All cabling must be secured with the smaller tie-wraps supplied to prevent snagging
with any objects on the ground. For this reason, it is particularly important that no
cable loops should hang down.
Cables should enter the passenger compartment through holes drilled large enough
to accept the grommets supplied. Ensure that the drilling of these holes will not
inflict damage to wiring or other equipment. The green connector blocks can be
removed from the cables to assist with threading the wiring towards the ECU.
Note – In the unlikely event of a tube cable being too short to reach the ECU, it may be
extended with a similar, stranded, three-core cable. Most common three-way electrical terminal
blocks will be adequate for joining the wires.
Step 4: Connect ICELED tubes and power to the ECU
The 3-way connectors terminating the red green and blue wires from each of the
four tubes can be reassembled and plugged in at this stage. If they are inserted in

For safety, connections to the 12V supply should be made with the fuse
temporarily removed from its holder in the red lead.
The red + wire from the fuse should be run directly to the vehicle battery if possible
in order to maintain a permanent supply for standby mode. Other power 'pick-up'
points may be suitable so long as they provide an uninterrupted supply. In either
case the fuse holder must be located nearest to the supply end so that the fuse can
be effective in protecting the wire all the way back to the ECU. To maintain
protection, if this wire is to be shortened at all, it must be cut off at the end furthest
from the fuse.
The ring terminal on the end of the short black wire needs to be firmly attached to
the vehicles metalwork using the self-tapping screw and serrated washer supplied. A
good contact is essential here.
If door switch activation is to be used a suitable connection must be made to the
Aux. terminal labelled D. A switch connecting this circuit either to chassis or supply
when the door is open is the only requirement. Any small-gauge wire will be
adequate for this connection as virtually no current flows into this high-impedance
sense input.
Step 5: Power-up and initial test
