Installation Guide
- Turn off all lights – Before starting, ensure the interior lights are switched off. The old bulbs may be hot, so allow them to cool if the car was recently running.
- Remove the old bulb – Gently pry off the lens cover using the included plastic trim tool. Carefully extract the stock halogen bulb by pulling it straight out of the socket.
- Install the new LED – Insert the Canbus LED bulb into the same socket. If it does not light up immediately, remove it, rotate 180 degrees, and reinsert. Snap the lens cover back into place. Repeat for all 18 locations.
