The Installation Process:​

Pre-Installation Check:​

1. Without removing the adhesive liner, position each Hood Protector on the hood. Compare its alignment and fit to the vehicle's contours.
2. If you'd prefer to test the electrical connection before the full installation, you can jump straight to Step 4 and come back to the beginning later.

Step 1: Unpack and Prepare​

• Open the box and neatly arrange all components.

Step 2: Prepare the Surface​

• Clean the installation area on the hood, and apply the adhesion promoter (Fig. 1).

Step 3: Install the Hood Protectors​

• Press each Hood Protector into place while peeling away the tape's protective liner (Fig. 2).

Step 4: Disconnect Connector​

• Open the front hood.
• Open the black electrical box cover as shown in the picture (Fig. 3).
• Unplug the red connector with number "10" (Fig. 4).

Step 5: Connect Wiring Harness​

• Insert the vehicle's red connector (unplugged in Step 4) into the matching port on the Hood Protector's red wiring harness (Fig. 5).
• Plug the red wiring harness into the original vehicle’s socket (Fig. 6).
• Use the clip on the black harness to secure it to the vehicle’s screw and tighten (Fig. 7).
• Close the black cover securely.

Step 6: Route & Secure Wiring Harness​

• Attach the double-sided tape to the back of the transparent wire clips.
• Remove the backing from the tape, and attach clips in position.
• Secure the wire harness into the clips (Fig. 8).
• Use zip ties to secure the wiring harness to the lifting pole (Fig. 9).
• Trim off excess zip tie ends.

Step 7: Test Effect​

• Start the vehicle and verify all lights function properly.

Important Notes:​

• Do not drive the vehicle within 24 hours after installation.
• Keep the installation area dry for 72 hours.
