Philips H6024LED Installation Instructions

Installation Instructions for Philips Integral Beam Headlights:
H6024LED, H6054LED, H4651LED, and H4656LED
Philips Integral Beam Headlights are universal LED replacement upgrades for vehicles with H6024, H6054,
H4651, H4656 halogen sealed beam headlights. In some vehicles, the existing headlight wiring harness
will plug directly into the Philips Integral Beam LED Headlights and the headlights will work normally.
In other vehicles, a wiring harness adapter may be necessary.
Here's when that's necessary:
• Case 1
Your vehicle's headlight harness may have a connector that's not compatible with the connector
terminals on the back of the LED headlights. The Integral Beam Headlights are compatible with H4 type
connectors (female). If, for example, your vehicle wiring harness has an H13 style connector, you'll need
to purchase H4 (female) to H13 (male) wiring harness adapters.
• Case 2
Your vehicle's headlight harness connector may be compatible with the connector terminals on the back
of the Integral Beam Headlight, but the headlights don't work normally when the harness is plugged in.
For instance the high beam may come on when the headlight control is in the low beam position, or the
headlights may not come on at all. In this case, you'll need to purchase wiring harness adapters that
have an H4 connector (female) on one end and spade terminals on the other end. This will allow you
to connect each wire from the Integral Beam Headlight into the appropriate slot on the vehicle wire
harness connector.
If you need wiring harness adapters, purchase two (one for each headlight). The adapters are
inexpensive and can be found online by searching online for: Adapter wiring harness sockets.
Pre-installation steps:
• Put the headlight controls in the off position.
• Disconnect the headlight wiring harness from one headlight. You may have to temporarily remove items
such as the battery or fluid tank to gain access to the headlight.
• Next, determine if the vehicle headlight wiring harness connector plugs directly onto the Philips Integral
Beam Headlight, and if so, whether it provides correct headlight operation for high beam, low beam,
and off positions. If the slots in the vehicle wiring harness connector do not line up with the electrical
connectors on the Philips Integral Beam LED Headlight, or if they line up but do not deliver normal
headlight function, you'll need to purchase two wiring harness adapters as explained above. Depending
on your vehicle, you'll perform one of the three installations shown on the next page.
Troubleshooting tip: If the LED lights flash or flicker when you turn them on, you may need
to install a Philips CANbus Adapter. In some modern vehicles, LED bulbs can appear to flash
because many auto manufacturers use Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) to precisely control
the voltage to the headlights to improve bulb life. These quick, voltage pulses (PWM) don't
give a halogen bulb filament time to cool down and dim, so for halogen bulbs the pulses are
not noticeable. However, with an LED light, these pulses are enough to turn the LEDs off and
on very quickly, which results in a flashing of the light. If your LED lights flash or flicker after
installation, installing a Philips CANbus Adapter solves this problem, and installation takes only
minutes. Philips CANbus Adapters can be found at many online automotive retailers.
Installation items required:
• Tool(s) for headlight removal
(usually a Phillips screwdriver)
• Corrosion protection tape
• Dielectric grease
• Voltage tester
