- Test Before You Drill: Connect the wiring harness to your battery (black wire to negative, red wire to positive). Test all the lights using the remote or LEDShow app. If everything lights up like a Christmas tree, you’re good to go.
- App Time: Download the LEDShow app for Apple & Android, turn on your phone’s Bluetooth, and pair it with the control module. Time to flex those app-control skills.
Step 2: Installing the Bluetooth Control Module
- Perfect Placement: Tuck the control module inside the frame, away from engine heat. Trust us, you don’t want to fry it.
- Lock It Down: Secure the control box with zip ties so it doesn't rattle like an old toolbox.
- Wire It Smart: We recommend wiring it to an on/off switch to avoid power drain.
Step 3: Mounting the Rock Lights
In the Wheel Well:
- Remove Liners: Take off the plastic liners if they’re in the way.
- Drill, Baby, Drill: Pick a spot for the lights, pre-drill the mounting holes, and don’t forget the third hole for the wire lead.
- Bolt It Up: Use the provided bolts and nuts to secure the light in place. Feed the wire through that third hole you drilled earlier.
Optional Magnetic Mounts:
- Magnetic Magic: If you’re using magnetic mounts (sold separately), attach them and find your perfect light spot.
- Hole Time: Just like before, drill a hole for the wire lead and secure the light.
Optional Magnetic Mounts:
- Magnetic Magic: If you’re using magnetic mounts (sold separately), attach them and find your perfect light spot. Make sure it is on metal/paint to have a secure hold. Don't forget to adhere the plastic rings to the magnets so you don't scratch your paint.
- Hole Time: Just like before, drill a hole for the wire lead and secure the light.
Step 4: Taming the Wires
- Hide the Evidence: Run the wires along your ride’s existing wiring and zip tie them up high, out of sight.
- Zip It Up: Use zip ties to keep everything in place. Seriously, zip ties are your best friend here.
- Connect the Dots: Plug the wires into the control module, and you're in business.
Step 5: Power and Ground
- Battery or Switch?: Connect the control module to the battery, or better yet, install a switch for easy on/off control.
- Upfitter Options: If you’ve got upfitter switches, that’s your easiest route. Just make sure the power source is 12v.
Step 6: Bluetooth Remote and App Control
- App It Up First: Before you dive into light shows, connect your app to the control module via Bluetooth.
- Download & Pair: Make sure your phone's Bluetooth is on and open the LEDShow app. It should auto-pair with the module.
- Power Check: Double-check that the control module is getting 12v power and that the fuse is good to go.
- Let the Fun Begin: Now you’re ready to control everything with your phone. Time to light up the night!
Common Mistakes and Pro Tips
- Module Placement: Keep that control box away from engine heat.
- Wire Routing: Make sure wires are tucked safely away from anything hot or moving. You don’t want melty wires or snapped cables.
- Optional: Save your battery and wire in an on/off switch for ultimate control.
Follow these steps, and your ride will be glowing in no time!
