- Page 2 PKI-0041-5-E Please read the installation procedures thoroughly beforehand. ● In order for the lamp to perform at its full potential, use the relay harnesses manufactured by PIAA. ● All work procedures should be carried out in a location with adequate space. Place the shift lever in the parking position. Turn off the engine and set the parking brake. ● Make sure the engine compartment is adequately cool before starting work. Do not begin work if engine parts such as radiator, oil-cooler or turbo parts are still hot. ● Do not add additional holes to the main body of the lamp. Also, do not apply adhesives or stickers to the lamp parts. ● Do not modify the lamp harness or the switch harness in any way. Such modifi cations may cause it to overheat or short. In some cases, it may cause the vehicle to catch fi re. PIAA will not be liable for damage caused by such modifi cations. ● When removing the battery terminals, do not touch the (-) and (+) terminals simultaneously. An electrical shock may occur. Wear rubber gloves when carrying out such work procedures. ● Make sure the (-) and (+) terminals do not make contact with metal. It can be extremely dangerous if a short occurs. ● Make sure all bolts are tightly secure. If there are any loose bolts tighten them accordingly. ● After installing the lamp, adjust the lamp so the beam shines at least 40m in front of the vehicle. Also, adjust the lamp a little toward the right so that it does not shine directly into the eyes of the opposing driver of a vehicle. (as traffi c laws stipulate - refer to p.6 for adjustment procedures) ● After installing the lamp, make sure the headlamps, wipers and horn are working normally. ● When the battery terminal is removed, memory related to the clock, radio, audio system etc, will be aff ected. After all work procedures are completed, reset to the original settings. (For adjustment procedures refer to your car's instruction manual) Caution Regarding Wiring / Please read thoroughly ● When installing the wiring harness, strictly follow the cautionary points mentioned below. Incorrect or faulty wiring may cause the lamp to operate incorrectly. In some cases, it may cause the vehicle to catch fi re. ● Before you begin always remove the (-) and (+) terminals. Always remove the (-) terminal fi rst and make sure a short does not occur.
