We recently partnered up with LEDGLOW who generously supplied us with an Advanced 3 Million Color USB LED Interior kit. After hooking it up, we were blown away from the color options and features designed into this kit. For those of you interested in purchasing this lighting option, we are here to help walk you through the easy installation which should only require a little more than an hour of your time.  

The first thing is to lay all of the tubes out on the ground and test the kit before installing it. You will need wire cutters, electrical tape, wire connectors and a basic screw driver set for the installation. Due to the fact that every car is different, some other tools may be necessary depending on your vehicle. Please be sure to carefully follow the instructions that were supplied with the kit in order to install everything correctly.

1.      Disconnect your cars electric supply – Disconnect the vehicle’s battery before proceeding to install the kit. This is a very important safety step. Always disconnect the battery through the negative battery cable.

2.      Choose a safe area to mount the tubes – Select an area in your vehicle’s interior that will provide an ideal mounting location. Generally people prefer to install the lights under the dashboard or under the seats to conceal the tubes while still providing the best illumination possible. You will want to install the tubes in an area where they will not be damaged by the seat track, doors or even the passenger’s feet. Keep them in a dry location and away from moving parts such as the pedal assemblies and steering components.  In our vehicle, we installed them in the trunk area under our custom speaker enclosure to give it some illumination during the night.

3.      Mount the tubes – Remove any interior plastic covers in your car that may be in the way. The next step is to install the tubes in a suitable area very carefully using the supplied mounting brackets, screws and zip ties. You may need to drill a few holes for proper bracket locations. Next, cover any of the holes that you may have drilled by inserting a rubber grommet to prevent any damage to the kit’s wires due to any movement that may occur while operating the vehicle.

4.      Connecting to the electrical source – The included control box includes a red and a black wire. The red wire can be connected to the positive side of the battery or to any 12 volt power source in the vehicle. The black wire can be connected to any ground source in the vehicle whether it is a chassis or the engine ground. If you must extend the power and ground wires you would want to use a 16ga wire and ensure that there is a 10 amp fuse within 6 inches of the power source. 

5.      Connecting to a fuse block - If you connect the kit to the fuse block you will want to tie it directly into an available power location.  If one is not available then you can use an “Add a Circuit” to tie it into the fuse box properly. This part is available at any local auto parts store.

6.      Securing the wires – Make sure that once everything is connected and working properly that you secure the wires so that nothing will get caught on them or pull them out, especially while the vehicle is in motion.  You may conceal them behind any plastic trim in the vehicle or the carpet as long as the wires and connections are away from any moving parts, heat or any areas that can potentially get wet.
