LED SCUFF PLATES HOW TO
I take no responsibility for any damage you may do to your car so please take your time and check everything is working and correct. This is just to help you fit them and may not be 100% correct.
Tools needed for this are
Multi meter
Phillips screwdriver and flat screwdriver
Cordless screwdriver
Solider iron or cable clamps and crimpers
3 m duel wire. Red / black
Silver ( gaffa) tape
Ok so you have your plates and screws for them and you’ve got you 2 led panels and 2 inverters and all the tools you need.
First thing to do is remove the old scuff plates sitting on the car, these are held in place with some poppers under the sill plate. If you take a flat screwdriver and slide it under (be careful not to scratch you paint) you will find the poppers holding the plate in place and you just need to lift them up a bit till the come away.
Cleaning the surface so the is no dirt trapped under the new plates.
So take your plate and turn it over and you will see the channel cut out for the panel.
Here you will fix your led panel in place with some gaffa tape to hold it in place.
Then you need to put it in the right place in the door so you cover the holes and it sits square.
Next you will need to fix the plates in place. The screws you have are self tapping screws so all you need to do id drill them in.
Next you will need to remove the cover strip along the door. This just pops off so flat screwdriver in the corner and lift it up.
Now you need to fix the wires for this over the rubber door seal and the passenger side can be hidden under the seat and the drivers side can be hidden in the fuse box in the corner.
Next is to remove the instrument gauge cover. Here there are 3 screws
There is one more at the bottom of the plastic to remove.
Next is to remove the cover. This is held in place with a few clips that just hold it in place.
And then you will need to disconnect the switches on the cover
And now you should have something like this.
Now you need to disconnect the battery for the next part.
You will see you key barrel and holding the plastic in place are 2 screws. Remove the screw and the light ring should come of. This is the wires you need to connect into. You will need to run cables to both sides for the inverters. After you have done this you need to feed the wires all the way through the dash and down to the inverters. Then the last bit to do is connect the wires up. Making sure you get them the right way around. You can check the with a meter to make sure they are right.
Then connect the battery back and check they both work when the door is open.
If all is working the last thing is to put the car back together and enjoy
