• This installation manual does not apply for all vehicle types. Due to the
huge number of manufacturers and automotive makes, the following in-
stallation steps should serve as general guidelines. In case of vehicle-
specifi c questions, please contact the car manufacturer or a specialist
workshop.
• The daytime running lights must switch on automatically when the igni-
tion of the vehicle is activated, and switch off when the vehicle lights are
switched on. For this, it is imperative that you observe the instructions in
the section "Electrical Connection".
• Certain minimum or maximum distances must be observed when installing
the daytime running lights. For this, follow the instructions in the section
"Installation" without fail.
• When installing and operating the daytime running lights, always observe
the applicable motor vehicle regulations and road traffi c regulations. Be-
fore driving in a foreign country, fi nd out whether the mounting, mounting
location and operation of the daytime running lights is permitted and does
not violate applicable laws or ordinances.
• The daytime running lights are no replacement for the dipped headlights,
which must be switched on during twilight, in the dark or under poor visi-
bility conditions.
• The daytime running lights have an e-license and they need not be
recorded in the vehicle papers. We recommend, however, that this oper-
ating instructions manual be carried along with the vehicle papers.
• Improper mounting and cabling of the daytime running lights can lead to
damage of the electrical system of the vehicle, including important com-
puter and operating systems. This could also lead to an accident or fi re,
which could result in material damage and/or serious personal injury. We
recommend having a qualifi ed automotive electrician carry out the instal-
lation and connection.
• The device may only be supplied with power via the 12 or 24 V DC vehi-

questions arise that are not answered in these operating instructions,
please contact our technical service or another specialist.
Installation
Modifi cations to the vehicle made necessary due to the installation of the
product or other components must always be carried out in such a manner
that neither the traffi c safety nor the design stability of the motor vehicle
are impaired. With many vehicles, the MOT will be void if you cut out a
section of the sheet metal. Find out ahead of time from the vehicle manu-
facturer or a specialist shop.
If you are in doubt when selecting a place for installation, consult your
vehicle dealer.
When installing your daytime running lights, take into consideration the
risks that can arise from components being torn away in the event of an
accident. Therefore, you should secure each component in a place where
it will not pose a risk.
Before drilling, make sure that this will not damage any electric cables,
brake leads, the fuel tank or suchlike.
If holes are bored in the body of your vehicle, the shavings must be re-
moved, and the bare metal areas must be protected against corrosion with
suitable measures (colour, preserving spray, etc.).
• When determining the installation position, please observe the following legally pre-
scribed distances:
max. 1500 mm
For a vehicle width of <1300 mm, the distance between the lights can be
reduced up to 400 mm.
min. 600 mm
min. 250 mm
