# sorry for my poor English


STEP 1:

remove the Passenger seat's glove box. u will see a fuse box on your left inside the glove box area.




STEP 2:

on the top left of the Fuse box, u will see a blue (constant 12V) wire and pink wire ("door open" signal).

it will be use to wire your LED strip.

tap a wire to the BLUE wire from the fuse box and connect it to one of your switch's terminal


STEP 3:

connect the LED strip's "+" (usually the Red wire) to the other terminal of your switch


STEP 4:

connect the "-" (usually the Black wire)of your LED to the PINK wire which is located in the fuse box.


STEP 5:

drill a hole on those removal panel in order to fit in your switch's size.




STEP 6:

place your LED strips to your desired location and stick it with the provided double sided tap.


STEP 7:

u may HIDE all the wires behind the panel, i think this won't be a hard job.
u may hide the wires wherever u feel like to.


FINAL STEP:

Turn ON your switch and you are ready to GO....
